Aurelion E is far over gimped

So Aurelion E has so many negative effects, that it seems the only time its particularly useful is when you're jungling or the game is 25 minutes in and you just need to get somewhere faster.

I know its not supposed to be an amazing escape but it has such an overwhelming amount of negative sides to it that it should be usable as an escape

To sorta put it into perspective [active] It's just a increase in movement speed [active] Enemy team can see you over walls [active] you are locked to going in a single direction [active] If someone hits you it stops entirely [active] His passive+W is completely gone during this time and cant be reactivated till after the end animation of the E And on top of all of this, the passive only activates when moving in one direction, and if you even move to dodge a skill shot then you'll only get part of the speed boost. Making it useless in lane and hardly considered useful anywhere other than jungle since, if you're making such an effort to move in one direction, you'll probably just use your E active to get there

I just think that one or two of these negative aspects of his E should be removed or lessened

I mean I'm willing to throw my salt away when it comes to the fact that a champion based on MAKING STARS has a bland kit that doesn't at all involve black holes or any of the other extremely cool things about stars, BUT AT LEAST LET THE DARN DRAGON FLY!

Well, in defense of the lack of stars with E, if they were active, you'd get minion and jungle aggro that would instantly end it should one shoot you.

To be fair his E is a really powerful tool and not haivng such drawbacks would make him "strategically" OP. Let me list some advantages

  • quite easy to charge up
  • good movement speed passive
  • back-in-lane tool
  • give expanded vision on your trail passing over walls

All of them are underhestimated boons which can give your team a good advantage. It's nor easy nor straightforwardly exploitable but once you get a good grip of it you'll be a major factor in a match, fed or not.
