Seriously, though, has everyone just forgotten that Sona exists?

I mean, thanks to her exceedingly bare-bones lore (which has ALWAYS been bare-bones, even before any retcons), all she's got going for her is being the mute girl who plays music in Demacia.

Now we have Aphelios, who is also mute and is another Lunari champion that people have wanted for some time now. So now Sona doesn't even have THAT going for her.

All the new Demacia lore didn't even so much as mention her once. Literally all she got was her short blurb on the Universe page updated to briefly cover how some no-name Demacians view her.

Now that they've seemingly moved on from Demacia, does that mean Sona's basically stuck in lore limbo forever? I mean, they've repeatedly missed easy chances to update her, let her have some sort of interaction with someone... You could outright delete her from the game at this point and the lore would be entirely unaffected by her removal, which is absurd for a character affiliated with one of the biggest in-universe regions and who has abilities that said nation should consider taboo.

She's pretty much on Talon level on the lore scale. It feels like the team still needs to pinpoint what they exactly want to do with them, which would explain why they were both completely left out by the updates of their own regions.

Sonas main fantasy was never "oh she is a mute girl", it was that she was a magicial musician. I mean sure Bard does that too kinda, but he is very otherworldly and his kit doesn't really revolve around music.

You mean Senna :) joke aside, support item change really hurt Sona..she deserve some love tap.

Definitely. Sona is such an intriguing character from Demacia, a mute musician who has magical powers, brought from Ionia to Demacia because she was an orphan, a magical instrument that wouldn't leave her even if separated. Just how do we go so long without lore specifically for her? I mean holy hell there is just so much potential being threaded into other stories leaving her with the needle. I really do hope they have something planned for her in the near future because at this rate she just doesn't exist.

It's exceedingly frustrating how in both Demacia updates they didn't touch Sona at all. Besides her lore blurb, the most we have is some vague mention of a House Buvelle hunting larty in Quinn's backstory... and that's not really even related to Sona herself, so we're still left at nothing

It's kinda weird cuz Sona uses magic along with being a musician and Demacian hates magic now. Previously I thought of her as a musical celebrity with some cool magic and now she can't use that half of her because of the new Demacian lore. So...I guess now she's just a celebrity with normal music? There needs to a be a short with her and Lux.

And I’m just here thinking how didn’t they capture her at the very beginning, since demacia is strongly against mages. How is she still be able to linger around demacia knowing she can create magic and miracles with her Etwahl. Riot really need to explain and update her lore. Unless she took over demacia and controlled everyone, since in her lore it stated that she can control peoples mind.

Least Sona isn't waiting over 3 years for a skin... Bard

You should be glad you are still be able to play her at all. For when her lore will get update, it's probably because she'll get a gameplay update too, making Sona a different champion

I feel like you're ignoring quite a number of interactions she has with people.

REMEMBER THAT HEADCANON WHERE JHIN SHOT HER IN THE NECK!?

All still know her, though they try to forget. Soon we will remind them.

Sona has gotten more attention than Zyra has. Sona got to be a part of an entire event and skinline.
