Ao-Shin Aurelion Sol - An Ultimate Skin

Nrsh·10/2/2018, 11:46:30 AM·123 votes·23,615 views

I'm sure that most people already heard of Ao-Shin, the champion concept that ended up as our favorite star forging cosmic dragon. I'm also sure most of you saw his amazing design: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/16/feb/aoshin1.jpg/RPSS/resize/760x-1/format/jpg/quality/90 Now, many were left with a bad taste in their mouths from the ToysRus Aurelion skin released this year and I think we can all agree he deserves more, so how about the next ultimate skin? Let's get down to what I have until now:

Passive - Aurelion's stars are lighting balls, they can look like Kennen's E on his base skin

or like Blood Moon Kennen's E (just in white)

http://es.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Kennen-E-Lightning-Rush-1.jpg

Q - Instead of a star Aurelion throws a hurricane with a lightning ball in it's center, looking a bit like this:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/suggestion/images/6/61/Ao_Shin_concept_art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151213213933

(of course the hurricane won't be as tall). Stunned enemies will have an electric effect on them.

W - Not much to add here, altough the lightning balls can be like Kennen's base skin E and when W is activated they can look like Blood Moon Kennen's E to show they are going faster and are doing more damage.

E - Aurelion travels as electricity (like the form he is in in the storm in the art added in the Q description) srounded by storm clouds. The marker for the target location can be a little storm cloud.

R - Aurelion shoots out a lightning from his mouth, enemies pushed away by the ult have an animation of a wind gust blowing them away, enemies slowed by the ult stay charged with a bit electricity for the slow's duration (they look less charged than when hit by Q).

##Extra Stuff:

Unique Ultimate Skin Feature - Every Ultimate skin has a special feature to go with it (like DJ Sona's music for example), so this one needs one too and what is more fitting for a weather controling dragon than a different weather in the battle field?

My idea is that this skin will completely change the map it is played on making it stormy (I'm talking Snowdown levels of map changes, if possible the weather will even turn more stormy based on Aurelion's killing spree) and making Ao-Shin the announcer. There will be a special option to enable Ao-Shin Aurelion Sol's map changes when using the skin which will be turned on by default and one to enable this skin's map changes when the skin is used by another player which will be turned off by default.

Joke - Aurelion breaths out a small cloud, then creates a ball of lightning in his hand and puts it inside the cloud, making it a storm cloud, it begins to rain and Aurelion puts his hand under it and starts to talk:

Mononlogue option 1: "All storms bend to my wi(ll)..." gets cut off by the cloud striking his hand with a lightning "Ouch!...Grrrrrrr!" Aurelion destroys the cloud with an angry hand motion.

Mononlogue option 2: "A true piece of ar(t)..." gets cut off by the cloud striking his hand with a lightning "Ouch!...You ungrateful little...!!!" Aurelion destroys the cloud with an angry hand motion.

That is all I came up with until now, feel free to give me feedback and share your own ideas for the missing parts / improvements on existing parts.

Nrsh ooout.

I like the idea to bring Ao Shin back as a skin for Aurelion Sol. But I think it is highly unlikely that he will get the next ultimate skin. He isn't played alot and I think we can assume that from this point on, ultimate skins will be given to the most popular champions in the game to get as much out of it as possible.

Another point for me to keep in mind: Ultimate skins are supposed to show the champion in their most powerful form. They all feel like an upgrade to the base champion. Ezreal has a suit instead of just his magical glove. Sona is a world famous DJ. Udyr managed to finally control the animal spirits. Lux can control all elements instead of just light. And Miss Fortune has a hightech suit instead of just her 2 guns.

Ao Shin, at least from a lore perspective, would feel like a downgrade. He goes from a star forging space dragon to a storms controling dragon. At least in my opinion, forging stars beats forging storms. If he ever gets an ultimate skin, it should maybe play with the idea that he broke the chains from Mount Targon and returned all of his power. Something like an "Unchained Aurelion Sol".

Ao Shin would make more sense as a legendary skin for me.

And I actually liked the new Mecha Aurelion Sol skin, but eh. :/

I thought about this the other day. I love the concept!!!

TalontedM710/2/2018, 3:05:29 PM6 votes

This could work with the weather concept in mind! But a more likely outcome would be that this ends up being a legendary and there being no special ultimate skin effect at all. Either which way I can definitely see him getting a skin to pay homage to his roots at some point in the future, excellent concept!

Great idea, very interesting idea brining it back

Would be awesome to see a skin that pays tribute to Ao Shin.

Really intriguing concept.

Man, that's a really cool Lux skin :D

Šhαco10/3/2018, 12:19:08 PM2 votes

should be a legendary skin tho,

LdegIfxZqN10/2/2018, 3:55:37 PM2 votes

Or, hear me out, we just get Ao Shin like originally planned and not the steaming pile of shit we have now .

Adumb Asol10/2/2018, 3:19:04 PM2 votes

I love love LOVE this idea, sol has been top tier for literally most if not all of season 8 and he deserves a better (ultimate) skin. Wishful thinking however. I also bet that riot is looking at this post laughing too, "hahaha, silly geese, why would we EVER make an ultimate skin for someone who barely has 1% pick rate?" Scoffing intensifies

The DrBonjigollo10/3/2018, 6:22:29 AM2 votes

I'd love for this to happen! Buuuuut I'd also love for riot to release Ao Shin as a completely different champion. A dragon with a long tail but he walks upright. Idk probably just me, I'd settle for it just to be a skin though.

Link McNoot10/2/2018, 5:37:52 PM2 votes

Really love this idea, but as others have said I feel like this would more so belong a perhaps a Legendary skin than an ultimate skin, and I feel the weather changing concept might be a tad too cpu intensive. I do think this would make a great addition to the Thunder Lord skin line they started with Ornn and Volibear though.

ISmeelChees10/4/2018, 11:58:56 AM1 votes

has noone else really not recognised that ornns skin is a nod to ao shin?

Sukishoo10/2/2018, 5:39:33 PM1 votes

Legendary somewhere down the line maybe, but even then it's very unlikely he'd get either of these upper tiers any time soon.

As for an Ultimate no. Those have clearly been for much older champions from the beginning of the game (2009-2010 era).

Please change Shaco E to magic damage again Shaco

ModJango Mage10/2/2018, 7:27:33 PM1 votes

Too sad it will never happen, cuz there never will be enough sol players for that. Really like the idea tho!

DeracadaVenom10/2/2018, 7:39:07 PM1 votes

Good concept!!! I doubt it would happen but if it did I’d definetly buy it!

RekSaii10/2/2018, 10:59:35 PM1 votes

For A-Sol getting an ultimate skin is a joke...and as much as i love the skin concept it simply won't happen, however for your Ultimate Skin game changes i do love, a skin physically changing the way a map looks would be insane to play as, but i doubt Riot would do such a thing.

RIOT sempai please give us a good skin. [sg-soraka]

Dicerson10/3/2018, 2:53:07 AM1 votes

I feel this would work much better as a legendary skin. Every idea here is solid except the unique mechanic, which would prove immensely difficult to implement on riot's end (It took them awhile to make the snowdown map, and even then they cut out much of the work by just applying a texture filter to most of the map. Imagine trying to do that one on the fly (perhaps literally) mid-game!). Just the new particles, new voice, etc. would be more than enough, I feel.

SettDownShutUp10/3/2018, 2:57:44 AM1 votes

Would definitely buy this.

Aureliôn Sôl10/3/2018, 7:48:41 AM1 votes

As a Asol main I can say this skin would be a really good idea
