Not being able to self-peel without his ult was one of Aurelion's main weaknesses, directly removing one of his counterplays is going to have a humongous impact on his power level

just a heads up not to let the Vayne buff distract you from this guy becoming sleeper OP again
Warlord Rhinark3 votesOh no, muh melee champions can no longer jump on him at the early levels and waylay into him without repercussion.
Moody P2 votesjust another le epic mage outplay getting to be untouchable by melees :)
Bent Pixels3 votesHis biggest weakness is how hard he is to play. This will help him out a bit. Im all for this buff
Frontline Fury2 votesIsn't that a good thing? He's been practically unplayed for over a year due to the ridiculous cdr + mobility + burst meta.
Moody P2 votesaurelion sol was always a low-played power pick up until they shit on his base stats
this is very similar to what they did with urgot that made him so high-presence, removing a lot of his delays and counterplay to make him a stronger overall champion.
GFREEMEN1 votesHis Ult is still bad mechanically being Edge to Edge and having a .5s delay
Carteeeer2 votes"one of his main weaknesses" oh yeah you mean the weakness that makes it impossible to play him?
aurelion is dick tier and literally the sole reason of it is because he has no way of peeling, he is a close range mage yet his weakness is getting close it just doesn't work.
imo he is the best champion thematically and visually and it's great to see him getting some love and this is exactly what he needs
Moody P1 votesmage mains always up to their old tricks
Aurelion was strong A to S tier for almost his whole life until they nerfed his base stats and fucked up his itemization with the mage item rework, him actually having counterplay for melees never factored in to it

For his whole life? He was nerfed very shortly after being released, now hes dog shit who loses to almost everyone. Before they nerfed him he wasnt completely useless against melees but now after being shit on by riot he can't do anything. Melees have always been his counters but now it's more than a hard counter hes literally just another minion to melees.
Melees can jump on him knowing full well there wont be a single consequence from it, so with his kit forcing him to get close it absolutely makes sense for him to have some form of self peel to keep him from being blown up without a single way to fight against it.
I genuinely can't believe someone would think this is a bad idea, like there's no logic behind what you're saying.
-has to be close to do anything -dies because someones close to him

SithesisLord3 votesAurelion was strong A to S tier
Only when people put in the time and effort.
A first timer is going to do shit on Aurelion Sol, even if they are in Challenger.
xDogMeatx2 votes
needs some kind of self defense other than phase rush flash ult.
Stars Shaper1 votesIf they don't care about balance they should be not caring for every1's balance.
This is just a proof of them going that way.
Moody P1 votesi'm just informing boards of who to play for the next freelo ride after galio's nerfed
Poske1 votesAurelion sol has low popularity Mainly because he is a flying snake and not a fking dragon
Sol is already more on a strong side so any buff sounds funny That being said this might fix why some people hate playing this low popularity champ
Cant wait to face this AOE, DPS, CC GOD, BURST, WAVECLEAR LEGEND champ
