Anyone else let down by the Aurelion Sol reveal?

He doesn't look badass as I thought he would.

His skills are cool and all, but not very dragon related outside of the roaming E skill which seems hilarious.

I'm mostly disappointed in his ultimate. I was hoping he'd launch himself into the sky and rain down a ton of comets or meteors on the whole rift similar to a Karthus ult but meteors everywhere raining down, or at least jump up into the air and unleash a crazy magical fire breath AOE down onto the rift.

Well, he isn't too bad, but just not what I was hoping. The jungle would seem fun, you can just go in hard with your E, try to get behind them then Q them for the stun, activate W to increase the range and then R to knock them back to your turret lol.

Looks like he would make a good AP tank tho, I'm glad for that. The Tahm Kench eating him with his passive still going is gonna be crazy.

EDIT. Overall, he isn't too bad, same creator as Bard, he did a good job making what appears to be yet another fun champion, not overally complicated and oppressive (until he goes tank AP) but still, I'll most likely end up buying him, he is still a dragon.

Although he don't look super OP, he does look annoying to lane against cause of the ever going passive which will make you dance like a puppet.

Well, it seems like his kit was really designed around his passive. Q explodes after exciting extended passive range. W is just a toggle to make the passive stronger. E is a travel ability and q combo, and ult pushes and maintains people at extended passive length. It's all about the orbs.

Dragons dig orbs man.

i was hoping his ult was going to create a star like a super synra q with extra range and extra damage that explodes after a certaiin amount of time

NO, AND YOU'RE A STUPID TROLL IF YOU ARE, LULULUL, IS PERFECT, SO PRETTY, LOOKS LIKE SHENRON! Seems to be the general consensus in the reveal thread. Personally, I'm right there with you. He seems very weak, and kinda makes me suspect they had a star based move-set they couldn't think of a champ for, and Ao Shin, who they couldn't think of any kit for, so they just mashed them together. I got excited at that trailer to..

I'd have put his passive on his W, give his Q some decent range, put his E on his Ult, while adding in a bombing run style attack, and given his E something completely different. Maybe a location based buff, spawning a star.

Perception is a LOT different then what it actually plays out to be, for all we know, Sol, is gonna be the most OP shit since release leblanc. Maybe theres so super good way to do combos, like Azirs Drift.

You never know till you play them, and till their out on live.

True, but it doesn't change initial opinions, ya know?

Actually, he might be good mid lane really if you think about it. The passive is an on going constant thing, while it looks like he does melee attacks, he can still hit all the other ranged mid laners with his on going passive, they would always have to be on their toes because of this, he can also increase the range of it too. If they go in, he can back step and still work with his passive to constantly make them dance for him.

He seems fun, but just not really what I expected. I'll probably buy him tho, build a good amount of tank/AP.

Aurelion Sol really needs to put the passive on W and make a new passive aside from that I like the rest of his kit. Although the ulti could be changed....

I am not too fond of the design of his body. His head is very large and is body incredibly small and slender. His standing pose seems rather odd, like he's leaning forward too much. Seems like a better idea would have been to make him more of an upright standing being.

If Vel'Koz hadn't been created, I guarantee you that his ult would've been a 'death-ray' type ultimate just like our favorite alien. Visually it'd be like Arclight Vel in particular.

But unfortunately they didn't want to copy the ult so they gave him something else.
