Thought Experiment; Aurelion is 'weak'

Rude Name··3 votes·837 views

Disclaimer; Aurelion is not weak lol I just wanna have some fun with this post

Oh deary me, Sol is a bit weak, let's throw a dog his bone

AurelionSol Patch 8.4 (Passive) +10% AP ratio to stars Winrate tips 57%

Oh no no no, we overdid it! He's doing too much damage everywhere now, we'll tone back his roam power

AurelionSol Patch 8.5 (E) No longer flies over terrain Winrate drops to 48%

Oof, bugger us, he's horrible! I know, buff his stars more

AurelionSol Patch 8.6 (W) 30 - 195 >>> 50 - 260 Winrate slides to 54%

And now people are complaining his damage is too high? We'll hit his stars then

AurelionSol Patch 8.8 (Passive) Now only 2 stars orbit (Passive and W) +10 - 200 base damage to stars Winrate slaps 58%

WhaaAAAT? He's getting stronger? Well then, we do what we must

AurelionSol Patch 8.10 (Passive) No stars, only DoT ring Winrate - idek, your guess is as good as mine

Wowee, guess you're up for a rework then kiddo

I should just say I'm having a bit of fun, but also trying to say - Please, try to not remove skill expression from ALL champs and then bandaid it with damage buffs. We don't want damage buffs

I always had this crazy idea about AurelionSol, one that plays around the fact that he's visible while hiding in bushes and while using E.

Why not rework him around this concept? Much like stars are always visible in the night sky. Make AurelionSol ALWAYS visible to the enemy team.

But make him crazy strong.

More damage, Tankier, more of everything. Maybe convert AP to health. He'll effectively become the strongest champion in LoL. But he'd lose access to one of the core mechanic of the game, the ability to deny his vision to the enemy team.

Might seem like a stretch, but Aurelion already has this gameplay aspect of being visible to champions he can't see himself when his stars are poking out of bushes.

Well, it’s thematic, I’ll give ya that, but I still think it’ll break his strategic element of roaming and split pushing.

Perhaps another champion might fit that thematic as well, perhaps another celestial being?

He's less popular than Mordekaiser and that's saying something. Still has a better winrate though. :(
