Let's grind to get Storm Dragon Aurelion Sol together at bit.ly/Buff_Exil
Is there any video of how Riot Games ruined Seraphine.
Would love a video like this for Swain. From Viable pick in Mid + Top (even in Pro) to a Small Rework to exiled to the Bot Lane to getting a Small Update and being Flavor of the month to Re-Exiled to the Bot Lane.
@@snowbiden5472 i still play him top looolll git gud kid
@@gnoblin7320 damn guess he's op then XD
On a small note, there are wukong players unhappy with the rework, as it killed the capabilities of assassin wukong
If only Aurelian Sol was an anime woman, would’ve been fixed immediately.
Lul true
true that brother
and people still playing him think otherwise uwu
So true.
I'm an Ahri main and I don't even remember the last time she was competetive. Even being a waifu who sells skin they will fuck you over
Imagine creating a celestial dragon.
Now imagine forgetting you created a celestial dragon.
@________ I think you pasted your homework on the wrong site buddy.
@@zugzug7437 I think so too, this isn't pornhub.
They also forgot Bard was a music champion because they stated they had "only one" music champion in Sona before Seraphine.
@____________________ Thx m8.
are you telling me to imagine dragons?
I love the feeling of playing the literal creator of worlds and knowing you wont be able to win against anyone in a 1v1
@@Gloomistic the Star Systems which later on feature planets in habitat areas in the end creating life itself..?
The creation of stars tend to result in the creation of planets, as the cosmic dust is pulled together by gravity. Only most of it becomes the star in the center.
😂😂😂 me main a sol and I allways win the lane phase
Yea uh, Asol is busted, and I’m an asol one trick, as long as u really know how to play him, he shits on everyone except zed and fizz and Helmer, n zigs hardest matchups
i bet yuumi could even beat him
Unpopular champs mains: pls riot listen to us :(
RITO: yes, i'll give you this: *seraphine*
Rito!!
Meanwhile Seraphine can easily burst someone with support item: This is fine
He was insanely broken despite his low pick rate
You mean belle delphine? Riot theyr OF wet dream?
Imagine them actively trying to make the most complicated champ in League-history.
And then Aphelios being easier to play than Aurelion Sol despite his 50 million passives and combos.
They tried to make something even more inaccessible and failed despite actively trying.
"I did not speak up when they killed ASol, because I did not play ASol.
I did not speak up when they killed Aatrox, because I did not play Aatrox.
When they came for my main, no one spoke up for me because there was no one left to speak up."
-League player, 2025
My main champion died on the release of Lucian ..and she was revived 2 years later ,then they killed her again after the Mass Assassins Rework back in Season ( Fu*king ) 5 ..
R.I.P. Ashe .😭
I mained Poppy, Yorick and Morde then they all got reworked nearly back to back to back. Switched to Atrox then they got him. and now I play none of them 😢 slowly all the champions I liked are being changed and removing why I liked them. I only play maybe 100 games of league a year vs 1000.
@@SephirothVersus Ashe has a decent winrate history trough the years no? She also is a good counter to senna who is a popular champ at the moment. (Also gives you a little revenge on al those Lucians).
It's exactly whats happening to akali rn
@@justsomerandomdudethatyoud7806 and that is completely deserved. No one enjoys playing against akali.
I like how he comes with a q size of entire lane, but then it hits for 100 dmg.
meanwhile zoe :))))
Thats shows how clunky the whole concept is. Even the most simple thing feels.. off.
@@dobbyas7812 I know (hope) you're joking
But to be fair these things are completely different lol
My brother likes to play asol and just yesterday I was laughing at this exact same thing. He flew with his huge Q across the map and didn't even kill the ranged minions
@@dracosspetentrio6016 yeah. He either needs damage scaling like veig, a faster q, or more damage on it. Really any of them could balance it out. His w doesn't do that much damage, his e has the cool down of a lux ult, and his ultimate also doesn't do much damage, and doesn't provide much in the way of cc. I like how he looks, but good luck playing him outside of Iron.
This makes me sad, because in my opnion Asol has one of the most beautiful designs of the game.
I agree. His kit is the creative and unique but it just doesn't work like it should. As sad as I would be he needs a rework.
His design is what got me into the game.
And I still play him!
He’s great in aram ^^
Balance nightmare
The problem is that he is brutal op or useless. I never saw a Aol and was like „ha that’s normal“
@@amogus205 Yeah, thats the only place I was enjoying him before Ive quit. But even there, a Morgana W or something like that was able to stop you and then your massive Q is gone, you cant do it for a whole minute, in which the enemy decimates you and your team, takes a tower, and keep shoving the wave. 😔
The best part of Aurelion? His voice lines
*Slaps Asol* this badboy can fit so much sass into it
I met the voice actor and he's a nice guy lol He also voiced Madara
@@MrLuffy9131 2 characters that got cucked by plot..........kinda sad
@@saul4058 Actually 3 because he ironically also voiced Obito lol
@@MrLuffy9131 TF? LOL🗿🗿
Asol doesn't feel like a dragon. He doesn't feel like a space god. He feels like a wet noodle
a powerful wet noodle
He should have been an AP juggernaut
@@dylanhelvetios2300 I play him ap juggernaut top lmao (diamond elo), you're 100% right on that one brother (I clearly dislike the roaming aspect of him)
if they ever nerfed my snowball ill quit too.
I was top 75 world Asol since his release as a one trick pony.
