Pretty sure Aurelion Sol is straight up unplayable in his current state.

Can't wait to see his winrate for this patch. I fully expect it to be in the 30% range.

It's PHYSICALLY impossible to kill someone with him early game now. You do more damage to your mana bar than the enemy. Awesome change riot. Considering W is the only source of his damage, nerfing that is akin to nerfing an ADCs auto attack by a huge amount.

idk what they did in LCS to make him deserve this but whoever made them gut him, I wish bad things upon you.

"But he got QOL buffs on his E"

that's like giving ADCs automatic attack move when good players were already just attacking moving anyway and then taking away half their damage to compensate. Not even close to compensation.

I think you have to max Q again. W only gets 5 dmg per rank with more baked into plain levels.

Guess they wanted to gate his early power and make waveclear more difficult for him.

I don't get why they removed Escape Velocity. It gates his potential to roam. Sure it's not a very strong one, but I feel like it's going to make him play very differently.

His mains had 65% winrates, some even touching on 70%. That's considered "not OK" by riot. It wasn't over a small number of games either, it was over at least 10 thousand.
