Pretty sure Aurelion evolved from the concept of Ao Shin and Ao Shin is no longer a thing.

Ao Shin was the original concept. He has evolved into what is currently known as Aurelion Sol.

To the OP, what I think we can imply though since Ao Shin was the original concept, this will NOT be a half, but a WHOLE dragon.

Most likely after Taric VU.

I'm praying for a beautiful Taric rework. And I mean beautiful. The man is gorgeous- and he needs to stay sexy. More gems- more shine. Tank city. All the fun of old Taric, made a little more viable.

I'm pretty hyped too, especially on how his kit will turn out.

Maybe a bit obnoxious to deal with in solo lanes, but again that's just a thing among supports.

Have they announced his new kit?? Have I missed the news!

The only things we know is that he will still heal, tank, can fulfill places outside botlane, and be fabulous.

RiotReprotir (or however his name is spelt) dropped several hints of it on the forums here and there, but we still have to wait for a while.

It's worth the wait... hopefully.

... You know only that the champion is a dragon. On what grounds could you say that there's a champ "exactly" like that anywhere?

did you even read the description? storm dragon.... right... no similarity at all

Did you read the final paragraph? It reads like they ditched the Storm Dragon concept.

So in the end, while we’re sorry to have hyped up the idea of a serpentine, storm-wielding dragon for so long, we’re still very excited to deliver a dragon champion this year that we hope you’ll love.

Aurelion Sol’s got some big shoes (claws?) to fill, but we still like surprises so stay tuned - any of our next few champions could be him!

It's pretty clear that they don't know yet, that there could be a champion or two before them.