My IGN: Wet Space Noodle
Fun fact: The Asol champion page still displays his old W.
Ye, I love watching those displays, Fizz's W is still the one with mark too
look at ezreal's champion page LUL
Same with kench
This is not fun. It is sad.
@@markpridemore7603So you don't laugh a bit when sad? Oh well.
"all hope is not lost"
11 month later : Asol being nerfed has become a community meme.
Better nerf Irelia?
And now they Nerf him again
Riot right now: 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Wait REALLY!? FUCK!
Nevermind the fact that he’s far and away one of the best champions in high elo.
@@OakenTome And nevermind the fact that there's only 10 people playing him on high elo and only those players play asol
@@OakenTome He has a 0.8 pick rate that's fucking nothing
@@checkthebush6500 I’m a platinum 2 asol player with almost 600k points who also plays fizz if the matchup is complete trash, I am probably top 15 asol players because there’s only 15 of us lol
Aurelion Sol mains: "They really ruined this champ"
Aatrox mains: "First time?"
The 2 Aurelion Sol Mains*
Hey, wish they had more Jellal during the show and the opening during his arc was my favorite in the series
Shack players know the vibes
this rlly made me sad
at least aatrox is still usable
If Aurelion Sol gets turned into an anime dragon waifu, maybe he'll get some lo- oh, wait, we already have one and she's ignored too. Feelssadman. :(
truth
Still mad Shyvana didn't win the rework poll. That champ has severe identity crisis and yet was one of the coolest launches
@@scarletvrgames568 People needed to vote for Udyr in order to complain about how he took flight before the rework and now he sucks.
Because let's be honest, Udyr was already ok by the time the voting started xD
It's gonna be Aatrox all over again.
@@sunnydargonnel Oh 100%. Udyr was finally in a good spot after all these years and people just opted to hit him with a rework rather than wait for balance changes..as if Amumu wasn't broken earlier, as an random example. Plus Skarner just does the same thing as him atm..
@@scarletvrgames568 skarner might do similar things than udyr, but udyr just has a shit ton more up front damage.
Amumu was just broken.
20 minute solo baron on 2 items.
good luck with that.
A Sol is the most disapointing release I ever got to witness... His concept was badass, his music theme was out of this world, in his trailer he was crushing stars between his fingers. In game he plays with balls and spit on you for a chunk of damage with his ult
i remember all the leaks and community theories about A Sol (then called Ao Shin). one of the biggest gut punched to the league community
How is a dragon the most disappointing when you are given the choice to a pacifist jungler that's a tree?
At least they did him justice in Legends of Runeterra.
Ao Shin didn’t die for this... I’m appalled.
@@Ayuima69 The pacifist jungler give u more action than the cosmic dragon xD
14:00 basically, imagine an adc that has their basic attacks on cooldown, and can use them for 3 seconds every 6 seconds
Jhin but weaker
And can miss those basic attacks
like... graves?
@@pmangano imagine grave buth that can discharge without a target. because if you can shoot with grave, you hit

I saw the title and immediately thought of how Aurelion sol used to be
nice!
Taliyah gang too
@@wastucar8127 taliyah and asol are two very different cases. Asol got reworked into a champ with no gameplay identity, taliyah just got nerfed into the ground and then ignored
@@bruh3457 aSol has no identity? He is a roaming mage even he cannot clear the wave with a single ability cast anymore, Ahri f.e. can’t do this too but she is still considered as a roaming mage.

Being a Aurelion Sol main helped me a lot at stop playing League of Legends, my life is way better now. Thanks, Cosmic Dragon
Vdbasfbwfuejhkwurb23owrulbqevyo23jydwwy3o24yk jfaa
yo actually, i mained sol and quit lol. Can relate.
Congrats to you bro
They only boost and barely nerf champions that sells skins.
You'll be back unless you want to prove me wrong.
Everytime I try to make honest feedback on reddit that isnt possitive about Riot, it gets deleted by mods most of the time.
They closed forums and in reddit they dont let players say feedback.
Asol aesthetics: godly
Asol lore: insane and top tier
Asol dialogue: *B O O P*
shame that Asol gameplay ain't the same 😞😞😞
I don't even play Aurelion Sol and I'm on the side that they should revert his W change. If way more popular champions went through a wave of feedback that said "undo a change that alienated the character's playerbase" and Riot actually reverted those changes, there's no reason ASol should still be left this distraught. Let the seventeen people that mastered his kit have fun again.
As one of those 17 people, I appreciate you very much.
im one of those 17 people and i thank you for this
As another diplomat from the council of 17 space dragons, I too shall give you my deepest thanks.
@@1merllin1 yup i went into the Sol mains disc and we’re all still pissed about the change
@@komyn27 as another one of these 17 people, I also thank you.
Funny. He was introduced as one of the strongest beings, capable of creating and destroying star systems, yet he's the complete opposite of it.
To be fair, release Asol did exactly that, it just turns out creating and destroying star systems isn't as easy as it might sound lol
@@jinfra- I got a glimpse of his glory back then. He was strong for sure, but his learning curve and playstyle is different from your typical mage. He had a stun, his w as a zoning tool, immense roam capability, and his ult was disgusting. But once learned, the payoff is nice. But it's kinda sad since they advertised A-Sol that way but look where he is now, barely played excluding dedicated A-Sol mains.
