Is, Aurelion Sol, no longer the protector of Ionia??

Just saw that video and he doesn't seem to be this peacful guardian of Ionia... more like some powerful killer dragon. What the heck man! I thought they just changed his name not his lore/personality. Did I miss something that I should take a look at?? :(

Um, no, if aurelion sol was just another dragon they had in the works, Ao shin was mentioned being cancled because Riot didnt want people to be like "This dragon came before Ao Shin?" They chose this timing to let us off easy.

But Aurelion sol is no way Concept related to Ao Shin. its like saying Shyvana is inspiration for both... it just isnt true.

You know that champions go through multiple stages of designs? Look at ekkos early concepts,some make him look like a sort of grim reaper,some early versions of him don't even look human https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8e/65/af/8e65af088e413ae1777721d3ebed6529.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/d5/29/82/d529822a82b0170e07e3251d4f9e159e.jpg

Similar Jhins original concept was "robot cowboy"

Champions change a lot during development and this time they simply wanted to make a dragon champ and Ao shin was just the first of many ideas.

Riot Meddler said himself that Aureliol Sol is the reworked version of Ao Shin, that was also the first time that we heard of the name

Good that you finally caught on.

He doesn't look like a dragon... at all. His face is flat and he has a human-like thumb. I'm preparing myself for Aatrox-levels of disappointment here.
