When the German was asked why he didn't like Aurelion Sol said: "Vel, Koz I really don't like dragons."

What's the point to having his Star's be visible in bushes?

I feel like that removes a huge vision play element that no other champion has to deal with in a negative way. Evelynn can go anywhere and not be seen, but he is almost always seen no matter what he does. To me that seems unfair to Aurelion Sol. You want to recall in a bush, nope because the enemy Lee Sin will know exactly where to Q and hit you based on the stars. Any other champion would have a chance to recall safely.

SHENSE15 votes

I don't think it works like that. Things like rumble's or sion's Q aren't visible from outside a bush (unless I've missed an update). I don't see why Aurelion's passive would be treated differently.

TheCauthonater4 votes

It is though. there was a post on the PBE about it last I saw.

Center of the Universe (Passive): [no gameplay change but tooltip now specifies - "The Stars can be visible to enemies even if Aurelion Sol is in brush"] http://www.surrenderat20.net/2016/03/315-pbe-update.html

SHENSE15 votes

All right, in that case I feel like that needs to be changed. Especially if it's like some spell effects that can be seen even when you don't have vision of the area.

ddogd122 votes

Yeah I agree as well. No other champions stuff can be seen, so why will his be?

Yumeii8 votes

Because he's extremely arrogant and believes no one can truly pose a threat to him. So why bother hiding from such insignificant beings? After all, he is the... wait for it... Center of the Universe.

On a more serious note, this is probably a good question to bring up during the Q&A for balance purposes.

Just think if an enemy champion was close enough to a bush to be hit by his stars, they would be taking damage from an invisible source and that would be incredibly unfair

ValiantDogFood14 votes

After the first hit he would be revealed.

TheCauthonater6 votes

Perhaps, but trying to flash juke when your being chased can be pretty instrumental in surviving, but that's a large element of game play he simply can do, and they can see it from much further away. The W ACTIVE probably should be visible, but the passive should definitely NOT be visible unless you are being hit by it.

HaruTheDoggo11 votes

Yes because being hit be invisible things isn't in the game Nunu Nunu Nunu

doesnt stop it from happening from sun fire cape?

Ziphoneon4 votes

if anything, they should have his stars come back when hes recalling, when he gets knocked up they return to him.

Empol15 votes

When we he be officially released?

I would also like to know this

Grimnir819 votes

That's actually my only question right now. Looks like a great champ.

PeponiPoro2 votes

That isn't a question Riot willingly awnsers, though. They always are wanting to tweak the champion and balance them somewhat before putting them on live. There really is no telling how long bugs could delay his release. The earliest he will come out is when they ship out the next patch, which, if they are following schedule, should be Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday next week.

MegaCharizardY722 votes

"......balance them somewhat" Yeah Ekko was very balanced when he came out. So was Tahm and Illaoi. Lol

PeponiPoro2 votes

That is why I said somewhat. PBE isn't perfect, the playerbase and thus data provided is extremely small compared to the whole of us.

Ordor Secin2 votes

Why you make them seem so slow?!?!summoner 3 I would most definitely prefer LoL being fast. summoner 6

I'm guessing maybe next week. :)

I really like him as a champion but i have one issue. Why does his ultimate feel so anti-climatic. To me it feels as if his ultimate doesn't make sense with his character or his kit as a whole. Being a star forger his ultimate should, in my opinion, have something to do with a star, like consuming his 3 stars to form a black hole/ causing an explosion, not just a line of damage and a knock back. Would really like some feedback on this.

MLT11 votes

I completely agree. To me they need to change his Q to his R and his R to his Q. I love the fire breathe, hes a dragon after all, but its so anti climatic compared to his Q which has the potential to grow as large as the dragon and baron pits combined.

Catsix7 votes

I TOTALLY agree! I was thinking the same thing. His whole kit kind of revolves around his stars whether it be expanding their range, throwing one, or sucking them up and flying as one, then his ult is like... huh? No stars, not tied to his kit at all. Its very anticlimactic, it really doesn't feel "dragon-y" Its almost supporty rather than powerful. The damage isn't even that great, definitely not the kind of damage I'd expect from a Star Dragon.

Dannywolf3 votes

Agreed. His ult is called Star Fire (i think). It needs more oomph befitting of a dragon's space fire. Space fire is pretty hot, guys. Because stars are hot.

Ziphoneon3 votes

i agree, his ult should be a little more devastating, maybe if it was a cone or longer range and could hit more units, or if you charged it like poppy, it would knock them back farther?

FlameHalbrdOkido4 votes

A black hole wouldn't make sense because Aurelion Sol creates stars, and he considers doing it a work of art, the stars are kinda his children, it hurts him to see them destroyed. A black hole is a dead star, he'd never kill his own work. The reason his Q is what it is, is because of balance. He needs that stun on a short CD, and it was made with comboing with E in mind. THE ult fits in the kit due to the fact that it works with W. Besides the breath weapon has almost always been a dragons Iconic weapon, that's why its the ult, its starFire breath

Didn't he crush a star in his release video?

Hi

SHENSE16 votes

hello to you good sir! How might you be today? Would you like to hear a shen pun?

SHENSE17 votes

It would be shentlemanly to respond.

Grimnir816 votes

I'm going to kick you in the shen.

DarkKumane2 votes

(below 2)boy were you wrong...

WitchKing0073 votes

That shen will require some attenshen, as he was kicked in an awkward posishen, causing a quick reacshen, in which the kicker replied with repulshen.

Sooo... if everything in the universe is made of stardust, can Aurelion Sol create and bring back Graves cigar, using stardust?

Harashumi6 votes

Will Aurelion Sol have any relations to bard or soraka because they are celestial beings?

Snow Kangaroo2 votes

If you read the Lore of of Mount Tarrgon, you'd know the only champions that affiliate with him are currently Pantheon, Leona, and Diana. They might add more champions to the Lore after his release.

eztarg3t2 votes

I'd still think he has some form of a relationship with Soraka . Considering he's called the star forger and soraka is the star child. Plus his taunt towards soraka. But with nothing truly solid, it's just me theorizing.

ModKagenoOu2 votes

Actually i think he has some relation to bard it talks about his relations to ancient creatures from the beginning of time or w/e

geez, so many people complaining or wanting Ao Shin. it's a scrapped project, people. get over it. I, for one, am glad to finally have a real dragon in league. no offense to Shyvana but half dragons just don't cut it in my book

HANDCANNON156 votes

everybody shut up and let me be excited for a freeking SPACE DRAGON hes cool af guys calm down! i check every day if he has been released im so hyped! item 3027

CrimsonCrime6 votes

On a side note, Will Riot ever consider using these lore's to create an animated series? I mean with all these lore's, ya'll could make the sickest show out there.it will help people understand the lore more and be more involved. Kinda like Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokémon. I Honestly believe it has the potential. Its just food for thought. If you disagree I understand. Any thoughts on this guys and gals?

Scyther20002 votes

I totally agree. There is so much epic back story put into all the champs, and all they do with it is written articles and junk, but it could be so much more.I also think a comedy thing, sorta like Red vs. Blue but with lol, would be awesome.
