I really hate the Aurelion rework

My first game playing the rework I was already hoping the game would end so I wouldn't have to play him anymore. Maybe I could get used to him eventually but I just can't see myself playing him again anytime soon.

The new w just feels incredibly awkward and I really miss being able to dps. ASol used to be about staying in teamfights as long as possible and now he feels like a hit and run champ. Even late game with the low cd it just looks and feels stupid to have his stars constantly moving in and out. I really don't understand the need to make him a burst champ.

I also miss the passive movement speed on his e. I know it was removed to buff the active but for me the passive was one of my favorite parts of the champ.

Please riot revert the rework. I feel like he lost everything that made him fun and unique. I used to love playing him but now I may just give up on him completely.

Agreed, I think this is one of those cases they just need to scrap the rework and go back to the original. It pretty much failed on all their design goals and took away a really unique champion playstyle in favor of "just another burster".

Riot seems to not like when unique champions are successful even though they say every champion should bring a diff experience to the game lol. Not that.... anyone really plays Sol other than his few mains, but even his mains are starting to drop him for champions that just do his new overcrowded job better.

Scrap the rework or bring back his w toggle (nerf/change whatever you need to do to make this happen)

I agree. Normally, I don't feel the burn of patches too much and I think people tend to get way too huffy about them (or in general on boards about anything lol). But I was playing Sol today just casually and it was so awkward. My favorite part of Sol was being able to build up Rylais + some other situational item and laughing as I long-term killed with w. The fast 3 second thing feels terrible.
