Are You Ever Going To Adresss ASOL?

Like this has been bugging me forever now. He is so weak and useless in a burst meta. He can't fight adc he's too slow and gets out sustained. He can't fight anyone with any form of dash, including flash. He can't fight melee champions. He can't fight other mages. He's so useless. Like I faced Ahri as Asol and she used her ball on me and took half my hp in 1 go. I used my entire kit and didnt do near half that. Same thing with teemo, he does 800 with one q, I am barely doing 300 with my ult. Isn't it bad enough you have to position him every second of every fight to be effective. Like can we get some real damage here.

He's decent into the right match up, and quite good in the right comp. You probably just shouldn't blind pick him, as he has terrible match-ups. I don't really see a problem with that. He's a sustained magic dealer, and excels in drawn out team fights. He's not in meta right now, but that doesn't mean he needs to be drastically changed.

And if you don't like having to constantly change position, he's probably not the right champion for you. Not everything is intended to appeal to all players.

Riot said already that they stopped working on Aurelion Sol for now. They were working on something but during the internal play testing it resulted in something so bad for both Aurelion and the receiving hand that they decided to quit that entirely and just move to other priorities.

That said, it's not like Aurelion Sol is in an overall bad state. His roaming is game changing at any time of the game, his teamfight and chasing potential are also over the top, his weaknesses are somehow necessaries to keep him under control. Just look at what happens to tournaments ban phases the moment some1 picks Aurelion Sol.
