I kinda just realized this.
I know her selection line is "Only you can hear me summoner, what masterpiece shall we play today?"
So obviously her lines are outdated, but if Riot were ever to update her VO, what would they do?
Just have musical tones play for movement or something?
Or is she just going to be in a corner somewhere internally screaming at everything that's going on?
Legacy of Xion25 votesIn Lore, Summoners are retconned. Ingame, you're still a summoner.
Make sense? No?
Welcome to Rot Lore Fans 2015. We're still waiting, ten months later, for shit to be fixed, and released, so we can actuslly have meaningful discussions.

Iceborn Pippin16 votesSona: "We are in accord summoner." Me: "Terribly sorry mam but I be no summoner." Sona: "Then who are you?" Me: "Some bloke behind a computer monitor." Sona: "Ohhh..." Me: "Yeah sorry, the powers that be rewrote history and still do."

CasterGilgamesh1 votesoh god yes
Foodtank4 votesADAGIO, NERDS!
The Whamboozler2 votesIt doesn't matter... the game isn't canon anymore. Nothing is real. Existence is a cruel lie.
Gamemaster Anth2 votesIt is said that the world of Earth contains...a power. A power given to all of the human race.
A latent psychic ability that all can use...but only the most talented can use to see other worlds.
This power allowed many to see many worlds, but they only thought them to be images from their own imagination. From these images...many works of fiction came to be on Earth.
No one knew that these images were of real worlds beyond their imagination. That is...until one day...
...a Master came and shattered the fourth wall for good...
(Sorry...had to do it. Think of this as a little glimpse into the meat of my fanfiction.)
Narasimha1 votesDidn't they say summoners still exist, in some form or fashion?
OverpoweredSoap2 votesDidn't they say summoners still exist, in some form or fashion?
I thought they said they weren't canon at all anymore? I dunno, I may be misinformed but I thought they just said they straight up don't exist anymore, along with the whole institute of war.
Centuros3 votesApparently they still exist "within the game".
Bear in mind that the game itself is non-canon now (while still being entirely canon sometimes, like with Ekko's VO).
Dextix LT5 votesSummoners out of IOW still exist (if there are any) but sona is speaking to us. Not to some summoner.
Basically narrative retconed lore but are too lazy to fix everything they fcked up in the proces (some VO's). Even nocturne says "Do you fear me summoner".
Narasimha1 votesTo be fair, that's not on them at all. You can't just go in and change a line for a character. If you're going to do that, might as well change more. And if you want to change more, you need more resources (vocalist, sound team, etc) .
GreenLore1 votesSummoners aren't canon outside of the lore anymore,but the game is seperate from the lore and players are still referred as summoners.
Also they didn't clean up a lot of things when they announced the retcon,so stuff like Sona still talking to you might be something they simply didn't have the time to change.
Motajo1 votesSince the game isn't canon, she doesn't really speak with us, or something. I don't know, that's all I got for this loose end.
Jungle Lux God1 votesIf Sona had her VO changed, it would probably be changed to have a musical VO based off of her etwahl in a similar fashion to how Rek'Sai has screeching noised for her VO and Bard has chime noises for his (its?) VO.
It definitely be unique, but I'd be worried that players would lose aspects of Sona that they like about her from her VO, as Rek'Sai and Bard weren't champions that got new VO's, but instead were new champions with brand new VO's.

PiRoScOuT1 voteswhat is the new name for these?
{{summoner:2}} 
{{summoner:17}} 
besides just spells?
Tsumikiri1 votesNaw but seriously, all of the places where champion VOs conflict with the retcon will not be fixed until each of those champions gets a complete rework since VOs take a long time to make (gotta get voice actors and lines for every language). When will Sona's rework come? Potentially many years since she doesn't have any huge problems nor does she lack visual quality. Or maybe Riot will go with the thing Legacy of Xion said in this thread already. Who knows.
