Now before you start blabbing about they cannot be compared, yes they can. They both do the same thing to some extent.

Provide hard CC in teamfights
Give Global Pressure
They both have a sort of sustain damage playstyle

Only differences is TF can deal good damage to structures while aurelion has massive amounts of AoE damage. Also TF gives vision of enemies and can tele instantly while Sol travels the map and can be obstructed (he can still place wards while in flight tho). However Sol's stun is aoe and he can charge it into a big one and

So who you consider is better at this roaming, hard CC mage niche?

Sustain damage for TF? No. He doesn't "lane" with his opponent midlaner beyond the first 1-2 backs. He wave clears and then roams. Outside of midlane, he's bursty as hell. His entire kill potential is based around one single massive on-hit release of several procs (lich bane, E passive, yellow card), coupled with a single Q. He is an assassin/splitpush above all with a useful ranged for sieging.

Aurelion's aoe stun can be dodged easily, and in this mobility meta, the squishy champions vulnerable to stuns will generally only get hit if they've been slowed by something else, or if they're running away and sidestepping means death. Whereas TF's single-target stun is based on being in AA range, which can be achieved through ulting or flashing. It's also not a dodgeable skillshot. If the enemy flashes but you AA beforehand, the yellow card will follow them to their flashed destination. It's generally easier to stun whoever needs to be stunned with Twisted if you position him correctly.

As far as ganks go, again Twisted has the edge because of his superior burst, and the fact that his ult/stun combo is very easy to pull off in the right hands.

I would go TF every time over Aurelion mid. Can't say much about Aurelion's jungle though.
