my reaction to aurelion sol

this champion is already my least favorite champion, as it represents riots inability to make a character that I have wanted ever since their concept.

anyway, the whole problem with ao shins design, its obvious the kit he needs is it not? storm dragon needs to deal with clouds. a passive that makes a small cloud that does nothing every so often around him, like a small aoe nothing, kind of like illinois. and all of his abilities do something irrelevant or incredible based on the cloud. the cloud should form around him, and he should be able to somewhat control it, but it should be semi random.

ability one, a basic lightning bolt, hits a small aoe and does a little damage. if it hits a cloud, it does damage in the clouds radius and increases the damage of the bolt, as well as removing the cloud.

ability two, a small heal that flows kind of like nami's bubble, not exactly but something like that. if it hits a cloud, the cloud heals in its field for a few seconds and then dissapears.

ability three, an average movespeed buff that increases over a short duration, like a 10%-50% change after a few seconds, if he travels through a cloud the cloud charges him and he instantly gets to max speed and makes the cloud give a small boost to allies tat pass through it for a few seconds befor edisapearing.

his ult would be like the one in the thing, he would become untargetable for a duration and create a big cloud that disappears after he is done ulting in a decent area, during this duration he would still be able to cast spells. the fx would make it look like he was going around but that would be an illusion, just put him under the ground like vlad and make it look like a lightning ao shin is flying around in a big circle.

there, a cool kit that is both interesting to play and has unique game elements that don't inherently break the game. he would remain good in the mid lane, but would be more of a support or top laner.

and the issue of creating a fluid dragon? not super hard to solve, just use static animations for certain things and instead of serpentine, focus more on floaty.

you can't give up on the storm dragon, he has so much potential that you aren't putting into it. also he is already in official riot stuff
