FYI: Riot is removing 20% of Aurelion Sol's main source of damage next patch

CORRECTION: IT IS A 20% NERF TO THE W ABILITY BUT ONLY A 6.7% NERF TO THE DAMAGE OF THAT ABILITY (my bad).

Change: Celestial Expansion (W) damage bonus to Center of the Universe (P) is going from 50% >>> 40%.

Despite seeing virtually no professional play and very little play in almost every division, someone has decided that Aurelion Sol needs to lose some of his Celestial Expansion (W) damage. I can understand a small nerf for a champion that is standing out above others for their intended role but Aurelion Sol barely sees any play as it is.

This is taking a hatchet to do a job that a scalpel should be doing. These are the kinds of ridiculous balance change decisions that are giving us this frustrating meta and causing people to become fatigued with League in general.

STOP THIS!

EDIT: My math was off. Posui Gart is correct it is a combined 6.7% total damage nerf. My point still stands though about Riot making large balance changes on really bad data and it affecting the enjoyment people are getting out of this game. Look at the sudden hotfixes to Yuumi and Akali after butchering Akali less than an day before and the Yuumi 'buffs' actually being more akin to nerfs.

Because of all the problem champions, it's clearly A-Sol that needed a nerf.

50%->40% of BONUS damage is not a 20% nerf, its a 7% nerf

Aurelion Sol needs to be reverted to his old abilities. This would please all us Aurelion Sol mains and boost his play rate. The only way for this to happen is if we let Riot know how we feel in a calm and respectful manner.
