Aurelion Sol needs a fix to deal with Melee

5050BS··3 votes·1,450 views

It was not this bad on the PBE (because players there are not playing champs they are good with) But now that Aurelion Sol is live his "Weakness" to Melee champs is so bad you can only win lane if the other player is a noob to melee champs

Not being able to stun at point blank range IS the problem. Its the only thing that needs to be changed so he can work to get away else there is LITERALLY NOTHING be can do about a melee champ.

How about we wait at least 3 patches before saying he is useless so Riot doesnt over buff a balanced champion and we have to deal with the second coming of Tahm Kench?

Over buff? Although I agree with that over-exaggeration, I feel he actually does need a buff. His delayed q responsiveness should act the same as Lux, Ziggs, or any champ who can double-click their abilities to have them go off instantly.

It would make sense, but if i had to guess, Riot tested that and found it made him too opressive against melees, since it is such a simple mechanic that you would expect on this kind of ability.

I definetly exagerated on purpose, but i do believe we should wait before deciding he is too weak, as his kit is extremely tricky.

Yes they tested it when the CD on it was 8s and less (because it scaled). They then changed it to 10s FLAT 2 weeks before release. They also moved his Hit box father back in his model and made it a bit smaller. Now melee minions never are in the inner ring and melee champs can stick to him (because they are ALL faster then him)

It also feels like they lessened the knockback on his ult from the PBE when it went live. I have 40k champ points with him on the PBE and a 50-52% win rate with him and since he is live I cant get even close to that. THey changed stuff when he went live it feels.

They make it able to be detonated at point blank range. Reduce the base size of it. Buff the rate at which it grows early on.

Done.

for a passive with a bs amount of dmage that is always a looming threat super large synergy with rylias crystal sceptre and that w range doing significantly more damage for what seems to be negligable mana cost. she already has her e and ult to deal with meeles e for kite and straight running and ult to disengage with q can stun when casted

he moves and he gains movement speed duh if you move away from his enemy he may not gain it all at once but he will gain it getting gradually faster hence kiteing
