Lets get Aurelion Sol reworked

Aurelion Sol was the most hyped and looked forward to champion of LOL ever as far as I'm aware. However, practically immediately after his release he fell to the bottom of the most played list. Shouldn't a rework be conducted to make this champion more likely to be played? I few changes I think would be healthy are the fallowing.

Center of the Universe: should activate after damaging an enemy or activating Celestial Expansion. It should turn off after a duration of not dealing damage to enemies or minions. It should not stop when hit by CC.

Starsurge: should deal increased damage the larger it is to a cap. It feels underwhelming as it is now when you run down the lane with a huge vortex to then detonate and deal so little damage.

Comet of Legend: should not reset from damage taken except for the bonus movement speed and should not have a charge build up in addition to cooldown for the active portion. To clarify: The active portion of this ability should only have a cooldown and should not be able to be canceled by anything but hard CC. The passive should remain the same.

Voice of Light: personally I don't like this ult at all. I do think, being a dragon, Sol should shoot something out of his mouth but this ult is underwhelming as well. Maybe if it was longer it would feel more dragon-like. As if breathing fire for a duration. The only thing I can think of to keep this and simply tweak it would be to keep it the same but and some duration to it. Have an initial blast but keep it going, like Vel'koz, however, let him move around still. I picture many dragon moves that the dragon is moving around shooting fire from it's mouthing and sweeping buildings. This wouldn't overshadow Vel'koz's ult since it doesn't react to a true damage passive. I could also see it doing less damage but in a bigger area.

I'm sorry, but what evidence do you have that says Sol fell to the bottom immediately after release?

Do you know how broken his damage was on release? You do realize they nerfed the shit out of him multiple times because of this right? And even then he still saw pro play.

I dont think Aurelion's problem is his kits weakness or whatsoever... The problem this great Champ has is his balance. I really love Aurelion as this Roaming DPS monstrosity which excels when your team is not Bronze5.

However this simple but effective Kit leaves no place for mistakes - you're either a god spamming him 24/7 or you're not a get rekt hard becaused they gutted everything which would allow a misstep or two. And I simply dont like to put that much effort into a single champion that can be pretty frustating to play if your team decides to feed this freaking (insert any Assassin/MeleeADC). (It's not even the fact that his kit should be more forgiving... I expressed this wrong... He has this ONE playstyle he is balanced for - follow it perfectly and win, or dont and loose, and I like experimenting a lot more than that.)

He's just like Azir, he's balanced for the Top 1% of people playing him, and he must be balanced this way, which is sad.

.. that's why I'll stick with my Swain - he's a not so much roaming DPS monstrosity who can carry bronze5s if necessary doesnt get rekt by two gap closers and has alot more space to express individual skill which is why there is not just this 1 perfect playstyle he has to follow no matter what.
