I'm really not understanding the need for these proposed Aurelion Sol nerfs

Currently on the PBE, Aurelion Sol's W is losing 10% of its damage while activated. This seems like a pretty major nerf for reasons I really can't understand. Is it because the one-tricks are finding too much success with him? I have not seen a single Aurelion Sol in any of my games, in any of the pro games, and in so few challenger games that these nerfs seem excessive for no justifiable reason.

Are Riot planning on moving more power into his utility? I'm really just scratching my head here. I don't feel like he needs nerfs. If anything, he needs to be adjusted again to give people a reason to play him over other mages. These nerfs just give me and others fewer reasons to even try him out.

Because a very small % of players play him very well, while the majority using him are tantamount to cannon fodder.

Honestly I don't understand it either.

aren't you one of those who points to akali's pro pick/ban rate to justify her nerfs? asol is 56%+ currently in plat+ abusing conqueror on these kids. well shit even just theorycrafting conq sol in me head right now...it's pretty disgusting. iunno who thought of this thing.