Lets be fair literally all the 10 most broken champs in lore are just trash in lol including Asol azir ryze xerath they are all too powerful but look at the game a man with 2 axes can 1 shot them or serial killer can just collect them with collector its really dark comedy 😂
@@mohamedyasser3771 Asol might be weak right now but azir, ryze and xerath are pretty good I have no idea why you classified these 3 as trash, also you can outplay the man with 2 axes or the serial killer my guy. Your team is also helpfull and the teamcomp matters too much.
@@lyrea8111 azir only good in pro play and he got nerfed again its hard for him in solo queue/ryze what are you talking about he is literally a waking trash right now with too weak early game and need at least 30 min in game to do something and rn in this meta the game is decided by first 15 min/xerath only work in low elo players have no macro can't dive and don't how to focus other than that he is one of the worst with the worst stun in the game that is used for attacking only you dont have anything to defend yourself you cant build any defensive item without losing too much dmg you are becoming useless if you try to defend yourself with all the sustain in the game rn you team must work just to defend you other wise you get one shot did i mention you need to hit your combo more than 2 times to kill anyone if you are even with the enemy except for adc anyone can oneshot him
All companies suffer from the "only esports matter" where they only care about esports. That's why most players got away with playing garen yuumi bot for the longest time until esports did it.
Actually epic prefers the only kiddos matter... and i prefer the esport one
Nintendo dont give a fuck about competitive smash. Im not saying it's a bad thing, they're just a company I can think of that actively discourages it's pro play
And I hate it. Most players are in lower ranks. Balance around where most players are!
@@WazoobiumNitrate In the past, yes, but right now? This year and the next have and are going to be the best years for pro smash. Ultimate is getting more balance around pro play, nintendo has their own active tournaments, and are now endorsing, sponsoring, and officially partnering with multiple tournament organizers for Ultimate AND Melee
@@xal7034 what world u living in, ults done and nintendo games aint even at evo now
Dopa complaining about people being boosted is ironic.
I spent the entire thing going... so does every other otp your point?
@@dragonsreingsupreme1 "bronze aurelion can play against a challenger" Yeah right, someone who paid for a challenger account will not be able to beat another bronze mid. Like this whole argument was dumb. Yes Aurelion was a good champ, but tweaking instead of nerfing would've been much better. You got much stronger champs in the game now.
Lmao, he is literally the booster
I always loved old asol but new is the definition of clunky, I'd love if they tried to give him the urgot W treatment where at rank 5 you can toogle the skill.
Wait this is actually a really good idea. lol.
@@Exil22 instead of the skill costing 110 mana at rank 5, actually more than his ult
a genius here.
RIOT
He'd still have a lot of issues imo
like urgot's w in fact
"Just because it didn't happen to the champion that you like to play."
*cries in old Aatrox*
Me, a Swain Player: I mean it did happen but it didn't do anything outside of Flavor of the Month Mid Pick then back to Exiled Bot.
"Heavily sweating at each rework announcements as a Quinn main" (new Quinn tho, didnt play the old but still she is on the edge too)
*cries in old Xerath*
(It's been years but I still hate it)
me as a mordekaiser player: eh. not as bad, new works, but not nearly as good as old morde. miss taking the dragon for a walk.
Cries in old yorick where riot nerfed him so hard he just wasnt a champion in the game until his rework XD
When I first started playing I immediately gravitated (pardon the pun) towards the space dragon for one simple reason:
The sass that this boy brings to the table.
0:58 There was a 2-patch period of time in which Tahm Kench was rendered literally unplayable due to two major bugs, but then also had a bug giving his devour infinite range *in live servers.* While we all suffered, they absolutely refused to fix it until we started megaspamming them about it on all their social media accounts and finally bullied them into making the change mid-patch.
It's worth noting that NONE of this ever made it into the patch notes.
"The virgin League of Legends Asol vs The chad Legends of Runeterra Aurelion Sol. Aurelion Sol is the only 10 cost champion in the entire game. And his stat line isn't laughable. It's terrifying. There is no better combination of Aurelion Sol leveling up and your opponent surrendering." - Bricky.
And he have spell shield which is unfair
owh owhh dont forget now we have MORE obliterate too in the game
Add Azir to that list
Based Legends of Runeterra runeterra lore based >>> Cringe League of Legends unbalanced and incoherent game
@@arthurmerkulov5904 but if you have a vengeance in your hand it's goodbye azir, in the other hand if you try to kill ASol with a spell, he won't be affected bc of spellshield
Sol still hasnt been reverted?
Holy shit, I quit playing 1 year ago and I remember how they destroyed that champion’s identity. He was so cool, and watching a skilled Sol was amazing.
I have only tried playing him after rework and the W not staying is so annoying. I finally get in a good position and my time to deal damage is limited.
Good for you for quitting league. It's been 2 weeks since the last time I played league. Heheh. League is dying.
@@jermanmartinez5577 I was honestly amazed by how outwardly toxic 70% of my games were.
Like I play csgo now, and most the time its silence, “ggez”, and the rare child screaming.
The rework seems to only be good in wildrift where he kept his e allowed him to turn and he got passive movement speed from it and q gave him movement speed also joy stick controls make his stars insanely easier to hit
What did they do to him
"All Aurelion needs is a minor rework like Wukong."
Riot: "Got it. We change EVERYTHING in his kit!"
And make it worse!
