Sol feels so weak and underpowered right now. Worse than ever before.Problem is, his rework removed nearly all the counterplay Sol had, engage and hard cc. With all his movement speed buffs even if you get on top of him he'll just run away. What the rework accomplished: Increasing his pickrate at first (and then decerasing it so it's even lower than pre-rework), making more than half of his old mains quit the champ and in many cases the game, removing all counterplay from the champion, and removing all fun in the champion. While the Teemo and Wukong reworks have had tons of time on pbe, have had lots of communication between rioters and players, Sol's rework was plopped on pbe, they didn't listen to ANY feedback, and he was on the pbe for like 2 weeks before instantly shipping to live, and the only change they made was nerfing his E cooldown which was busted. Riot just hates this champion.
Oh believe me I am aware of the state of sol, and I feel your pain.
From what I understand, I will put this in a more metaphorical way. Basically every champion has a wallet full of "money". The way it works is, each ability including passive(s), cost "money" to be a thing. So naturally, your Q may be the cheapest cost, and your R cost the most. In aurelion sol's case, his E cost him MORE than his own R, Q, and W combined. Basically it is seen as the "big cost" of his abilities and giving him more is tantamount to saying he needs a bigger wallet. Does that make sense? Basically unless E finally goes(which it should), he won't get any real meaningful buffs.
