@riot Suggestion: Give all Sona skins one song

Sona has a great kit and aesthetic design but her personality was always a bit lackluster compared to other champions who have dialog. She's supposed to be a musical genius but the only sounds she ever makes are some chords attached to her joke etc. Then you brought out DJ Sona and really nailed it. Finally it felt like Sona was a proper musician. The change in music during games with DJ Sona really highlights her thematic as a musician.

But now I'm finding all her other skins dull in comparison. So I thought it would be cool if you could give each skin a song. Her Pentakill skin could play Mortal Reminder, her Arcade skin could play Bit Rush, etc. DJ Sona would have 3 different songs which would still make it superior and worth the extra rp.

Also I think the enemy team should be able to hear the music. (Including DJ Sona's tracks).

So which video game should Arcade sona be playing the music from?

I'd prefer the FF fight music.

It'd be nice if each skin had its own unique sound palette to emphasize the theme, like they already do with Arcade and Guqin. Also giving her a unique melody on her joke would be a nice touch, like on Silent Night Sona; this one might be easier to implement too, since it is smaller scope.

I just think the track playing to the whole team, while a neat idea, is going to remain DJ Sona's thing alone. It is in-part what makes the skin Ultimate, and giving that to other skins would muddle that. Again, its a cool idea, but I'm ok with it being special to DJ.
