scrapping ao shin for aurelion sol was dumb

Kiokami··6 votes·1,038 views

aurelion sol has the most unintuitive breadead kit i've ever seen.

"here walk with this orb then let it go"

"here make your circle of stars bigger"

"here run faster and jump walls"

"here knock people back and stuff"

i rarely see aurelion sol players. it's not because he's not good. he's actually pretty solid. he's just BORING AS FUCK

Hes actually kinda bad. Hes only solid like people say he is when hes in the niche comps or happens to get fed. Hes not consistent, hes too vulnerable, and he needs tuning. Then I can play him more often again. Until then only in norms im afraid.....

He coulda been so much cooler.

If they won't GU him heavily they should atleast siphon power from his stars. Kinda like how they put more power into Zyra Plants or Malz Voidlings, they should take power out of his starts. I think his E active should be completely reworked. Abilities that combo together are great! Except when one of them is very weak without the other. Look at Zed: All his abilities synergize but are even stronger together. Most of the time you won't get a Q+E combo well from a far away start point. Nor do I think of Aurelion Sol as the super roamer, I think of him as the zoning mage who can kite you to hell and back.

How do you know ao'shin would be different? Unless im mistaken we've only seen concept arts and very early ideas of what he'd supposed to be. He could have the same kit regardless of his name/theme.

Besides, space god galactic dragon is way cooler than cloud dragon ^^

it was told that ao shin was going to be like an elementalist.

Fair enough, but it was also stated he was very early and the only solid thing about him was his thems.

Im not saying ao'sol doesnt have problems (tho i like him), im saying the whole name and theme change wasnt likely what caused his kit to be that way.

{quoted} breadead kit

I agree, he's very unhealthy in his current breaded state. He would be so much better if riot simply baked him.

also you could make any champion look boring, here's lux

"here I can shoot sparkly magic that makes people stand still"

"wooo my wand is a boomerang"

"more sparkly magic, only this time it blows up"

"wooo a laser"

Or Poppy..

"Look I throw shield"

"I smash ground with hammer"

"I slam you against wall now"

And then we have Munro

"I through cleaver"

Amumu

"I throw bandage at you"

"I cry now"

Hmm, yep any can be made to sound boring...

You are right XD

Obviously haven't played much Sol. I'm level 7 Sol, so I should know there's quite a bit of fun to be had.

-Clearing waves hell fast with W active -Chasing people down with W and E passive with little resistance -Insta-killing squishies with a full combo -Landing the entire lane wide Q -cross map ganks -One of the best VO's in the game (Should make special taunts play on kill though. Too hard to actually use :/)

He might not be fun for all types of people, but he is far from being devoid of all fun.

I love using him in mid (when it's not a Zed or Diana).

Especially when I get Rylia's.. That slow helps me get away but also helps me stick to my target and keep them in my ring of heavenly death XD

he really is quite boring. A lot of your damage is just waiting for the stars to connect, which takes time. Not to mention he's so vulnerable to just about any assassin, fighter, tank, or basically anyone smart enough to avoid his ring. Having to rely on an ult to save you really doesn't feel like solid counterplay. He needs changes.

You know, I don't understand how people play Warwick XinZhao or Janna , but they do.

Sometimes man... you need a boring champion in League of Legends. Its very existence spices things up if you really think about it

you dont see aurelion sol players because he is bad

he is litteraly dead meat if you jump on top of him

his E is one of the worst skills in the game, it would be semi usefull if it had a cooldown that wasnt longer then most ultimates in the game

his Q is an inferior version of anivia's Q

he is basicaly anivia without the wall and the damage
