Hmm, they've certainly nailed the space part, but I feel sort of let down on the dragon part of the fantasy. Hopefully it's just Riot not showing off the gameplay that well, but watching the gameplay none of it really felt that dragon-like.

His E and R feel pretty space-dragon-like to me; flying across the map and breathing space-dust on people

He's nothing like the last champ in terms of WOW effect.

Sorry Riot, I'm rather unimpressed. Vel'Koz filled that niche for me and I feel it's Velkoz release all over again. He's not even as pretty as the tentacle baby.

He doesn't really fit either theme as a dragon or a star forger I think. He doesn't seem to forge much. Also...throws the heart of a new born star? Really? I know abilities can't always match their flavor text in terms of how much power is being described, but that takes the cake. The discrepancy is rather silly I feel. Throws a ball of plasma or something would be a bit less ridiculous I think.

'Cthulu warps the entirety of reality to damage his opponent in a small area with a delayed stun.'

I wish I wasn't in class so I could watch the abilities.

I'm gonna spoil one for you; his E makes him FUCKING FLY.

I read the descriptions. Sounded like Sion's ult if he can't turn but go through walls.

Seemingly he picks a location and just flies across terrain to it, being stopped by any damage. That's the active portion anyway.

I thought he has to run straight first?

Sharjo1 votes

Yeah he builds stacks of "Escape Velocity" by moving in a straight line and when he has enough he can use them to fly.

I think it's good. I was hoping he would have as capability, Cnut honestly he looks amazing, he may have skipped leg day, but the outcome is amazing. I'm happy we finally Have our Dragon, good job riot, I think I have a new main :)

What a stellar splash he has! Truly we are witnessing a star being born at this very moment!

Man he really puts the light in spotlight.

I'll be honest. I feel like this should have been a rework for Irelia, at least the passive. When Irelia was first revealed this is how I imagined her; telekinetic blades constantly spinning around her to damage anyone they hit.

I only recently discovered who Ao Shin was but this looks like such a fun champion to play. Just wish I was on the PBE so I could test him out. From the looks of it he seems really strong. Possibly a great jungler with his e and movement passive. The stun seems the be really great for ganks too.