When starting League, I immediately fell in love with ASol's playstyle. It was actually the only champion in the game that I felt truely resonated with me. I never found him clunky, at all. When his rework came, I tried others champions... Warwick and Jhin came pretty close to being my new mains but they never felt as... Home, as Aurelion Sol. His passive movement speed on E was super fun but I could live without it. His W rework, not so much. It sucked out all the ejoyment I had in the champion. Reverting that one change would be enough to make me come back, both in that champion, and in the game in general.
YES, this, exactly this
I don't main or even play Aurelion sol, but I just want him to be the badass cosmic dragon that he deserves to be.
Try the card game. He actually feels powerful there
@@finnheisenheim8274 how about wildrift?? Hes actually good there
@@imjonathan6745 can agree
Fk tht lol I want my main to be good on pc again
Hecarim mage
To put it simply, they kind of ruined his identity and didn't bother opting for a revert when the issues he had left next season. Can we agree we would rather have the old Aurelion back for the sacrifice of his roaming?
old aurelion was roaming, they tried to change him into a dueling burst mage
He always was good in roaming, which just begs the question, why do they even want to buff the only good aspect of him and not consider the weaker ones?
Looks at Aatrox... big sad
He already was a roam mage, but he's now yet another burst mage
@@Gabriel-il2kl Revert Aatrox :( I don't care how bad he would be ,just revert him...
The fact that lee sin got the legendary storm dragon skin enrages me. Yeah let’s give lee another legendary and have a storm dragon fly around and say I am a star dragon
In the video:"how they almost ruined him"
In the title:"how they RUINED him
I mean for some people,still asol players, just a preference
Riot won't care about Aurelion because he is not popular, they have shown that they are willing to fuck over a player base because of that.
(Look at Aatrox rework)
Correction: na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/ask-riot-lessons-from-dev/
"After Aatrox’s update, we swapped the primary and secondary goals for VGUs. Player trust became (and remains) our primary goal-even if that means the champ ends up being a little less engaging or exciting for the broader playerbase."
Imagine still complaining about the Aatrox rework when it was a success, the new Aatrox is way healthier than the old braindead Yi that increases his range on ultimate and has infinite sustain. Old Aatrox was either super shit or ultra broken, I mained him 6 years ago. Tired of the bootleg Aatrox mains that "mained" him during his broken state.
@@sauron1414 yup, Sauron himself have spoken truth.
Old Aatrox was a boring af champion to play and play against. It was almost the same concept of Tryndamere and another AA toplaner like old fiora, yasuo, xin and almost everyone else.
Complaining about Aatrox rework is like complaining about fiora's or GP. At least now the champion need some sort of skill to fully succeed on lane.
@@sidradeave even if he isn't that great right now, remember back when his unstoppable on q used to be cc'able? The champ was doomed and needed a rework.
@@sidradeave Its seems you just watched the video and didn't agree with the premise at all. The reason Old Aatrox players don't like Boris ( what they call New Aatrox) is because in no way shape or form does he feel like Aatrox, the only thing remaining of his old identity is a small amount of self heal. He doesn't feel like Aatrox, he feels like Riven 2.
"Oh you all shouldn't complain because when he got reworked, he was stronger"
Ok, then you agree with the idea that the LeBlanc and Rengar players who complained about their changes were wrong. That those were on only a couple of abilites. Aatrox I reiterate, has nearly nothing remaining from his old identity. He went from a sustain tank/duelist, to an AD caster. His character went from an Insidious planing manipulator, whose main frame was "Battle is Elegance", who was framed by those he fought alongside with as a hero, only for those same people to eventually have the Glamor wear off, and realise the atrocous acts that they not only help him commit willingly, but praised him for, to a Kratos knockoff. Literally the antithesis of his character, yes they both still care about bloodshed and battle only, but their approaches are night and day.
Did Aatrox need a rework because of his kit, sure, but in every other rework they have ever done they have sought fir to qt least try and maintain a semblance of the characters Identity. With Aatrox they failed categorically and undeniably.
Just revert his W. All 5 Sol mains will finally be happy, everyone else will continue not playing him, and order will be restored in the world.
All 5 Sol mains lmao
What is his old w? I'm new here
@@chrischeng9145 Mate, I couldn't even tell you what his current w does. He spins balls around, and changes their radius, and sometimes presses a button that gets him to lane faster.
@@chrischeng9145 So instead of his stars doing 3 quick rotations of damage with each star hitting following by a speed boost, it was an ongoing ability that stays up and continuously consumes mana like Anivia’s ultimate. The stars revolved him slower though (shown in the video). This made it so he could easily push out the wave from as early as level 1 and roam, granted he didn’t get the ms boost, plus like Anivia’s ult it would be cancelled by hard CC and silences/interrupts. He was the ultimate solo queue champion for anyone that one tricked him though, even better than anyone else one tricking another champion.
I reckon he should also get a bit of Diana-esque treatment. Put the Q and E into one ability and make it his ult, put a smaller version of his R on Q, then add something new and spicy as his E.
You should do Varus next. This champion surprisingly has a lot of history and over the years with many changes his identity/character comes into question.
Im kinda confused why they didnt pull an Urgot and make the W a toggle after it is maxed.
As a retired 1 million points ASol OTP: thanks for making his problems visible to the community. A revert would be the dream, but I don't think it's happening. At least I would love to see changes to make him more fun to play, and powerful.
RIP
:(
@@sQrLLZ imagine they change asol E to short dash like Ahri R.
