this was a very insightful podcast, ive learned alot from it. Aurelion Sol was a very well implemented champion. He perfectly delivers on the concept of a powerful star creating dragon with the way that his Q works when he flies with it and his passive. Its a very simple kit yet its so unimaginably deep in so many aspects in terms of his character, his theme and mechanics. Its all so beautiful. Man one liner Chosen quote "Naturally" that killed me, perfect.

Shyvana and Aurelion Sol perfect match and there should be a skin called sunlight aurelion sol o.o

DeathBYNoob3/12/2016, 2:42:26 AM1 votes

the new champ looks great but his move where the stars extend outward I believe should extend but also make another inner circle of starts that move could harm him more than help him in my opinion except maybe some cheesy threw the wall hit or something

riot this new champs passive is like a perma DrMundo "w"

Hydrò3/12/2016, 9:25:08 PM1 votes

Shyvana x Aurelion = Shvalion Sol, The Half-Dragon Forger

Now lets imagine that. A Baby Celestial Cosmic Half-Dragon.

I think that league needs to create a reflections type champ idk i'm not very creative, but they should make a champ that deals with like reflections or reflecting light idk really.

For those of you who cant load the character reveal, I have found that Microsoft Edge seems to have problems with this. Try clicking the options button (three dots in the top right corner) and opening the page in Internet Explorer. This solved the issue for me.
