Its the main question that i have about the selection of her. i cant argue with the quality and time that was put into this. (and it does show) Can you share some of the other competitors that she had to go against? (in regards to getting picked and you dont have to reveal the theme ... i would like to only know the names of the champs)
I'm going to throw a guess : Because the DJ idea was probably floating for a while in their heads. And because someone at riot decided he wanted to go throught with it and made it (or made the first steps and people followed).
From what we saw of riot's workflow. It seems like it's really "free form". While the head can direct more manpower to a specific project, completion is ultimately linked to how willing their designers are to work on it. If a gang got into their head to work on DJ-sona, DJ-sona was meant to go forward faster than others. From there, the management probably saw a well fleshed out skin wiht the potential for ultimate. So there it is.
i wanna see some of the competitors of this skin sounds interesting
DJ Sona was first requested, to my knowledge, back in the good ol' GD Days in 2011. The first thread i ever read on it received 2.1K Upvotes and 3K+ Comments. A Year Later we got Arcade Sona. But most importantly DJ Sona was a community requested skin and i think the wait was well worth it, To be honest this skin is amazing compared to anything they could have come out with 4 years ago for Sona.

I think they saw potential and went for it. This skin made sonas fairly bland abilities extremely fun to use, not to mention they made it different than the other two ult skins by making it focused around music/sound which was their way of creating something new and interact able.
