Aurelion sol counter?

Bultz··2 votes·7,610 views

can we please do something to balance the countering of Aurelion sol. I played a game yesterday were i went 27/7(their mid was bad and i got fed) in a game when i was at 20 kills a xin who had 3 kill and 2 items came in and just purely rekted me. I didn't have any chance he dashed on me and because xin is a broken ass champion he just killed me with speed. I'm not saying he shouldn't counter, I'm saying if I'm 20/7 and hes 3/7 there really should be a difference.And it wasn't like i was playing badly, i was 20/7 so i was doing pretty well considering i had been getting rekt in previous games trying to learn Aurelion Sol. I am finally much better at him.But anyways, If Xin went 20/7 and his counter(if he even has one) went 3/7 their not coming back from that.

On top of that can we nerf speed champions in general, champions who only build speed items and just destroy, its so OP. Mainly Xin and trynd. I've played like four games recently with them and their soo over powered, and i don't mean overpowered for Aurelion Sol, i mean in general. I had a trynd on my team and he rofl stomped the other team. it was so broken in general.

You should have used R to knock him back, used better positioning, been more aware, or warded more.

However the situation, its working as intended. In his face is literally his weakness. Sounds fine to me.

R is okay, but you don't always have your ultimate. In this case I did he him, he flashed and just dived me again and took me out. It's his weakness yes, but if a 27/7 player is being taken by a 3/7 player, it is wrong.

Fed =/= Tanky. What the hell were your items? At 27/7, you better have had Rod of Ages, a Rylai's Scepter, and maybe a Zhonya at least. If you didn't, then you were squishy as fuck and deserved to die. Also, if he burned a flash to get to you, then why the hell didn't you burn a flash to get away from him? Don't you know how to kite? Or were you so out of position that kiting wasn't possible? I keep thinking of what happened, and the only conclusion I have is that it was YOUR fault you got killed...

Aurelion Sol gets wrecked in 1v1 lane vs assassins, syndra, annie, I feel like he has too many counters. Malphite is a good counter as well, diving fighters like Xin, Wu Kong, etc.

His sustained damage is good, but it doesnt do as well vs heavy burst.

I get he's suppose to have counters, but champions like xin are so over powered. I have had other assassins, like yi, and easily outplayed them. But I think they need to buff aureliona defense m. From what I understand they nerfed it before release. I mean I understand the counter and if we are on ever ground okay, But 27/7 being killed without any sort of hope by a 3/7 is kind of broken.

oh I agree. I think his pool of "counter picks" is far too large atm. As it stands, I don't see him being a reliable mid laner, since almost ALL popular mid laners counter him in one way or another.

He will probably wind up being a niche pick for jungle/top/mid in that order.

Hes probably gonna get some buffs in the future. My guess.
