Can we make Aurelion viable again?
Cause I like him but seriously I've seen like 1 Aurelion in the past 200 ranked games and I beat him badly, simply because he's Aurelion and he's a bad champ right now. At this point it's not a matter of no one knowing how to play him, he's just not good and there's infinite ways to outplay him. Jhin came only like a month earlier than Aurelion and Jhin's pick rate is like 20%, he's at least tier 1, meanwhile Aurelion regularly drops to 44% win rate while Jhin bottoms out at only 49.2%.
So, how to rework him to be viable in ranked:
-
Make it so his Q can be instantly reactivated and stun people, just like Anivia's Q. This is probably the biggest flaw in his kit, he's literally a free kill if you just walk up him.
-
Slightly increase the maximum range of Celestial Expansion.
-
More on Celestial Expansion, make it so players can choose what intermediate distance they want the stars to orbit at between the minimum range and maximum range like a normal ability, increasing the mana cost the further the stars orbit.
-
Make it so only hard cc stop his flying celestial buildup, not just a pebble thrown at him.
