Champion Reveal: Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger

Well, gameplay wise, he seems pretty unique, he's not anything over the top, but, I can see him being really fun, and, he's probably gonna be pretty good, though I feel like this current meta doesn't suit him that well. Lore wise, though, the guy's god damned passive is The Center of the Universe. I'll leave it at that.

Quick edit, I think I was maybe wrong, it seems like the meta may suit him since he does have quite a disengage.

Spin to win 3.0

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20163 votes

Aaaaaaaand...

Yes I'm going to main him. Seems like he is both chalenging and rewarding.

IggletMar 8, 20161 votes

Hopefully the assassins/bruiser meta will cool down by the time he gets out, though I would say that he and the Taric Taric rework, which is probs also coming in the next patch, will change the meta quite a bit.

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

If they release them both I'm going to be really fought between them xD

Btw, it all comes to if E can only travel to max range and AP ratios. His orbs right now might be a living hell for enemies expecially in teamfights, plus he got a rather easy to land stun and considering his ultimate skill it might have a rather short CD.

E moves to it's maximum distance inherently but move commands cancel it to just wherever you are

I've never been this excited for a new champion.

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

Tbh Kindred trailer and story got me some goose bumps.

But this.. it's fcking majestic!

Malicious MetalMar 8, 20161 votes

Good thing I have PBE, I'm going to get a head start!

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

Hehe, good for you :) I'll patiently (not so much) wait for live :P

Malicious MetalMar 8, 20161 votes

Joke's on me. He'll be instalocked or banned every game T_T

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

Good luck for that xD

HE'S AWESOMEEEEEEEEE!

semi-disappointed he doesn't have wings

BUT AWESOME. Just the appearance itself and the abilities, and the VO, man everythings perfect (or almost :P)

IggletMar 8, 20162 votes

I think wings wouldn't fit the theme.

therealdragonMar 8, 20161 votes

I think wings wouldn't fit the theme.

tbh neither do I. It IS still an AWESOME dragon, was just more than half-expecting a dragon with wings. But nonetheless the dragon they made was SPECTACULAR. A space dragon that can fly across the map and uses his powers of stars to damage the enemy. Also has a star breath attack lol. AMAZING

IggletMar 8, 20161 votes

Exactly, mate.

resumedMar 8, 20161 votes

where would he fit in?

top/mid imo

IggletMar 8, 20162 votes

Mid would be my favorite choice.

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

Mid and some interesting poke/support pairs.

Meep ManMar 8, 20161 votes

Depends on how his base stats are really. If he is on the tankier side, I say Top. If he isn't, I say Middle.

MerxamersMar 8, 20161 votes

You know, with the great DoT passive and his 'get out of base quickly' E, he could be a pretty dang strong jungler. I'd actually expect to see him played overwhelmingly in the jungle, rather than mid lane.

IggletMar 8, 20161 votes

Dunno, maybe he is a bit too squishy for it to work? Though it was said that he is pretty tanky. Hm, we'll have to wait and see the numbers.

SpecterVonBarenMar 8, 20161 votes

He might have very good sustain with his passive and Hunter's Talisman so long as he can keep the monsters in the correct range.

Meep ManMar 8, 20162 votes

I think this will be his main issue in the Jungle. If it turns out monsters want to be inside his little star ring and not take damage, his clear time will be god awful.

Raiku KawisaMar 9, 20161 votes

I've tested this. His clears are rather strong. Maintaining the creeps within the ring is a little challenging, but your AoE stun makes making sure they dont move pretty ez. 6 second cooldown I think it was.

Also, clearing with the small ring is stupid ez, its trying to use the Outer Limit that takes effort. Normally I start a camp by letting a Q detonate at max range and then hold out the stars until they are not stunned and then pull them back.

MhihnjMar 9, 20161 votes

an ap off tank bruiser. Sounds good

MunchCrunchLunchMar 8, 20161 votes

well hes a lot simpler that i expected. the last few champs had a little to much text hidden in their passives/active abilities. but you never know. visually and sounds are impressive.

IggletMar 8, 20161 votes

I like the fact that he is simple, it's a nice change, though some spells seem overloaded.

Meep ManMar 8, 20161 votes

I LOVE the sounds his stars make when colliding with someone. The short PING sound they make just spells out satisfying to me, especially if they will be hitting multiple units constantly. It will almost be like playing a song... kind of chaotically, but a song none the less.

OelykMar 8, 20161 votes

PSA. He cant use his comet when fighting, he has to have stacks of escape(Or something simularly named) to use his comet. so nothing besides his shout and his stun. but his kit synergy is SOOOO GOOOOD. His q and e and his w and r are gonna be gold

just imagine, wqr stun then blop blop blop.

BladeSteelMar 8, 20161 votes

The thing i don't like is what riot said...2 things...

"Most of his damage comes from his passive" I'm thinking, alright that sounds good, a tanky mage, that would work and be more unique.
"he needs a good frontline to stop people from getting to him"....so wait...his passive is so close to him...as are all his ablilities...so how does he do damage in teamfights then. it doesnt' seem like he has that much range, so if he's behind the frontline, how does his passive "the thing that does the most damage in his kit" do damage.....

IggletMar 8, 20161 votes

We'll see. If he's weak, he's gonna get buffed. If he's strong, he's gonna get nerfed.

MhihnjMar 9, 20161 votes

If he is too strong then... wait, with graves around....

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

Remember that his W enlarges its range and damage by quite a bit.

And even if you build HP/AP you don't have the tools to counter a heavy dive but that doesn't mean you won't be able to build chances to survive.

BladeSteelMar 8, 20161 votes

Yes but they made it sound like he needs a frontline like xerath/lux..when he doesn't have the range. If he's more like swain, then why would they say that he needs a good frontline?

Stars ShaperMar 8, 20161 votes

His build will be totally different from theirs, I can already see that so he will surely be tanker than them. He also got more point blank CCs and survival tools compared to Xerath expecially. I also think that his power in teamfights (them orbs) will make them short as hell. Imagine joining a teamfight with your E+Q combo, use R and then retreating while activating your W.
