Cut Aurelion a Break
Why do I feel like Riot is nerfing Aurelion into the ground while champs like Zed and Lucian are off the walls and are receiving no changes?
They already gave the big guy a nerf, now they are cutting down on his ult damage heavily. Like what? I keep seeing "counterplay" thrown around. What counterplay? Aurelion has such a low pick rate, almost every champ can shit on him easily. He relies heavily on his team. Anyone with CC can stop his stars and get in his face. Anyone with a dash or blink can get inside his stars and get in his face. All you have to do to counter him is get inside his stars, its not a difficult task. Anyone with CC or mobility, which is most champs, can do it. After that, you can shit on him all you want and he is running for tower. Pretty pathetic, considering he is supposed to be some giant ancient space dragon who was seen as a God.
To be honest, I feel that one of the only reasons Aurelion is hard to play is because he gets shat on so easily, but meanwhile there are champs that are incredibly strong right now who are receiving no nerfs.
Like what do you have against Aurelion? I have not seen him played, nobody does it, because you really can't unless you are God or your team really helps you out. You nerfed his damage, you're nerfing some of his utility, and now you are nerfing his ult. He could've been a great champ and I was so hyped when I learned he was finally coming out, and it feels like Riot is so afraid he might actually be strong that they continue to give him nerfs to the point where he can't be played anymore. His pick rate was a little over 1% last time I checked.
I still play him from time to time, but I am almost always countered. He is a champ I wanted to play a lot but he just gets picked on so easily. Why is he receiving such harsh punishment, but Zed and Lucian have not gotten anything? I've been hearing how horrible they have been in game. I ban Zed every chance I get.
Aurelion is barely picked anymore and you continue to nerf him yet champs that everyone is complain about are being ignored.
