Aurelion Sol ability rework feels.... horrible. I'm not going to play him anymore :(

FezzesnPond·Aug 29, 2019·53 votes·14,840 views

I logged in just to make a post, which I never do, because this is THAT BAD and I need to be vocal about it.

I have 100k+ points on sol. I know I'm not the best sol player, but I used to play him a lot, and have picked him up again recently. He was a lot of fun to play, and I enjoyed the challenge that came with his complex abilities. I think I'm going to have to stop playing him now; he is just not fun to play with this rework. The rework on him changes his entire gameplay, and takes away elements I really liked about him. For example:

I can no longer maintain harassment or farm properly on W because the stars change speed and it automatically deactivates after 3s (this is INFURIATING). I also rely on the stars' spin speed for my positioning, but now it doesn't even matter because I can't align/time myself properly anymore.
I can no longer catch up to enemies running away with passive E movement speed.

Idc if you don't revert him back completely, but PLEASE revert at least these 2 points.

his W is too expensive.

I personally am really disappointed by the mini rework. The New E is great, and his ult is still really fun, but his identity as a really consistent control mage is gone now that his burst is more important.

Nearly every rework ruins the champion for the people that already played them.

Welcome to the club, i stopped playing Rengar Mordekaiser after the reworks, both 300k+ mastery.

Pre rework mord was a meme tho...

New ones way more fun. And only half as buggy.

DahaakaAug 29, 20193 votes

seems u didnt rly play the old morde. New one has only the "Mordekaiser" name on it and thats all. He is not fun for an old morde main, i am not going to explain bcz if u are "SURE" that new is better you wont understand.

Hey i'm with you, Old morde was way more fun than the new one. It also seemed a bit more interactive, ill never play the new morde ever again but that's just my opinion.

DahaakaAug 29, 20192 votes

Thanks for understanding! Old one was 100% very low for the current state of the game (mobility and cc), but still there were tons of interesting ways to play him, even those 200+ bugs were PART of the gameplay that most of mains used.

And the current mord... you either go the classic juggernaut build and doing the same thing over and over again, game by game or just full ap smashing build with Q(which is not effective if you want to win), which makes him monotonous and boring.

Honestly i don't remember a rework of a champion, where his mainers would APPROVE. Seems it's a talent to fk up every time

Warwick every WW main I talked to loves his rework Pantheon Most agree his numbers are too low, but they seem to enjoy the new kit in the panth main discord I am in. The biggest complaint I see is the Ult takes too long to cast and his damage is low after early game (though his damage output is slightly better than J4 in practice tool, and is more reliable)

DahaakaAug 29, 20191 votes

WW is also nice can't say anything, only the sound of W, the fear when you hear it "fk fk fk how close is he, is there time to recall??" is super entertaining. I just didn't mention him because i loved the old one way too much, especially with ap build, the clunky moves and animations:)

Don't know about Pant, he seems fun, but we can say something after some buffs. He loses pretty much every game, so its hard to say is that the kit's problem or the numbers.

SH AzykanAug 30, 20191 votes

his winrate has gone up significantly with the small buff he got (execute on tap Q is really nice) I do think his ratios need to be higher but his kit is nice

Kendren1Aug 30, 20191 votes

Lol, u disagree so u just tell me what i have played? Interesting. Ive pretty much played every league champ except qiyana. Old mord was a grief pick at any time he wasnt broken because of how flawed his champ design was.

SukishooAug 29, 20192 votes

Rengar was reverted... He's the way he should be.

Morde was a joke before. His rework is so much better.

DahaakaAug 29, 20193 votes

i wasn't talking about Q, but passive W and R, but still i am not that disappointed as in mord. Dude as an old morde main(and a lot of other ppl like me that i have asked) dont like the new one, he is unfun, nothing related to the new, the best part is only the look, voice and sounds.

Just like in comment above i am not going to explain that.

I stopped playing Eve 850k+ mastery

DahaakaAug 29, 20191 votes

u mean u got 850+ with the old eve?

ThunderneedleAug 29, 20193 votes

yes, because this was a bitch and cry about rito champ reworks thread. So I'm still spilling salt over the butchery of eve. she's not actually a stealth champ, her visibility range is slightly wider than the lane. Twitch visibilitty range is 400. and they crippled her movespeed and ruined her build options. You used to have mixed damage on eve that you could mix and match depending on your team or the items of the patch.

DahaakaAug 29, 20191 votes

exactly, a lot of ppl playing playing, mastering, having A LOT OF FUN with a certain champ, and then all of a sudden that champ is getting rework noone asked for, and ofc hate from community.

I didn't main nunu, but he is the only successful rework for me personally, i really like the new nunu. Even tho i used to have fun with 1000 ap oneshot with E.

Semaj3xt4hAug 29, 20194 votes

I hated and still hate alot of the new reworks (Kayle, sion, yorick, galio, aatrox, morde) so I feel your pain.... I mean in the case of sion/galio, I don't mind playing them but hes just not even close to the same champion and I miss their old kits....

Atleast you get to keep a huge portion of his kit, on a side note I think he looks more fun an engaging to me but I play ARAM only and in this burst meta he just didn't offer much. He would get dog piled and killed quickly unless you had 30 ping and can ult a rengar mid leap or some ridiculous reaction speed, that or he'd need some huge peel/turtle team mates like trundle.

EDIT: I've just accepted the fact that they will rework champions just to stir the pot, people who liked em will hate em and vice versa, inevitably getting people to buy new skins... as they say, destruction is a form of creation.

ThunderDragonLWAug 31, 20191 votes

Do they rly ave to baance a champ for ARAM ?

KlydeFrogAug 29, 20192 votes

Umm what are you talking about. He actually does more damage due to the rotation of passive and you get a free phase rush off his w.

Free phase rush to run away, because that's the only thing you can do when your Q and W are on cd. [sg-miss-fortune]

Seriously though, his reliable damage is now gone. In addition to this, the enjoyment of that consistency is gone.
I'll give it a chance, but I feel like I'll be dropping him. Oh well, who cares I guess.

Basically he stopped being a DPS mage and is now a Burst mage, that's the whole problem every single one of you is complaining about.
