aurelion sol is ao shin, just like all champion concepts they change over time, in this case, hits name and kit has changed maybe his appearance a little too but its still the base concept

I love how Morello is still the bad guy in these posts. Reminds me of the hilarious Champion stories on old General Discussion where Garen came to terms with his being a wizard, Morello was the bad guy, and Ghostcrawler was the BIG BAD guy.

BibleThump that image. But hey, there will be another dragon to take his place.

I'm willing to bet that the new dragon champion is going to be more of a western design simply so they can avoid some of the problems they mentioned. To this I say cool I would love a western dragon in lol, but that doesn't mean you have to kill Ao Shin. I mean God forbid you have two completely design dragons based around two different themes. That would be like have two humanoid champions and almost as bad as having two of those humanoid champions you know be the same race, like human.

"Hey Riot, are you guys trashing Ao Shin? Its been a long ass time now and I'm afraid you guys have given up."

Nah man we haven't given up, um problems, um kit, we're still committed.

"Great! I really l really like the concept and hope you guys manage to short out the problems. Thanks for being upfront"

Literally a week later

Yeah...about that.

How many of these are going to pop up over the next week?

Is it really that unrealistic to get this character and wait longer for the ao shin?

Actually, they said that Aurelion Sol is a name that is tentative, which means Aurelion Sol might not be the acutal name for the new champion, which means that the champion's name can still be Ao Shin. If it's not, RIP, Ao Shin 2013-2016.[zombie-nunu-tears]

♫He is not the Dragon we want, nor the dragon we need. He is DEFINITELY not Ao shin♫

This new dragon champion better be a jungler or i'm gunna riot. Been waiting for this friggen dragon champion for almost 3 years now...

Of god, that picture is actually pretty heart-wrenching. [zombie-nunu-tears] RIP our Ao Shin, the little dragon that almost could...

On the other hand, I'm glad to hear that Riot didn't completely abandon the idea. I hope this Aurelion Sol will live up to the hype that was created all that time ago. At the very least, I hope the new dragon will still have Eastern influences to it.
