Aurelion Sol Mini Rework Idea

Riot said they recently scrapped their progress on his mini rework and it got me thinking. In my opinion there's really nothing wrong with Sol but I guess that's why I'm not a designer. But anyway, here's my proposal on how to make Aurelion more interesting to play.

THE PASSIVE: Center of the Universe is now W's passive. Instead, Comet of Legend is his "new" passive but it can only travel a fixed distance (like his e now, it'll scale with level). After moving the fixed distance it goes on cooldown. Any damage NOW INCLUDING minions will immediately cancel his passive and put it on cooldown too. The idea is that it's more thematic to his lore, because star dragons live by their own beautiful rules.

THE NEW E: I had been thinking of his (classic) recall as inspiration for this one. The part where he opens up the black hole/portal. What if that was his new E? It can be called Gravity Well or something like that. the Gravity Well gradually PULLS IN all enemies in a cone in front of it and slows them. Enemies that get pulled to the center get stunned for .75. This ability does NO damage, it's pure utility. Aurelion will summon the gravity well ahead of him and it'll pull enemies out of his face. You can even recycle the animation where he makes the portal bigger (the hand swipe thing he does in a kinda upward diagonal motion) to save development time. It would fit so perfectly. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dAJDYXZlhxQ/Vt9Qyl2-ELI/AAAAAAAAMDs/DdWR6wovpNs/s640/asrecall.jpg

Mixed feelings

I like the idea of transitioning his passive to a passive W and make his current E his passive. But I don't like the new E and I feel it not in theme with him, gravity is just a property of massive corpses and doesn't have much to do with star forging. I also am pretty sure that what Aurelion Sol crafts is a wormhole :P

He doesn't need changes. He's fine as is.

I think they are looking into changing his passive and W, because its really wonky to play with.
