Why Aurelion has the biggest win rates atm

Hi, I'm a mid main and while I was looking on op.gg for new champions to buy, I went on the win rate section and then I saw that Aurelion was the best midlaner atm. So i'd like to ask is it because he's just really good atm or the page isn't refreshed because Aurelion has been at the top since the start of this season almost. And I'd like to know if he's a good champion to buy and why.

Thank you for answering

P-S: Sorry for my bad english :'(

Aurelion is extremely hard to learn. A decent aurelion can win lane, but a good one is a monster will bring that lead to all 3 lanes because he's so good at roaming. His strengths are of course, roaming, kiting, and teamfighting since you can just sit in the middle of your team with your stars around your allies "protecting" and not letting anyone in because of Rylai's. His weaknesses are assassins since they can just go through your stars with mobility and you can't do anything about it, and divers like J4 and Vi. You should buy him if you're serious about spamming 100+ games on him.

It's because he has a group of extremely dedicated aurelion sol mains who use his E and E passive to roam like a god and destroy bot/top with ganks. He's also very effective in team fights because of his AOE damage.

He has a very low playrate and generally low play rate correlates with high win rate.

As a Mastery 7 A-sol I'll give my insight:

Ofc the small playrate pumps it up a bit especially because while his weaknesses are hellish clear (dive inside the stars = dead dragon, cc chain = no stars = dead dragon) ppl are not used to deal against him.

But overall he is a strong character, his main strenghts are teamfights and roam power with which he can feed his team and himself. I also noticed a great increasing in start game invades which are an enormous mistake against an Aurelion Sol because if you don't kill him he can just pop his stars and hit each and every1 of the attackers.

His main build consists of item 3030 + item 3116 that make him able to kite to death anything caught with mobility CDs down.

Because he's broken. I'd permaban him if he was more popular. The fact that Huhi goes from garbage mid to god tier mid just from playing this champion is all the evidence you need that it's broken.
