Aurelion Sol can feel Incredibly Helpless at Times

If someone is on top of you and your Ult is down then there is literally nothing you can do.

-Passive won't hit because they're too close -Q won't hit because of the delay -W won't work because it's actually putting your damage source even farther from the Target -E was deactivated because they hit you

I understand that balance-wise it may be fine, but I don't think there is a single other Champ who can feel so helpless even when all his basic abilities are up.

Thats the point though. Thats literally the whole point. Its a fair trade for having a basic ability that lets you traverse the entire map

Like I said balance-wise it's fine (sorta). It's just my god do you feel like shit if let's say an Udyr gets close enough. Any other champ in the game can at least USE their abilities (it may not get him off you but at least it feels like you are fighting back). On Aurelion you just go "shit, im dead now, might as well not even click my ability buttons".

Riot and a whole bunch of players disagree with you. That is why he is being gutted on the PBE.

Gotta say I really don't understand.

Then again, I would say he is a champ of great strengths and weaknesses, whose feeling in game is either overbearing or worthless (which I think is not a good design). If Aurelion is stacked on some kind of melee threat and you HAVE to run, he's insane strong, but if you don't fear him (IE: his teammates) there isn't anything he can do.

Main Problem comes from a 2 second stun which is too powerful if your teammates are semi competent.

Picture this: Aurelion Sol is 0/8 but he got 3 people stuned for 2 seconds(the stun is very easy to pull off since if you walk forward it wont dissapear), Aurelion's team proceeds to rape the people stuned for 2 seconds and win the game.

Forgot to say that the stun has also a super short cooldown. Which means that if you miss, it will be up ready again in 5 seconds.