@@kaelhazard-4171 Then the Q should kinda be changed. Also the W. Again. The Q for flexibility and W for high damage, depends on the E.
I was so sad when i wanted to pick up Asol and i found out he was reworked like a year ago. It still feels horrible to play that champ
yep it sucks man
Meanwhile A Sol in Wild rift :
I've started playing WR more because he actually feels RIGHT. His damage is rewarding, his trading is rewarding, his roams are rewarding, and he still has clear weaknesses that can be exploited.
The chad cosmic dragon of the infinite cosmos vs the sad space snek
Played wild rift but adc mid lane seems to out range him he has to roam or he loses lane
@@Local_commentor adc mid? What champ
@@ableh7489 lethality jhin? even vayne with knock back
This change was my final straw for riot. He was one of my favorite champions to play and I lost so much enjoyment out of being that boop king in team fights. As the only Asol player in my friend group, he was always a threat when we did custom games to the point people had notepads with my league name and Asol written down. I was not amazing by any means but no one knew how to play against him and they resorted to panicked and forced playmaking which never worked well. Mastering him was incredibly rewarding. One day it just clicked. I really hope they revert the changes but I doubt they will. Thank you for an amazing video about a small community.
Don't forget back in the old days what happened to Evelynn - where they literally _killed_ the champion by removing the stun she relied on for kills and left her terrible for years before fixing her.
Aatrox was abandoned for about 6 years too. Riot has some habits.
at least they make a rework for them which can be considered success base on what we have right now
@@theskywalker8416 What we have right now isn't exactly a success.
@@notwise9455 IDK. Evelyn, well this version is hands down better than the olde carpal tunnel inducing old one. As for aatroix. Hard to say. Ive enjoyed all versions but they definatly fealt like different champions.
@@Niick3015 This aatrox always felt generic to me. He's just some war god now.
Originally he was somewhat unique and his design was brand new to me. I miss him.
Immagine Riot not being biased by how well a champion sells skins
If only they made him better, he would be selling a lot of them
This is literallly how this company gets their revenue. Would you blame a supermarket selling food?
@@Vymere No, but it would feel bad to some people if, for exemple, removed their favorite brand of cookies that actually taste good from the store to get another one that sells better but tastes the same.
@@Vymere I mean their dumbass brought in a copy pasta of another champion just to bank off of kpop because that's an intelligent move.
@@LoreGoshi I don't see the fucking problem with that... Tastes the same, costs the same but sells better. You Always gotta think about Riots employee. They get a lot of money but have to spend a lot too.
If you play sol and there are lets say 10 k player that do play him a lot then you get a skin for 10 player and have to pay artists, code writer, special engineers and so on. In the end its just not worth it, unless its part of an skin line.
,,Dont int in their first games on champion" Shows Jankos Nidalee xD
lmfaoo
Aaaand now he's getting the exact same treatment in Wild Rift.
"Urr Urr, our game's broken rn #BetterNerfSol"
Exactly, right when he finally became useful in patch 2.1a, these fuckers nerf him weeks after, wth
just didnt nerf him, they also nerfed best runes and items on him XD. calling overkill.
i played against sol in rank once this season...that says it all for the poor champion.
"All these reverts"
*Kog'Maw Mains* : and I took that personally
Good old 5 AS Kog.

Ik I might get shot at for this, but I liked the original kog over 5 AS kog
@@silersun4458 it is also nice yeah
Riot: That was too toxic
Also riot: What about a rune so every ADC can be toxic as well?
As unique as he is, I really hate how riot botched ASol thematically. Just at him in LoR, as a comparison.
Playing ASol and Azir in LoR keeps making me tempted to try and play them in LoL, but I don't really see myself devoting the time to it, or being satisfied with the results
God LoR is so good with lore
Riot: CREATES A MYSTICAL POWERFUL BIG CELESTIAL OF SPACE DRAGON
Also Riot: *Forgets it*
What happened? A niche champion made for a niche role excelled at what he was designed to do and that was not ok for Riot
Because he was op for pro play and one tricks
Legends If Runeterra: Is a TERRIFYING AS FUCK
League of Legends: Is literally one of those pets you buy in RPG's
When Asol is on the board in runeterra its basically next game pls
@@wasterzumbody8141 which is how it should be, its a 10 cost giant space dragon god........you play it out late game and its brilliant
@@Droopsnooot and the leveled up version is like playing 18lvl asol with full build when everyone else is level 11 and 1 item
Definitely more manageable now though. Really only sees a lot of play in low elo. Why? Inconsistent. He's a dead card til turn 6-7 minimum assuming you got cost drops for him. Targon's Peak can bring him in, but same thing, inconsistent.
you should see the "cosmic enchantress lulu" skin, her pix is literally baby-aurelion sol. thats how he feels
Can we agree that I'm not the only one who has the bell turned on for Kellen's amazing documentaries
thank you a bunch
Yep!
Of course. Maybe one of my favourite UA-cam channels
Same
Can we please get this version back?
As a Aurelion Sol main for the past 3 years all i can say is that season 11 is probably the worst one for him, literally every item is bad on him and he's losing to every matchup, in last season he had a really strong meta with electrocute and glp but now Sol is totally useless without any place in league, it's kinda sad to see that good concept with unique mechanics be thrown to the trash can by riot
aurelion is as useless as Xin Zhao?
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 I hope this is irony.
