Ok, So Aurelion Sol.....

Bellows··5 votes·859 views

I have some thoughts on this guy. (I know, yet another Sol Thread)

BUT WAIT.

Ok, so i have a life long obsession with dragons, hell my name MEANS dragon. I love space and the infinite cosmos. This champion sounds and acts just like me OMG. I have been at odds with Riot for some time. But this time, its like they stalked me and put me in their game. It is fantastic. All is forgiven unless they screw him up (no pressure Riot). I absolutely love everything about this champ. I have played him non-stop in ranked, I beat a Zed, Fizz, AND a Le Blanc not to long ago before posting this.

Hes not PERFECT, but hes pretty balanced. i wouldn't change ANYTHING as it stands unless you wanted to buff e somehow. I may be bronze, and i suck at some core mechanics of the game, but one thing I DO KNOW is positioning. This guys has my favorite offtank mage sustain damage playstyle. And I feel like i can position like a god when i play him. I heard someone say Riot was thinking of nerfing his ult? anyone confirm this? Its such a bad idea unless they wanted to give double tap to his q.

I get what peeps are saying about him and assassin champs but im not really having a problem with him. Other than the double tap thing on his Q (which if you can position right, you can stop even LB from goin in on you without it) I would only make adjustments to his E.

E - Comet of Legend BASICALLY MAKES YOU A COMET.... OF LEGEND. You should not be able to be pulled down from any sort of damage (keep the reset on damage if not being used) but lord, a comet isnt really pulled down from a single bullet...... AND WTF why can I be hit by traps? This flight logic tho. Pls make traps avoidable while in flight, if I ignore walls higher than teemo shrooms, i can avoid little traps. XD

Essentially, Keep him the same. Make trade offs with his kit if you do change anything.

You can do several things....

1-Nerf ult (if this is true) but give him double tap Q.

2-Allow the E to be reset by damage if not currently activated (but allow flight to go uninterrupted, but still take damage)

3-Dont allow E to be reset at all on damage (keep flight interruption as a thing)

4-Keep everything the same as it is now but give the movement speed an increase and less of a penalty when not moving straight.

ALSO had a nice idea for ult interaction with his stars. if you hit a champion with a passive Star at the same time you ult, it should do some extra proc damage on the ult. (just IMO but gives him a tiny edge of burst against champs that overwhelm him)

Pls guys, I love this champ to death, let me know what you think!

AurelionSol Runeterra, Am I Right?

I didn't know traps cancel his flight, that does sound pretty stupid.

As a fellow Aurelion Sol player I'll share my knowledge and opinions.

He is going to recieve a small bunch of nerfs, his Q will stun for less time at rank 2+ for a total of 1.5 seconds at max rank (live is 2 seconds) but if tooltips are right his rank 1 stun is longer (1.1 seconds on ptr, 1 second live). Plus they are reducing the slow on his ultimate (20% less slow at each rank if I'm not wrong) and the slow will last at its full magnitude for 2 seconds rather than rapidly decaying over 4 seconds.

It's pure speculation but these might be prehentive nerfs because of something coming during patch 6.8 that might make him OP (Riot stated that they had to nerf him before 6.8, quite unusual for them to be so specific). They recognise that Aurelion's learning curve is steep for both the players and the enemies.

As for now I'm having a blast playing him, I'm sitting on a 12/2 win/loss ratio and so I won't pick my torch and fork asap... but I do believe that the enrfs might be too much if there is not a small compensation elsewhere. Time will tell, Aurelion Sol is really new on the Rift and this means that RIot will have to tune it a lot. The Mage update is also coming soon and items modifications might affect him in a good way.

This is the reason new champs should be banned from ranked for 2 weeks.

What does your comment actually mean? Calling myself an AS player (can't call myself a main after just 14 games) triggered something?

ikr...

Stars Shaper1 votes

I guess you have no arguments.

(Yes I replied to you again)

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

Because you're not an Aurelion Sol player.

Stars Shaper2 votes

Yeah I guess playing him since release doesn't count. Try to get some facts and arguments before spouting nonsense.

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

No, it really doesn't.

Stars Shaper1 votes

ok, explain it then.

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

Because you're not good with the champ. You haven't played the champ enough to know them. Therefore, the champ should be banned from ranked so that people like you can't play them in ranked :)

Congratz for your trolling. Right now I sit on a pretty awesome win rate way better than any of your scores. You should probably be banned from the game altogether since trollish ppl like you only help to deteriorate and already on the edge community.

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

way better than any of your scores

You don't have a 100% win rate with the champ. So that is a false statement.

Also, winning a game that you're 2-6 doesn't exactly play into the idea that you're good with the champ. You average going 4.9-5.1 with the champ (edit: now you're 6-5 average). Meaning you are not exactly good. So I'm glad that you can get carried and have a decent win rate in norms, but that does not mean that you are good with the champ and should be playing ranked. You are playing into the point that new champs should be banned from ranked for a period of time :)

AurelionSol Becuase I am a team player and not a kill-sucker. I usually have a lots of assists and I am in the top 2 of damage done to champions charts. I guess your butthurtness came to show ;)

Also where I mentioned I was talking about playing him in ranked? We are talking about balance and power issues.

Hm...I don't know, maybe because my first post was saying that new champs should be banned from ranked and you asked why?

Bellows1 votes

As long as they dont touch his passive and damage on his ult honestly, i could still make him work. Just hate to see a well balanced, if not, slightly below average champ nerfed. But those changes mentioned above are great compensation points.

Bellows1 votes

Bumping, cause I'd really like a Rioter to comment on what they think.

Bellows1 votes

Does no one have ANYTHING to say? Riot might not consider these ideas for Sol if not talked about. :/

Bellows1 votes

Lol why downvotes? these are super plausible and sensible balances....

Bellows1 votes

I guess people are tired of talkin about Sol now. Sad cause Riot should see these. :(
