You are nerfing Aurelion Sol more then buffing him

I have played 700~ games of Aurelion sol in ranked at least and from those games i rarely ever need the extra 10 seconds off my ult rather the 1% nerf on celerity movement speed is in my opinion a more drastic change. This nerf will most likely drop Asol's winrate even harder. One of the reasons why sol is failing in this meta is because phase rush was nothing like stormraiders and Sol can no longer compete with champions like ahri and zed and is out maneuvered easily.

A easy way to fix these problems would be to buff Phase rush, give it slow resistance and an increased duration to better position ones-self. Another large problem aside from the runes is Aurelion sol, unless fed is a DOT champion and with the burst meta he suffers, an increased Q stun duration or more damage on W would bring Sol back to his former glory.

Sincerely a worried Sol main rito please help my champion.

Edit:Just to show the drastic change of the "Keystone"

Phase rush Applying 3 stacks to a target within a 3 second period grants you 15% - 40% (based on level) movement speed for 3 seconds.

Stormraider's Surge Dealing 30% of a champion's maximum health within 2.5 seconds grants you 40% bonus movement speed and 75% Slow Resist for 3 seconds.

Huge difference, losing the 75% slow resistance and 25% movement speed dropped his winrate 4% :(.

He wouldn't struggle against hypermoble champions so much, if riot would give him some quality of life buffs, like letting him reactivate his Q to stun enemies in melee range.

Yeah the 4% winrate change just shows how garbage the new phase rush really is. Source http://champion.gg/champion/AurelionSol/Middle?league=

Since release he has been riddled with nerfs lol, so sad tbh even when buffed he gets nerfed in the same breath. Ive played atleast 1500 sol games all together and this patch alone makes it very hard to play him correctly mana flow band is a joke , no mr or armor early and if u go into resolve u relegate your self to a support tht does decent damage, and even when u go into sorcery u cannot compete with most other mids. And now they are nerfing his kite/chase potential [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I feel that an even better buff would be to make his stars go around him even faster when he uses his W at higher ranks while also reducing the cooldown of reactivating

I 2 am an Auralion Sol, main (secondarie really since my Amumu baby) --- ---- And I made a post that I forsaw this drastic decline in win rate he needs to have his W nerfs reverted to be somewhat suitable to compete in this day an age, the amount of nerfs Auralion has gotten is harsh combine with the fact he has a S H it ton of easy to exploit weaknesses please...

What do you mean by Sol not being able to compete with Ahri? Sol can easily destroy Ahri and contribute WAY MORE than Ahri in teamfight.

Except Celerity on Asol becomes meaningless when it makes other champions that are already hyper mobile even more oppressive for him to face. Do people forget that champions like Ahri, Fizz, and fleet footwork users have been taking celerity to?

If they are changing celerity it's also an indication that they are testing changes to Phase Rush as well. Celerity was originally supposed to be 3% until they changed Phase Rush.

I think it's more that the meta is really bad for Sol, rather than the champ. If you look at his winrate, it jumped off a cliff this preseason. While runes could play a role in it, I really think he's just bad in the meta.

At least give it a bit more time

I cant find the changes on the PBE for sol anywhere.
