Hi again!

My previous point got filled with comments that made me curious about what you guys who think the new Aurelion is a good change. Personally I heavily dislike it and I am not playing anymore, but I want to hear you guys out!

How is it better and why is it better?

I appreciate every point of view, and prefer to keep it friendly :)

Nothing. He's been watered down and his identity stripped away.

His roams are stronger because of the increased distance on E and more burst damage on W, and a less easy to dodge Q. He's no longer hard countered by every form of CC. He still has good waveclear if you're positioning properly and hitting most/all of a wave with your W. Building early damage feels better, as a sol has never and hopefully will never scale well. He has more mobility overall because of the movespeed given by W, which at max rank, only has a 2s CD.

His playstyle changed a bit, but he kept his core identity as a roaming mage. If you were good with old a sol, you should still be good with the new one. All of the skills you developed, aiming q, dancing back and forth to hit your stars, knowing when to roam, etc etc all still transfer to how he's played now.
