Aurelion Sol Rework (sorry if im not as convincing im sure high rank sol mains can extend more)

Could you please revert aurelion sol back to his original state? According to the reddit on /raurelionsolmains, nearly all dislike the aurelion sol changes. The w from a toggle to a spell, changes seems like aurelion sol isn't a true majestic dragon anymore. The Aurelion sol communities are all not having fun with the changes. He seems useless during laning phase and it just feels like a piece is missing in aurelion sol's kit. Please glue the piece back into his kit so sol mains would enjoy playing the dragon in summoners rift. Thanks. I just want Riot Games to consider the change that many sol mains has been requesting and wishing. I miss playing aurelion sol man TT

Why? Whats wrong with it?

What about the players who can ACTUALLY PLAY Aurelion now?

Sol didn't gain any new players like Riot hoped, his small dedicated player base only dropped, the only peeps who play him are those that just enjoy the IDEA of a space dragon even if he isn't delivering on it as well as he could

There are more people who gave up Aurelion Sol than picked him up due to Riot's attempt to allow Aurelion Sol to appeal to a broader audience and be picked up easier. I'm paraphrasing but essentially that was the mission statement.

They failed at their goal and have just made him less popular than before. He doesn't strike players as a "majestic godly space dragon." He fails to live up to his persona in game.

there are less of them there there are of the OLD Aurelion sol player base this isn't a case of old Xerath vs new Xerath where they kept his identity but just flushed out his kit.

this is a case of basicly taking a DPS mage and turning into a mediocre burst mage.

imagine if they took Annie and turned her into an enchanter.

or made Zed into a skerimisher instead of an assassin.

or made Jhin into a heal bot or tank or shortened all of his range to make him a close range adc and changed his ult into an attack speed steroid.

Old Aurelion felt like you really were a god, able to massively impact a teamfight. Enemies ignoring you would be a GREIVOUS mistake as they would soon realize who the real carry was. This sol feels like just a generic burst mage with good roaming. You burst one or two people down and either back out or get deleted cause all you can do is q, press w and try to hit them as many times as possible before ulting them when they're low. Once q, w, and r are on cd you have nothing.

Please hear me out on this. I personally like the change to Aurelion Sols W. In my opinion, landing a stun and immediately being able to hit an opponent with stars rapidly is nice. I think there is a good medium which can satisfy everyone. Players like myself who prefer Sols new early game potential, and players who want Sol's late game presence.

The change I propose:

Have Sol's W cooldown become lower with each point invested in the skill. At max skill level allow the player to recast the ability before the stars retract to extend the duration they are out and re-accelerating them. If it is not re-cast the stars will retract and provide the movement speed bonus.

This may not be a toggle, but it will be a good middle ground for players like myself, and the OG Sol players.

I played him first time and even I have realized his W now doesnt make any sense. I mean with this rework im sure new players like me just ingores him. And how a saw in videos i might enjoy him if his W would be fun. Now its annoying, and i dont play games for making myself angry i guess.

He is good now. Don't Complain just cause he has become more of an burst mage.

I agree with OP, completely ruined the champion. He was my favorite champ to play and after trying out the rework i absolutely hate it. Needless rework and ruined the champ in the process. Garbage, Garbage, Garbage. I couldn't even finish the game I was in because i was so disgusted with what you guys did to my boy. Butchered him. PLEASE REVERT HIM TO THE WAY HE WAS.