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 Xin is really strong now after "mini rework" with his current W and E
@@user-zc6yi8st9f pepelaugh
@@ayrin7863 pepelaugh indeed. Xin Zhao being viable in both top and mid as well and destroying most matchups
I wish Aurelion Sol's w worked more like Urgot's W, starting on a CD, but then making its way to a toggled ability
this would actually be a really good middle ground. have w give a burst of rotational speed to the orbs as the expand then slow to original as they reach full size, and have the CD start at like 5 sec (after it expanded and contracted) and at max level have it be a 1 sec toggle
@@ikxalenull7 or make him get more orbs later in the game like urf but nerfing the damage early in general or exclusively versus minions and making him start with 3 so he cant get that waveclear before lvl 5-6 where champs like tf or malz have a chance. They can nerf e cd and speed but remove the mark the enemy sees, making a good roam more rewarding and having a chance of punishing bad roams. Also his q needs damage nerf but longer stun duration in shorter range to compete versus assassins. I think that would make him a well rounded champion
Have every a sol m7 vote on if they want a reset or not and see what happens lol
I would be okay with this. I think Riot would be okay with this too.
That's a decent late game idea son
"Just because this hasn't happened to a champion you like to play..." *cries in yorick*
And Swain!
Bro, I main Asol and yorick D:
old ryze main back when he had a real soloq ultimate
I just want my kench jungle back, they benched my boy pretty hard
To those who commented before me. In my opinion which you don't have to agree on, neither do I on yours, new Yorick and new swain are better but tahm kench tho... I loved his solo potential. And ryze! Yeah, remember ukting three times in a single teamfight.
Also new Sion is best Sion.
I love how you can make a documentary that sums up some patch notes and their effect and make it interesting to watch. Keep it up
An ASol vid brings tears of joy to my eyes. I played him ever since release, inted the first 20ish games, and had to forget all my other mids at that time to play him well. Good times
A-Sol’s Q tickles. His W not having the toggle ruins the point of the ability. His E is on too high a cooldown. His R tickles and is like a small af range weeniehut jr. version of Lux ult.
It's all a setup for the W tho, the Q gives you movement speed to engage and allows you to reposition mid fight, same for the R. I wouldn't mind both of those if the W felt good.
Lol i like how he actually changed the video title from "almost ruined" to "ruined"
Ive always been good with asol, even after the rework. I did like the burstiness of the new rework, but like most I missed the sustained damage. In my opinion, aurelion sol would be better off reverted or tweaked better than what was given. One major thought if youre not going to give him his sustained damage then have his w add more stars every time he levels up his r, similar to what happens in ure but not as crazily. Another idea is make it to where the rotation of the star (passively and actively) increases every 100 AP, not majorly just enough to make a difference late game. His q as of now is lovely but its difficult to generate the size requirement in most gameplay, and for when you do get it to grand size, the damage is disappointing. Like the stun, it would be nice if the damage ramped up a little bit the bigger the star went. His e, for the love of god, a damn fish on a stick gets invulnerability but a dragon flying high over the stage is literally smacked out of the sky? Wtf? I wouldnt mind the distance traveled be shorter, I mean I rarely jumped that far, mostly did to get to areas faster. A cool thing to add would be something like start all. When he reaches his destination or is cut out early, he makes impact with the ground, dealing area of effect and slowing enemies. And then his r. I would go with turning it to have a similar effect as the everfrost item with a conic range and a line where its most effective. Keep the conic rance to the maximum that is currently there, but extend the bar range out just a little bit more for a spicier trickshot. Also the return of the movement passive would be appreciated. I dont understand why that was removed at all, you literally had to move in a straight line...
Here after Riot decided to nerf Asol AGAIN
ao shin.. i remember when they teased him and i was like - A FREAKING DRAGON! with water and wind stuff? i want him! and then we got aurelion sol:I, i likem him at start but he got incredibly weak bcs of meta being assasins and his unability to do anything to get himself free without ult, and then they changed his stars:I
used to main him. like many, I quit after they reworked his w and called it a "buff" lmao
So true. It's the same for me and Taliyah. My first season of playing ranked I ONLY played Asol and Taliyah. I was able to reach diamond and despite the nerfs to them im still able to reach diamond with TF thanks to (Ironically) Dopa's vods and learning how to play TF. I miss season 7 :(.
I have to say, I remember how annoying was to play against Aurelion. But that was not a bad thing imo, it added a new dimension to the game.
I learned to ward correctly as a supp thanks to Sol. I learned to save skills and mana thanks to Sol. I overall became a better player because of him.
I went from wanting to dodge any game with him on it to not caring at all...
Today's new champions are worse than what Aurelion used to be.
@@Vaark Annoying? You mean op? A champion that doesn't even need to care to learn basics like wave management, warding, ganking, resources management, etc. A champion designed to scale, but with an early game better than early champions itself. It was not annoying, it was broken.
@@ignacioariellopez8491 then play any melee assassin and fuck his life over. Very easy answer.
@@therion4225 Never said he was op right now, in fact, he is really balanced in terms of skill/reward. However, few years ago A Sol was really, really op cause of the things the video already said, and you people dont seem to accept that fact.
This video braught me some solace. As an avid A-Sol main, this was comforting to know that at least a few hundred thousand people know about the desolation riot did to this champ.
As a Veigar main and a wild cosmologist, I can tell you that killing the creator of the Universe with a literal chunk of primordial energy which he obviously had to use to create everything is something... beyond.
