Aurelion soul is contradicated in purpose of design

it pains me to see what a champion who i thought had such great potential, is failing at what he was advertised to do.. Advertised at what ?? well in the coming weeks of his release we were getting the dragon who can fly over things and gank lanes.. But hes not even successful at doing so , activating your E and landing your Q is a just a dream scenario in most cases since you can side step the Q easily and the effort your putting in for a roaming kill ?? compared to others Akali Diana Katarina ? His kit spins off in like 4 different directions and no matter what lane you put him in he doesn't appear to be a great factor in a won game. This causes the problem with him, since the kit is unable to distinguish itself and give AurelionSol a proper identity in league of legends.

Contradiction in design ?? YES what exactly is he ? DPS ? then why does he have a ult that syncs better with a burst champion?? why give him so much potential roaming when he cannot execute the synergy most jg's give at ganking?? if he cannot execute this, he is not an assassin either .. As he is right now the closest thing i can see him becoming in direction of design is a AP/support . Why? well on the lighter side when your team groups nicely with him, his orbiting stars actually shine light for your team and becomes a good defensive front. Support seems to be his true calling. Imagine a dragon that can carry his teammates in flight into battle ! now that to me makes more sense. On a ending note from what i heard Morgana was intended to be a MID who become a support. Just to give an example of a champion not going in the intended direction.

Support would be pretty bad unless they did some changes to his kit, particularly his Celestial Expansion, as using it as a zoning tool would result in pushing waves (and as sustained dps goes, thats his best attack if you can manage it right) Hes not good as a support cause his skills are actually fairly short range and somewhat dodgeable. You cant hide in bushes cause your passive shows up (and unless you can use it to harass without revealing you, then so much for that).

If they want to give him an identity, make him a sustain dps mage with his Celestial Expansion. Make it so CDR speeds up the rotation. Make his travel skill not end on the first bit of dmg that hits him, but the farther you travel, the more hits you need to take before being grounded.
