It's cost already mana cost on use, and is canceled by heavy CC. It's his only way to keep a melee champion away with Rylais, because a melee champion face to face with Aurelion Sol is very very Difficult to do anything about it. His Ultimate is the only skill that reposition a melee champion away from him. If you guys think it will be too powerful then increase the cost on use and lower the cost per sec.
Rockman1 votesNah.
Also W doesn't help keep melee champions away.
Do you even play Sol?
taleofsonata1 votesOk Let me explain to you what Rylais does because it seems you don't understand aurelion sol nor the AP item.
Applies a 40% Slow.
An extended Aurelion W Will slow the enemies hit by it by 40%. If Aurelion can keep the W hitting the melee champion lets say Darius, Darius should not be able to be in melee range to kill you because he is 40% slowed. While Aurelion can keep his distance using his W. Now if Darius gets in melee range you want to reactivate your W to slow him then Push him away with R and W again to slow him again.

I'm not dumb but you seem to think that his W is only effective vs melee when it also needs to be able to be cc'ed for ranged as well.