I forgot this champ existed. Legit haven't seen him in solo q for 2 years.
Remember when Riot completely REMOVED Twisted Treeline? Yeah, I'm still trying to get back into the game since then. I was an avid 3v3 player (literally only played 3v3s for almost 4 years). I feel betrayed and ignored by Riot.
same i used to love it, it was perfect for when you had 3 people in a lobby or if you just wanted to play a shorter game-mode that wasn’t aram. Riot never gave it a facelift or even balanced it like aram and they wonder why it had a small player base.
I used to play teambuilder almost exclusively, and i left when it was removed. Only came back recently
That made me quit & after the item changes I definitely don't miss LoL, besides I am a D1 LoR player instead of a G4 LoL player
When 3v3 first came out it was amazing it has such a werid map, then twisted treeline and that was diffrent but grew on me the same it has such a odd meta to it compared to dominion aram and Summoners rift, I was sad to see it go.
How about dominion ? This gamemode was fun as hell
I've recently picked him up and I'm having a lot of fun learning him, I feel like he's one of the few out of the box champions League has released and is this game's version of Abathur or the Vikings in hots or Oracle or Earth Spirit in dota.
Also, the bit about the champion being changed hit me, I've been missing old Urgot ever since the rework and new Urgot is just way too different. I'd love for them to do a revert and slight rework to make him less of a "useless or absurdly overbearing" like he used to be but alas, I'll probably never see him again
to be honest, i really enjoyed playing A.Sol before the rework..
the things i liked is his Q change, where you can tap it quickly to stun champs near you.. and his E where it's not charges based on how you move..
I’ve stopped trusting Riot’s game balance abilities after Seraphine being in the game
and viego...
@@jivanian.-.9538 so many bugs 🙄🙄
Her range is the size of a lane lmfao
Why's that?
I extremely agree on gusto but seraphine?,why?
And fizz
These days I only ever play Aurelion in urf, cuz then I can have his stars out as much as I want, like how it used to be
Urf Sol is so fun, especially with gaining stars at levels 6 13 and 25. Level 13 powerspike feels so good, even when everyone having more movespeed makes it harder to position abilities properly.
@@zehk7963 the stars shouldve been kept to buff him and not just make it an urf exclusive
sadly, urf ended not long ago :(
is it coming back btw?
And now they fully ruined him
Yeah I used to love occasionally playing Aurelion Sol. But his change just absolutely made him even more unfun to learn. A simple revert would be great
Sol is my favorite champion, but he got gutted hard. He deserves some love, because he is in an awful spot rn
i fell you brother
@@stormdragon2529 u guys have same pfp lol
Same
On wild rift mobile version if league he is OP bruh because the map is small
@@brdon2099 he has the unfinished art of the skin kek.
The virgin league of legends aurelion sol vs the CHAD legends of runeterra aurelion sol
As a Runeterra player i can confirm xd
LoR ASol is basically:
"Oh is it turn 10 already? Give me your nexus."
Asol in LoR is garbage. He was used for like a week on release and then dropped for tryn/trundle in basically the exact same deck.
@@KeijiMaeda86 tf u talkin about? Asol/Zoe demacia was one of the tier1 decks in high elo before the grand plaza nerfs last month
I rarely play Aurelion sol because it isnt a suptle "i won" after the level up. Getting Aurelion to level-up is just saying: Use (at least) 8 mana or give up now (suck 1 dmg and summon a spider + kill a unit).
Karma in comparison just denies the enemy hard with some comps and if she survived about 3 rounds, you already summoned or cloned her at least twice.
I didn't know asol was ever OP. He's universally been considered a troll pick and a failure in champ design. Even the stick figure spotlight on the world stage portrayed him as a complete joke
Riot would sound like this: *I understand about your issue playing as Aurelion Sol. But don't worry, the pink-haired banshee will be fixed next patch.*
Not gonna like, sometimes I genuinely get angry at how Riot words their patch notes: on the Samira nerf they wrote specifically "even when technically close to balanced, we believe she has several frustrating attributes that contribute to her high ban rate", which basically means that in their opinion Samira was perfectly fine and we were just bitching, but here's the nerf and shame on us for making them nerf Samira. Sorry if I asked you to nerf the 96% pick/ban ADC in competitive because it was genuinely impossible to play against her Riot, my apologies.
@@tehrik0020 that was after they nerfed her
Riot, the type of guy to fix a broken engine with a duct tape.
ò#.-
@@tehrik0020 that's exactly what happened when the entire community " litteraly EVERYONE " for 2 years was asking riot to bring back URF after it's first release ..and some people including myself even asked to make it a permanent mode and not just an event ..after 2 years of yelling at riot everywhere to bring URF back ..rito responded like this : " after two years of many of you has been crying and whining about urf we are bringing it back for 10 days ..and we have no intentions of releasing it Ever again .." end of quote .
And they didn't even bring URF back ..instead they brought the stupid ARURF only to tease us more and force us to hate the URF event .
To quote skooch:
Some yasuo player: riot Aurelion came at me in lane
RIOT: nerf his movespeed NOW.
i think this is the best thing ive ever read
"Riot, Aurelion Sol kinda walked at me a little bit fast."
"He did *HUWHAT?"*
Which video was that? I watched it long time ago but id love to watch it again
@@ThePrayable sett video
Altough my champ is fine rn, riot did listen to yorick mains, even though not popular by a long shot, by making the maiden ai change where it comes back to you faster now. This was super helpful and even now almost a year later I still am thankful for it. It's funny because my brother is an A sol main so I got lucky and he had to re learn his champ
My main champion already was but people seem to like the updated version more.
