Okay so we have a ultra powerful being that can create and destroy stars with the slightest effort, yet his ultimate is the most underwhelming thing I have ever encountered. At level 1 it does 150 base damage with a 70% scaling, which is like a rank 3-5 ability of many other champions. Veigar's "q" does 150 damage at rank 3, with a 60% scaling and grants you extra AP when you kill things. The slow and knock back is nice, but not really enough to justify at 110 second cooldown. I suggest making either his ultimate do at least 75 extra damage at all ranks, and decrease the cooldown to 60 seconds at rank 1, not going down with additional ranks. This would make his ultimate feel a lot more impactful, whereas right now it feels if you miss an ult you just wasted your only way to disengage, and won't have it ult for another 2 minutes. Which just feels lame.

EDIT: While it is a good and very useful ability for utility purposes, it just feels like it doesn't do enough damage to justify the large cooldown.

Rock surfing ultimate. Sounded good on paper, not a great ult for a mage to have.

Aurelion's Ult is so useful because it allows him to get a near guaranteed follow up with his Q and W. It's the ability that helps everything come together. Trust me when I say that Aurelion doesn't need buffs. Experienced players are hitting a ~60% winrate with him in Mid and the Jungle. Before the nerfs that number was 65%. Even strong champions like Zed and Lucian aren't hitting numbers anywhere near that (~55%).

Power is kit relative not ability relative, some champions don't even have ults, think about that.

Yeeaah. I feel bad for Aurelion. You saw him a bit after release but you just... never see him ever now. Especially after the nerfs. Pretty decent nerfs, too.

WTF, Riot?

Aurelions Ult is amazing!

You just have to use it the right way - I never try to accomplish anything on Lane with it. Fly Bot behind your Target, do the Insec with Ult followed by a save Q hit -> Profit. ^^

He's not getting buffs anytime soon. He is already at the extreme high end of win rate.
