Just recorded it before custom games had to have multiple players (used fraps then turned it into a gif):

I now see why riot said the timing was vital lol.

(woulda tried youtube but the upload time was too high for 20 seconds >.>)

edit: Why are these links not turning into pictures? O.o

edit2: Redone to ACTUALLY be a max range Sol Q. From ally to enemy fountain (started recording late)

Imagine how terrifying it would be to be ganked by him. His Q would have a radius of like fifty teemos if he travelled far enough.

Vistha Kai23 votes

I'm more interested in his hitbox.

With all the fuss of "serpentine body hurr durr our technology" surrounding Ao Shin... My conclusion is that he's square like every other champion in the game.

Granted his tail do take turns later than him, but that's hardly new in the game industry.

The problem with Ao Shin also involved his animations, not just his hitbox. At no point in Ao Shin's announcement did Riot have the tech to implement the fluid body motions present on Aurelion Sol, so among many other things they would have had trouble animating him without making him look super-janky. The idea of special-casing a dragon's hitbox to account for the entire length of their body was probably not a really great idea to begin with (should hitting a dragon's tail really be the way to CC/kill them?), which is why Aurelion's back half sort of fades out of existence, something that would have also been harder to justify on a fully corporeal storm dragon.

If the dragon is a hyper tank: yes. Have the dragon lay down in front of his team (ala wind wall).

That.... would actually be an interesting champion.


Noodle, the serpent tank

P That tickles: Noodle has a long serpentine body which absorbs any bullets that touch it. He still suffers the full effects of anything absorbed.

Out of my way: Noodle ignores unit collision.

Return to sender: Noodle's secondary resource is a modified fury bar. When ever he is affected by an enemy attack or ability, he gains 3/4/5 fury (Triple gain from champions, Dragon, Baron, and Scuttle crab). If Noodle has more than 50 fury, it decays at 1 per second after 30 seconds of taking no damage.

Hunger When ever a non-champion dies near Noodle (enemy, ally, or neutral) he devours their essence. Noodle gains 0.005% damage reduction for each stack of essence devoured.

Q Coil: Passive Enemies that pass though Noodle are slowed.

Active: Noodle coils up tightly (0.2 second channel) before dashing a moderate distance. If he collides with a champion (enemy or ally) he will encircle them. (This ability does no damage.)

W Presence: Passive Small spirit-like creatures surround Noodle. They start at 1 per [hit-box] and increase with each rank.

Active Each spirit lashes out at a single enemy in a very small radius. Prioritizes Champions. Enemies that are encircled are focused and take additional damage.

E Favor: Passive Noodle doesn't hate you! . . Currently. . . Don't read too much into this; he will probably still eat you later.

Active Noodle sheds his skin healing for a moderate amount. Allies can pick up the skin to also heal for a moderate amount. Encircled allied champions immediately consume the skin and are cleansed of any CC. If noodle somehow encircles multiple allies (Ghost), priority goes to hard CC'ed champions then lowest health champions.

R Wrath: Passive Hunger

Active Noodle Encircles target nearby enemy champion for 3 seconds. Noodle becomes rooted and enemies can not pass through him during Wrath (Azir ult style wall). Target champion takes 20/40/60% of all damage dealt to Noodle (pre-mitigation) and share any debuffs. If the target champion dies during Wrath, Noodle gains 10 stacks of essence.


well that was a fun stream-of-consciousness concept. (>_>)

Eh. Kinda.

More like Braum wall than Anivia wall (he ignores unit collision).

Triple gain from champions, Dragon, Baron, and Scuttle crab.

That scuttle crab damage tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

The scuttle crab does 150% max health true damage each hit. People really don't realize how terrifying the thing is.

It's circular, like everyone else. He has a regular sized hitbox on his upper body, and his lower body is ethereal and has no collision on it. That's why his legs and tail are all ghosty like.

In which case they could easily make him less comical.

yeah I tested it out ingame and got all the way across the map. It was literally the size of like 2 turret ranges lol. So mine is pretty small to its actual full potential.

Mine is more of an actual game use where you're ganking or smth.

i'm already brainstorming for jungle aurelion. gank straight from your buff to lane, Q takes up the whole lane when it blows up, guy's getting smacked by stars, all his wards did not prepare him for this.

i'm excited.

BigSquirrell12 votes

Forget ganking lanes, imaging the baron steals with those abilities. Fly over the pit with your Q up, stun the entire enemy team, smite the baron, and float on past the pit to safety like the beautiful sky newt that you are.

Champion damage ends E :^)

Bârd6 votes

Can't hit you if they are stunned.

Penta Penguin1 votes

and then you die

Pikmints5 votes

You die while they're stunned? Or after the two second stun ends and they all burn flash to catch up?

Llanite1 votes

Well not happening as he drops back to the ground if hit. They just need to assign one person standing by the cliff to shoot him down (block the Q too)

BigSquirrell5 votes

In the games I play, most people aren't thinking far enough ahead to have someone watching out like that. Also, you could pass over the edge of the pit, hit anyone with a stun that's anywhere near you, and still be in range to smite. With a decent amount of move speed, I'm betting you can Q, move a little before using E, then fly with the Q slightly to one side of you so you aren't right behind it, getting a long-range Q stun to cover the baron pit while you're mostly following the wall. It'd take some great timing and angling abilities to pull it off, of course, but I'm sure at some point, someone will manage it, and it'll be glorious.

Llanite3 votes

Maximum 1 week before people figure it out, probably less due to how fast information flow.

If there is someone who blocks the cliff, the Q will explode at his location and the other 4 won't be affected, sure, you can suicide smite, but that isn't any different from typical dash-smite-miss-die.

Bârd9 votes

If you carry it from your base using alacrity boots and homeguards, you can make it even larger.

Now people will be competing for the biggest star instead of fastest movement speed since the lack of zephyr, weakened homeguards, no revive, etc

Gentzer2 votes

That's...actually huge. Imagine both teams are grouping mid, Sol could just fly up mid, and basically get a free Amumu ult that's the size of the lane.

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

Imagine this in 1-for-all.

Troxicale1 votes

Couldn't it technically get bigger with homeguards and all that? plus you hit a tower, so I thought it could've gone further. I don't actually know, I haven't played the PBE.

Solari Fortune1 votes

It doesn't get bigger with how fast you are moving, you just need to stay near it for it to grow

Troxicale1 votes

I know it doesn't. How are you going to stay near it without movement speed I mean

Solari Fortune1 votes

Your E Activated is well enough to keep up with it, mainly because you move at the same speed as it

Troxicale1 votes

I realize that. You would run out with homeguard near it and use E at the end of your base

Get someone to act as a guinea pig. If you don't have anyone I'll do it. I'll just have to do about 2-3 months of updates on my PBE client

The size of it makes you think it will one shot the poor fool who might get stuck under it, but it the same damage no matter the size. I kept making it giant thinking it would do more damage.
