But this . . . it is too much.

hells bells XV5 votesaurelion 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

Jasiwel2 votesI 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.
SoundChaosDebug1 votesHow 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?
DrCyanide12 votesYes, for the same reason we're not getting Priscilla and Elise. The concept of Priscilla was revised and revised until it became Elise, there's nothing left of Priscilla. Likewise, there's nothing left of the Ao Shin concept that won't be in this Aurelion Sol.

Awhegark1 votes♫He is not the Dragon we want, nor the dragon we need. He is DEFINITELY not Ao shin♫
Shahamut1 votesHe's the Dragon that the league community deserves, but not the one it needs... :P
AATTRROOXX1 votesThat is so sad... [zombie-nunu-tears]
Emperor Time1 votesThis new dragon champion better be a jungler or i'm gunna riot. Been waiting for this friggen dragon champion for almost 3 years now...

Lumen Sage1 votesBring her "dragon" form appereance more in line with the existing dragon in the game and I might agree with that.
Voidzilla1 votesOf 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.

You will be missed Ao Shin

Surprise!
Luxrath1 votesDamn son that picture is a bit brutal.
Profirix1 votesBibleThump that image. But hey, there will be another dragon to take his place.
Traptintime1 votesI'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.

looks like he never watched a horror flick >_>
RIP Ao Shin Sep 2013 - Feb 2016
Kaiser Rienhard1 votes"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.
winddriver1 votesActually, 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]
