Sylas and Aurelion Sol

Im surprised noone talks about him, but he is one of the weakest champ in the game with 44,5% winrate at plat+.

I got just a bit mad, since i bought him and adc can basicly 2 shoot him if he builds ap.

Other than that ive bought Aurelion Sol aswell and his W feels annoying. You cast it for 3 second. Just to be frank it takes 1 second just position yourself at range when it deals damage... Then 2 sec expire and you need move again. Keep repeating this process until you got bored with this champ (i guess 1 game). I mean an AI might keep the pace with the big range-low range switches every 3 seconds, but a human wont find it pleasant. And i just saw in videos it was a toggleable skill in older version which makes sense.

I dont do the math but im pretty sure if i toggle this skill and moving 100% accurate and hit the opponent with every stars it deals less damage than a malphite Q. (even if i mentioned 1 sec takes just position yourself so effectivily 2 sec damage) So why would anyone pick this champ position like crazy every 3 second without any real reward?

The W change dumpstered Aurelion, I don't expect anyone to play him until there's a reversion/rework.

Sylas is a failed champion simply because Riot refuses to make AP bruiser itemisation a thing. Sylas, Diana etc. do not have itemisation for their classes and basically build glass cannon and try and oneshot you.

Aurelion Sol is probably one of the most (if not) the dullest champion in the game for most people (hence why his pick rate is so damn low). Unless you actually like his playstyle there really isn't that much of a point to playing him (unless he's giga broken).

AurelionSol god dumstered and seeing as Riot has demonstrated that they hate his guts (as one can see by the history of Sol. announced him back in 2013 refused to release till 3 years later and only because people endlessly persisted in pestering Riot over it. Once out they only ever gave him 1 other skin besides the release skin that all champions get. then after players start figuring out his kit and enjoying him. Dumbster his entire kit.) don't expect a fix any time soon.

Aurelion is a champ that was played only by the most dedicated fans. Then Riot wanted to make him more popular by making him bursty (against the mains' concerns for it not to happen).

So now instead of the DoT roamer that Aurelion was, he's just a shitty burst mage that is still just as unpopular. Doesn't help that instead of making champions popular by giving them skins or making the meta more flexible instead of it being a 1 shot convention.

It really sucks tbh... I have a friend that I play with often that is an aurelion main with almost 1 mil mastery points and he tried hard to help stop the rework.
