How are those ASOL changes going?

This is most likely going to get hate, but whatever. The ASOL HYPE WAS REAL, then died the second people played with his kit. I heard he was getting touched up a while back, but no news as of yet. I want to play Asol because he is one of the coolest champions in the game, but his kit bores me to death and him being a super niche pick doesn't help. In my personal opinion ASol should have been a hybrid type champion and not a mage. You have this amazingly cool concept of a celestial dragon, whose in game model is so epic, but is never seen.
He should have had some more ad abilities and been more ad interactive in fights then mage interactive. By that I mean instead of firing shots from the back, he should have been at the front line cause havoc. But you put him, a giant space beast able to destroy stars, in the front and he is useless because of his star mechanic. The stars idea is cool, but super lackluster for ASOL.
As a Giant Dragon I want to be able to make Ad type plays where I feel like I am fighting. That is the reason Yasuo is popular, he feels like you are doing something rather than firing shots from the back. Same with Champions Like Malzhzar, I love his concept, but just floating there doing nothing with his actual model expect waving his hands around is boring. Yasuo gets into it, his model, kit, sword all feel like you're fighting.
ASOL Ultimate is perfect and what it should be, thought a buff wouldn't hurt. His Ability to fly is also cool (though I would argue to make ASOL a more mobile fighter rather than a map crossing monster, but flight is fine too.) His expansion and stun, though cool concepts, just don't do it for me. You're to open to get shut down should anyone get close and you can't even stun them if they do. Your so easily open and have no chance if a xin, yasuo, or anyone basically gets close to you. I remember being 20/8 as Asol one game long ago(I have no idea when, but when he first came out) and I was fighting a Xin who was 5/12 and I couldn't do jack shit to stop him from reking my face when he flashed in.
That isn't fun and no one want's it. I would change the stars and his stun. I know it's fun to see his galaxy buster expand, but it is utterly useless if the opponent isn't far away. That is just my two cents, but I really hope they reconsider ASOL for a little bit. I mean coolest model in game and coolest champion(one of) and is never played except by a handful.
