Sol mains can still manage to win with him and not feed, so this sounds like a "you" problem.

No, he need buffs. I was fine on him before the nerfs to W.

Ha! By that logic, since i suck at Jayce, Jayce must need mega buffs.

Yeah no. He's still viable, 50% winrate and 1% playrate, he is no Azir or Kalista, you can still win with him. The only advice i can give you is Git Gud

The nerfs were much needed. Ask anyone, even in r/Aurelion_Sol_Mains. Sol needs no buffs. He just a higher skill floor than normal which needs adjusting to. If you want to learn to improve, then visit the subreddit. They are more than willing to give personalized advice on how to improve provided that you bring replays or a profile to view. Further, there's help in the "Starforging 101" guide made by community members. To say that Sol needs buffs means that the level of play you seek needs more practice. After learning from the Sub, I can get consistent A's to S ratings. Sol needs no buffs. Learning his mechanical skill floor and ceiling is what you need.

Thanks, ive calmed down now. Literally a gaming ad popped up on my youtube and the slogan was Dont Rage Quit. I took it as a sign to pick sol up again. Thanks for not bashing me.

hes still the highest win rate in diamond, still a very strong mid laner just because he can shove nonstop and then roam.

pretty much this. Pre big nerfs to him a lot of korean challenger players were talking about how he was basically boosting people to high elos. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/545try/apdos_thoughts_stream_after_hitting_rank_1_korea/

Aurelion Sol was the most broken champion in the game, after the nerf, he's still strong but manageable. "Here comes some hard cold facts" Any player that raised their elo significantly with Sol are boosted trash. The reason being is that when a good player and a bad player meets in lane, you can clearly see the bad player lose xp/cs and lose level over time, resulting in snowballing. But with Sol, a Bronze player can play the lane out easy against a CHALLENGER player. The real shitty thing with Sol comes from the fact that when this Challenger player knows this, so he tries to kill the boosted Sol early on and duel him, you lose. If you look at Sol Challengers they are all Sol OTPs, they are rotting in Plat and low Diamond, but then got up because of Sol. If you want some proof, go look at Sol OTP challengers, they are all above 60% winrate. If you are above 60% winrate, you need to be way higher in Challenger. This means you are either an alt or shitter that's got his rank boosted substantially because of Sol.

I rarely play the dragon and had a complete stomp as him the other day with average runes and masteries. He felt as strong as before, if not better than before. He needs zero changes, imo.

Yep the champ who still has almost a 60% win rate at 125+ games needs huge buffs 4Head

If anything he could use more nerfs.
