How do you mess up a SPACE DRAGON?
I know this has likely been covered by dozens of other forum goers, I know I'm likely months late to this party. But it really does bare repeating how frustrating this champion is currently in ALL aspects of gameplay. Before I get really in depth, let me get the praise out of the way.
YOU ADDED A SPACE DRAGON TO LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. This is by far the coolest concept I've seen introduced since Volibear. His personality, spot on. His visual design, BEAUTIFUL! His dialogue and interactions are the most complex and hilarious of any champion to date. I'm slavering over the lore, and I can't wait to see the what becomes of pantheon once he gets his remake.
There, now let's talk the problems. This champion is not like other champions, that's most of the time a good thing. Originality/Uniqueness etc, etc. But for A. Sol? His orbiting stars fail spectacularly at living up to the fantasy of the space dragon. His Q? Great. His E? Feels sweet, don't like how much vision it grants but y'know what okay. His Ult? Boring as hell, could have been revised or given cooler effects.
But let's focus on the orbitals. What do you want to do as a space dragon? Breath starfire, be a badass, creator of the cosmos. What do I not want to do? Play this game of ring around the rosie, trying to keep 
champions 
away 
that 
ONE SHOT. Lining up the orbitals are not fun, they don't feel gratifying, they take so much mana, SO MUCH. I'm jealous of Anivia's mana costs. I SHOULD NOT BE JEALOUS OF ANIVIA'S MANA COSTS. They travel at a snail's pace, and the decision for CC to remove them entirely? I... I have no words. Even if CC turned off the outer orbital, fine, yeah, sure, leave me with the regular range. But right now any form of CC leaves you more vulnerable than a lvl 1 teemo that forgot to buy starting items but goes to invade yes that happened. I've never played a champion when I actually get a kill, it comes as a complete surprise to me. I feel NOTHING when I kill a champion. I could get a double kill and I just feel hollow from it all. I don't know how to describe it, but I get no thrill from my main way of damaging enemies, no sense of feedback.
TL:DR
- Extravagant mana costs.
- Incredibly slow orbit
- Last hitting is complete BS, increase execute mechanic.
- No positive feedback from 'Outer' Orbitals.
- Does not match fantasy of space dragon awesomness.
- CC removing orbitals is too punishing.
- You build AP, too squishy. You build bruiser AP, still squishy but no damage.
- Far too easy for enemies to avoid, way too Latency dependent.
