So... Is Aurelion meant to be the worst-feeling champion to play in the game?
He has low scalings, easily dodged abilities, long cooldowns, and high mana costs. Maybe I'm missing something, but I would personally rank Aurelion as the worst mid-laner of all potential mid-laners, cheese picks included.
"He's a good roamer!" Except his waveclear pre 300 ap is atrocious, and costs him way more mana than anybody else.
"Good sustained damage!" Yeah, if the fucking moon and sun align at precisely 11:38 A.M. you may land more than three stars before you're inevitably either outranged and one-shot or somebody moves inside your "Outer Limit" and you proceed to be useless.
And there are literally no more possible reasons to pick him.
Riot, when you make a champion have to be at an extremely specific range to work, then he should be fucking ridiculous at that range, not doing 200 damage every star. The only way Aurelion will ever be viable is if he's restored to the q+r one-shot.
