Aurelion Sol Idea?

I'm wondering if maybe Aurelion Sol would be played more if the speed of his stars scaled with his AP (or AS?). I like playing him but at times it seems like he has too many negatives to his kit; ie. cc negates his passive, can be seen in bushes, needs to build rylais every game. A lot of people don't really like playing him even when they are doing well and the main complaint is that he seems less impactful/fun than other champions. So I was thinking that if his stars orbit speed scaled with his AP ( even if it's only when he activates W) than that would make him feel more like a machine gun when he's fed. This would likely make him stand out more, both as a damage dealer and a target. I understand making the stars orbit faster would make him borderline broken with rylais but there could be a way to balance it by lowering the damage a bit so that it's the same damage output but with less time in between hits.

Anyone that like this idea can bump it up to the top of the boards, I just want to know if this is something @riot can consider.

Riot expressly knocked down the idea of a dynamic orbit speed because it was hard enough to play Sol well without worrying about shifting orbit speeds. Subconsciously you learn to time the orbit speed as you play him more and get good with him, but if the orbit speed changes, you can no longer do this.

aurelion is going to be trash until they allow his Q to be double tapped
