Aurelion Sol has a problem.

Hi Volks,

i really like to play AurelionSol Aurelion Sol cause i think he has a pretty interesting Kit and a MASSIVE skill Ceiling. But since the new Rune Update hes pretty.. mediocre. Basicly he lost his main Keystone (stormraiders surge)

Since then hes pretty... meh. Also.. his Ult deals 150 DMG on Lvl 1. Other champs have higher dmg on theyre Q :D

At the moment i use Electrocute on him, cause his W /Passive can trigger it alone. (even tho it says seperate Spells it still works, same for Azirs Soldiers)

I know Aurelion has a Buff on Pbe...but... cmmon 10 Secs on his ult and thats all? Cmmon that wont help him.

The Problem at the moment is that like every Champion has a Blink/Dash/jump nowdays and Aurelion has no meaningfull way to do something about that. if ae. the new Champion Zoe just Runs into your comfort zone you have NO way to do anything besides burning Flash/Ult. And even if you do that they, most of the time, just jump right back in.

I just name some Matchups where Aurelion absolutely gets s*** on and even if you Main him you cant do anything:

AurelionSol VS Akali AurelionSol VS Yasuo AurelionSol VS Zed AurelionSol VS Katarina etc...

The best Solution to fix this Problem is: A: Being able to reactivate Q instantly. (Anivia can do it, so why not our Stardragon too?) B: Giving his Ult more DMG (cause its the only way he can hurt someone inside his comfort Zone) C: Give his Passive/Stars more effects/dmg. Stuff like AS increases Star speed

thx for reading ^^

The 3 attack mechanic on Phase Rush is exactly the same as the 3 attack mechanic on Electrocute, so his Q and individual stars can proc Phase Rush just as well. They're adding slow resistance back to Phase Rush for ranged champions on the PBE, and that's where the real buff is.

Personally I've been having fun with Glacial Augment Asol, it works really well with Hextech GLP and you can get the magical boots for extra movespeed, and stack that with celerity. It's not ideal but it's actually pretty effective.

You can proc phase rush with Sol, by just using stars.

well in the meta right now every champion kills you at the snap of a finger or so damn tanky you break your fingers hitting them. while sol is so well balanced it hurts him

So this is how you play him now..

Get item 3092 (once you stack it you have storm raiders)

Then get Presence of Mind

My winrate on sol has been great in the preseason. I feel like taking glacial augment and approach velocity gets the desired effects from phase rush/storm raiders better
