Hey, yeah, now I can definitely see your point and I must admit that I am divided. I have to think about longer to make up my mind, but it is very ambiguous in my opinion. Targeting types is determined at the point of activation (so if you are not using quick cast, it would be the input after pressing the ability button to the left click to finally cast the spell) and I think auto target is the wrong word for Sona's E. Sona's Song of Celerity does not select a target at all as Orianna's W or R would do. Orianna's W and R are ground targeted, but since there is no input from the player immediately before W or R are casted, they are considered auto-targeted. This is not the case with Sona, but she still has no "target input".

So I am divided and I think I will think about it more, perhaps propose a definition change for the ability categorization to the forums.
