I'd just like to clarify something about Aurelion Sol

Everyone says he's so bad, he's useless, etc and wonders why anyone plays him. I was wondering the same too and I think I finally found why he's so fun.

We all know he's a huge BAMF dragon. And that he takes a crapload of positioning to play properly. Moreso than others which is why he isn't picked that often. But the positioning is what makes Aurelion Sol AURELION SOL. His purpose is to literally damage everything WITH HIS PRESENCE. You literally don't have to do anything to damage people except click your W and move around. His E and ult aren't for damaging and his Q is just a stun with damage attached (which is also fun, he's throwing a SUN at you. You better get stunned and damaged).

He's so badass, he just stands there and damages you. Maybe switch things up and throw a star here and there but the main thing is to just move around to damage you. And if damaging with presence isn't awesome to you, what is?

I just dislike how every melee with a gapcloser completely shits on him to the point of no return.

That is why he as that particular ult...now I do wish you could reactivate his Q right next to him like anivia can with hers (cause let's face it, they have similar Q's just with different animations)

Pre 6 and when it's on CD he get's shit on by melees. Not to mention they can just wait it out T-T

Such a fun champ to play. I got lvl 7 and everything. Just a shame that so many champions can hurt him a heck of a lot. And I definitely think his Q should have insta-recast. Leaving him exclusively with his ult to deal with people entering his inner circle is just stupid.

PS. New skin please riot. I'm not a big fan of fire :)

Literally this. Even the new skin part I agree with xD. Fire+dragons=awesome but Aurelion Sol isn't an ordinary dragon :P

He's just very unconventional with almost all his damage revolving around (no pun intended :3) his stars, which constantly orbit him. He's a difficult champion who's completely murdered by gapcloser champs. Hence, most people don't want to learn him further and call him trash. Except he's incredibly powerful.

Mmmmmm..... that's a bad champion right there.

considering he's not the best jungler and he's supposed to go mid, I'd say that's actually a pretty damn good winrate.
