I dont even play the champ but got in a aram today... Why did you nerf this champ to the point that every skill he has is countered and stopped by silence fear ect... Like his whole damage revolves around the stars and they get shut off by any cc like i dont understand everyone gets buffs that dont need ie yorick... and one of ur newer champs are just trash... like you really need to work on ur balancing cause he is useless like i wish i could refund the char and skin cause i will never play him again after 1 match... you are officially benched forever

his winrate is high for people that know how to play him. 58-60% winrate for experienced playerbase. not bad. i think hes in a good spot. hes just not flashy to be played a lot.

I play a lot of Aurelion. I agree he needs buffs, or at least small tweaks so he isn't beat to the floor so easily.

Basically if they're is any champ with a gap closer, his stars are half effective. Add cc to it and as an AurelionSol player you won't want to even activate your stars. When the stars are small they do hardly any dmg. Almost every spell thrown at him puts his stars in this state, and the second or so they are interrupted he's doing no dmg. He has no escape either. The E is a joke really. the enemy can see it when its placed wrong, it has a long cd, and you can't use it to get away without "building up ms".

If his E could short cast for a jump distance, he'd be awesome. Even better if it has some sort of dmg passive

If his big star spell can be so easily canceled (which is is dmg in kit and utility) then either give it no cd so you can recast it after they shrink it (like karthus) or make the small stars do as much dmg as the bigger stars so that an enemy can't just murder him in 2 shots without at least risking something

Yea CC is his counter like 99% of all the other champions. If his stars didn't stop when he is CCed he would constantly be attacking people and his stars do a lot of damage so...why would you want this??

the differnece is the stars only do damage at the edge of the aoe, its not like a constant sunfire cape or swain ult...... so who cares

If his stars keep going when he's cced then it's overpowered. He deserves to not do constant damage for a couple seconds. Let's say you're an ADC and aurelion builds tons of damage, one of those stars is going to take out like 1/5 of your health. Yea but you can dodge them right? Especially in a teamfight you can definitely dodge the zoning that those stars presence gives. He's already a great roamer and a lane bully with a giant stun that's you can only dodge with flash so why shouldn't he be weak to CC?

again they only do damage at the edge of the stars. go inside or run away, i dont see people complaining about swain using hourglass or mordkeiser using ga and still having the summon on his ult?

Unless your champion has alot of walkspeed, you can almost never walk straight to him without getting hit by 1 star. If you go close you're going to get stunned by a Q and then more stars are going to hit you.

He's a champion whose ability to participate in a teamfight is affected by CC? What is this madness? Think about the other option: his stars aren't affected by CC. Crowd controlling him is now essentially pointless, since it doesn't change his damage output.

It has always been like this. What's changed some patches ago is that he got to wait more to reactivate his W after having it interrupted and it also got base CD increased.

FishlordAug 26, 20161 votes

Yeah, I kind of agree to an extent. If you silence Aurelion in a team fight it's pretty much gg since it takes him so like 4-5 seconds to activate his w which is crucial for his kit, it's his only damage really.

So Aurelion was placed into a meta he cannot hope to contend with. He is a low-mid range mage with an absolute minimum range. When you look at that in respect to the current meta, he is hopelessly outmatched and out of place. There are a lot of champions that are popular in the meta in general that will stomp him once they reach lvl 3 or 6. Zed Diana Kassadin Akali Fizz Talon Ekko Leblanc Why they nerfed him as hard as they did is a bit beyond me though.

Its what keeps him balanced

anyways riot has plans to change aurelion sol around in the not so far but not so near future

XilixerAug 27, 20161 votes

he is still pretty strong if you play him properly. remember he is a mage so he isnt suppose to go in. thunderlords is awesome on him as his stars proc it. item 3116 is handy as stars proc it. Eh, ill just say that his stars proc alot of on hit affects.