For me it was Galio, I miss my gargoyle pal. He was the first champion I learned a flash mechanic on (R flash) and he was just a really fun kiting champion you'd use your Q and E to bob in and out of fights until you could go for the burst play with your ult. It was really fun. But he was hard countered by stuns lol
This is a problem with all eSports
When a Pro crys, a Hero dies.
Coincidence you have a bastion pic since overwatch feels awful for this the past 4 years. My least favorite has to be how most of the healers feel nerfed to the point they cant defend themselves that well and should instead evade until their tank or dps deals with it.
Fuck the bastion changes man. He used to be so good in season 1. The rework absolutely killed his reach on turret mode.
@@skiedev I love bastion as a character in the game, I'm a tank and healer main XD, and I have seen all the mercy changes xD, and no tracers changes or ganji onces,
This is the reason there is lack off healers and tank in overwatch, cause Blizzard only makes heros for dps players.
irony is that dopa (the dude complaining about asol) is probably the most hated person of riot and if he actually stood by this theory that asol would be perfect for boosting, he would play asol himself. dude is not a pro player but just a good booster and would probably do anything to make his job easier. pro players don't actually have a problem with him in most cases, because nobody really plays him in pro play anyways.
True, this is a problem in a lot of games, what is the point of caring about pro players balance opinion?
They follow all the same path of "keeping everything like It was before so I dont need to relearn things"
As an Aurelion Sol main who still plays him frequently, thank you very much for shining some light to the issue! It really means a lot for me and for the whole Sol community!
Im not a-sol main but, hope riot take what u guys want this champ to be.
I agreed
This is true. I'm not an Asol main but Rito need to do something about Asol. He is the worst champ to play right now because of his multiple nerfs. A lot of champs can counter Asol and he is the only champ that can't hide in Bushes.
1 year later and I can't help but question how in the hell we went from King Cobra's excellent analysis and fine-tuned, pin-point break down of how ASol's power should be redistributed, to "Dragon's breath fire."
Lowkey, I think that they wanted to make asol more skill expressive. Technically, yea with the new W, he is more skill expressive. However, asol is already so niche that they didnt need to do that
I'm not an Aurelion main, but I'm so damn salty about his W not being a toggle anymore.
Honestly when I first saw A Sol, I immediately thought of IO of Dota 2 since both have those spiraling orbs around them, the diff is IOs is much more manageable since it goes in and out, in which I think A Sols stars should be also like that too...
Carry io is best io.
Zoe q and relocate sounds like a wet dream for me
Yo it actually caught me off guard not only seeing anklespanking but babyspanking of all things. Dude really deserves more views and subs for the content he pumps out
His w change remembered me when they transformed Valor in taxi during those class updates
Could we get a documentary regarding Swain and his fall from a top/mid battlemage that relies on damage over time with decent sustain to a support/ APC cheese that relies on burst trades and lack of sustain besides ult due to a series of changes from his rework?
Hard agree brother. The Season he got Reworked he became my most played Champion out of nowhere, he was SO fun playing Mid + Top as BattleMage and now he's exiled to Bot Lane even AFTER the Small Update they gave him to be better Mid, which still feels awful Mid.
He became Flavor of the Month Mid, Riot patted themselves on the back and now he's Exiled Bot Lane again.
yeah he's basically dead without Rod of Ages
Quit bullsh*t, he is one of the best mid/top laners this season, some silver players picking him as support doesn't mean anything
@@ferchemac180 lmaooooooooo
His Top doesn't even pop up in Op.gg because it's Pick Rate is so low and Mid is lowest Pick Rate of his 3 Roles that are popular enough to pop up.
Current Swain is basicaly Vladimir that sucks.
And then there are champs like viego, yone, akali, etc that can be 0/5 and still 1 shot you even when you have level and item advantage
Akali got nerfed to the ground though. Only recently her buff made her a bit more viable again.
@@starryskies279 Keeps killing you when you have lvl and item advantage
I love it when a support Pyke executes my full build bruiser with Randuin's and Steraks at half health
Ah yes, the 0/7 Yone who killed my 15/0 Trundle that´s a good flashback
Rito has their favourites :/
I own 2 very amazing asol skins. I keep forgetting i have them because i go through a cycle of forgetting asol’s w rework happened, finding them in my inventory, playing a game as asol, and then swearing off him till i forget again.
when you look at asols abilities in the league clients champion tab it still has his old w in the description and the video
yeah I saw that some weeks ago. Riot gives a fuck on him
God, that reworked literally pushed me away from ever wanting to even try to play a sol. Sad to see him like that, such a cool champion concept :((
His kit doesn't justify his lore. He's supposed to be this OP dragon capable of destroying the universe itself. And they gave him a sneeze as an ult.
Moar like a loaded cough
I did a 100 day challenge with Asol before the rework they did to his W.
The way I play him now is super safe, I can’t just press forward into a teamfight with W up since I have to wait a few secs for the CD once it pushes out, sure the burst of movespeed is nice to reposition, but in an assassin meta where u blow up as a mid range mage with Zhonya as your only defensive tool, it’s hard to be consistent
I want old Volibear back... Min maxing his pullover head move and E semi stun semi knockup was so fun to learn/master
