refund of aurelion sol
So I just got a refund for aurelion sol and here's why. He is a really cool looking champs. I love his design. i love the idea of this champ, and I love his cynical humor. HOWEVER, he is incredibly complex to play. His swirling stars are fairly ineffective. Maybe you might land them twice before the enemy gets out of the way. Sometimes you can push them around a little, but so many champs are either ranged or have gap closers that this really isn't that effective. Once they close on aurelion he is mostly screwed unless he can flash or has his ult up which SOMETIMES saves him. His flight is pretty awesome and so is his ult, but they have long cool downs. Relying on his stars is just no viable. they take too long to cause serious damage. His Q is slow and pretty hard to land. It can be dodged relatively easily unless he expands it, which takes so long the enmy is usually running away by then. The ONLy way aurelion really is threatening is if he gets the drop on the enemy, which is hard since he has stars that circle him and cant be hidden. It is true he can push certain champs out of lane, especially adc on bot. But actually securing a kill is HARD! Since after the initial damage with the stars he doesn't really have a follow up. If he can land his ult maybe he can get a kill, but most likely its going to push the enemy away and they will take off cause the slow doesn't really last long enough to be scary. Over all this champion feels cumbersome to play and really is only effective if he manages to get into a good position, but that could be any champ. He isn't really special in that regard. basically all he has going for him is some early push that is irritating, some decent farm capability, he looks cool, and occasionally can win team fights if everything is timed perfectly. he just came out and already feels really weak compared to other champions. He is REALLY effective in bot games because the bots aren't smart enough to get out of his stars or close on you.
