Aurelion Sol Buff

Broken Bladë··8 votes·2,587 views

As an Aurelion Sol main, I believe that he needs a buff and here are some reasons why

  1. On his release, he was basically nerfed to nothing on the second day and stopped him from doing much
  2. He is an exceptionally odd champion with a very old kit design and he is extremely awkward to play
  3. He doesn't do damage. Even at full build, comparing him to an ap champion like Ahri or Ziggs (For example) He does nothing.
  4. He might as well be countered by every champion in the game

I am certainly not saying Aurelion is a bad champion or un-playable, because he can be godly if played correctly. I just believe he needs some fixing~!

Things to save The Star Forger, Aurelion Sol

  • Add a double tap feature to his Q (The ever-lasting stun) Much Like Anivia. As an Aurelion, you get demolished by everyone who is close range and once the enter the stars, you're basically dead since his only saving grace against close range is his ult
  • FIX HIS MANA PROBLEM - Sol has 0 mana early game and struggles to hold lane due to this. Even in the champion spotlight, he lost half of his mana just damaging an Anivia!!
  • Since his inability to hide in bushes, I think his passive should reveal the area they pass. Example: If Sol goes near a bush his passive should reveal the area around him.
  • Increase his Q damage on size. Since it is a map wide stun, adding a small amount of damage and really help this Cosmic Dragon
  • Lower E CD
  • Higher base dmg on stars or better W scaling

Aurelion is an AMAZING champion and so much fun to play and in high elos, he is a god. Yet- there is something highly off about him... Maybe its he's weird kit or low damage early.

I truly hope riot or anyone can see this and take it to heart. Aurelion needs some attention. AurelionSol

I play a decent amount of AurelionSol and his Q does need to be changed a bit. You should be able to immediately recast it and it should have a longer stun on bigger stars, because a 1.5 second stun when you land it on 5 people doesn't feel satisfying at all. Also his W needs to cost less in the earlier levels. I already lose 1/2 mana using my W to push a wave level 1.

I'm not sure if we want to buff him or not, but buff everything but his Q. Aurelion Sol is balanced around being vulnerable in melee range, and giving him the ability to double tap his Q would break him.

Aurelion Sol is a nightmare to deal with in the same sense that Cassiopeia is a nightmare to deal with, except for the fact that:

Cassiopeia is rather difficult to just land a random Q - but if she did, there goes at the very least 50% of your HP - unless if you have some kind of CC in the -midlane- to deal with that. So the problem is the constant damage that shoves a person to hide and coward at tower until it's 'okay' to come out again.

AurelionSol is the same thing - except he doesn't need to land a Q - just make one mistake, and you're going back to base because he just follows you and you can't escape him because he'll always be faster than you. If you stand out of position or use an ability - he can just walk on top of you and push you back to tower to the point that you need to hide behind it if he ever becomes dominant. Most likely, you'll have to back - even worse than Cass.

So the issue is that they have sustained damage, but why doesn't Cas get nerfed into the ground? Because she needs to land her Q. If that weren't the case- she'd be nerfed in the ground, which in Aure's case - it's happened to him already.

Another case of this issue is Azir . . . but uhhhhh, we don't talk about him. He doesn't exist, I don't even know why I brought him up. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh. (I +1'd the post though, because he should probably be spoken about.)

He doesn't really deserve a buff. He has 51% winrate, and that's in general, if you only count Diamond+, he has 56% winrate, which means he is very good if you learn how to play it. He's still an odd champion, though.

No. As a fellow A Sol main, I don't think he needs a buff at all. He feels perfectly balanced, with a balanced win-rate. The only thing I would like changed is being able to once again aim his Q with the minimap. Other than that, he is fine.

Aurelion Sol is really strong in higher ELOs so even slight buffs that might be unnoticeable is low ELOs would be really noticeable in high ELO.

I do feel that his larger Q should get a damage buff, maybe just a small one like 1.25x increase damage. I'd be fine if they nerfed it's normal 0.75x if they made it better with the big explosion star part. I'd think this would be a good nerf / buff to Sol.

i would say he just needs a better scaling on his q

I think all aurelion sol needs is a Q spell fix, it needs to get a full control on it exemple: An assassin jumps on Asol dodging the passive, in the majority of cases Asol will 100% die if the ult in on cool down, but if he could trigger his Q as soon as he spawns it, he will survive 50% of the matchups.
