Anyone else think the Aurelion nerf hit him a bit hard?

It's not even the stun duration nerf, that was a good call by rito. But the ult nerf.... really? He cannot even stand a chance against assassins since they can retaliate faster after he pushes them off of him. And it's because the slow doesn't last long enough anymore. He can't even stop runners with his ult anymore, since they just get away and you have just wasted your ult :(

I feel it was too early to nerf or buff him. Should have waited a little while longer and see what the community was able to do to play him and counter him in builds, masteries, runes, etc.

I think this is the majority consensus on the side who was upset with the nerfs. There is also another train of people who are happy he got nerfed. Personally it was a little too early.

By nerfing him they've stopped most people from trying to learn him. Its like what they did with Illoai and we know what happened to her.

Well I learned him for sure, I have him 5, but now I have to relearn a bit because my old combo and zed counter doesn't work anymore

He is basically a c/c bot until he gets RoA, Rylais and boots.

His stun travels about 2 feet if you dont move with it, making it only half useful retreating.

Zero in lane mobility to escape ganks. If you use your Q(or ult post six) to trade, you are a free kill.

He has a huge ass dead zone because you cant instantly activate Q to stay alive.

He is a niche pick that requires teamwork.

Zed went unnerfed an entire split and sol didnt last one patch?

I seriously can't believe it.

Now go loom at Tarics rework and go wtf.

He basically needs Rylais+RoA to become a real threat.. just delayed his power is all.

Naturally item 3116 is the guilty of his ult nerf...

I don't really think so. Most Aurelion's I've seen have gotten kills within the first few minutes of the game, before they could even get Rylais.

At least theyre not buffing then scrambling to nerf 4 patches later.

Classic Rito. Make a gimmick kit, let it be strong on release and then nerf it to shit tier next patch.
