Is Aurelion Sol the hardest champ in the game?

Holy shit. I don't think I've had a harder time playing any other champ in the game than I have with . I'm never going to insult anyone that picks him ever again.

It's because he's one of the worst champs in the game not the hardest.

Very sure we got plenty of champions who also fit the notion such as Taliyah i practically never see anymore even though her abilities had such useful gimmicks till they had to 'rebalance' her alot though its technically a bit tricky to aim with her 'rock shooting' ability and requires some good insight play to make use of her combo with W and E to counter blast enemies with dash abilities or disrupt them. Even though her R when done right could setup some perfect lock downs to devastate a bunch of enemies, long as Taliyah doesn't screw up her Wall Surfing on that Ultimate.

I could name a few others i recall that fit the bad spots even if people try to 'white knight' them with things like a 'strong late game' that isn't compensated enough for a horrible early/mid game. Tristana being a good example with a kit that can put her in wreck less spots or easily get exposed to champions who have very easy ways to do strong poke damage even without lethality builds.

Lets also not forget champions like Shaco Hecarim Yasuo LeeSin Bard Lucian MissFortune Sion TahmKench Pantheon Nautilus Ekko and many others who also are basically 'oppressive champions' whether its thanks to overpowered builds or just having too much raw stats and benefiting too easily from itemization that a good deal of particular champions can't even be considered playable anymore till they got huge reworks or became open to some new broken gimmick thru itemization or a stat just brought that opportunity to make them insanely strong.

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Strong champs have some kind of proper downside (such as maybe horribly MR, Armor, strong early game that falls off horribly even with runes and item builds to compensate or an actual problem in their kit that makes them weak against certain playstyles), would be the perfect solution to help balance a few things up. Reason im glad Graves will be losing his MR on his E in the next patch hopefully which will make him quite weak against AP based champions, even if it does still grant him strong counter jungling against AD junglers and dealing with AD type champions (which basically covers half of the norm picks in mid lane, everything in bot lane basically and the majority of top lane picks still).

I'll be sure to find a post from when Graves was bad, reply to it now and tell OP what an idiot he is. That'll make sense.

Season eight didn't exist when that guy made his post. Read the posts you're responding to.

I think Riven is the hardest Champ in the game. Also yeah, ao shin is hard as fk to play

Automated RivenMay 19, 20181 votes

I don't agree. Riven is likely the hardest mechanically to play well. However her kit grants her alot of safety as well as the ability to dictate trades in her lane.

If a sol fucks up once in positioning then he loses all damage for the rest of the fight. Also getting cced has the same effect. I would rank a sol harder then riven. Probably azir is harder as well.

I see what you did here

it was more literally intended. As in don't worry about your teammates as much, perhaps a nice stun or gank but you gotta focus on you.

He requires more perfection in positioning than the average champion. However, that's a skill you could apply to any character. I'd say inherently, he's not the hardest champion since his actual ability mechanics are fairly bland. There's significantly harder characters to play due to other factors outside of positioning.
