I take it back, AURORA is GOOD. Here's how to POP OFF with HER!

[@PlasticAndBears]

Not many know this, but pekin used to main aurora for a season or two back in the day

[@SkigoOSRS]

I've been waiting for someone to notice this.

[@Salem_TheUmbreon]

I remember him in season 3 talking about Aurora's ap scaling and how her Q was like a Lux laser

[@mythcommunication3220]

24:50 I like how you can see the little pause of Pekin thinking rylais was the biggest mistake of the game

[@CycleMantis]

Yeah but he would have been caught wayyy sooner on that play without the slowing

[@goblincleaver01]

That moment 24:25, everyone must have seen the angle, and they just… didnt. Wild that not even one of them died lmao

[@mikelezhnin8601]

that's comedic genius right there XD

[@_Onlime]

9:05 That kill was so satisfying to watch

[@PetitGarry]

Yeah she still feels clunky I don’t know, she needs QOL changes. On top of that, she has very low AD so CSing is a pain, and you always ran out of mana. She does not need buffs, just some QOL.

[@efp5986]

I knew I was tripping about the cs’ing I’ve never lost so many canons in my life

[@drewcurtis7226]

Proud of you Pekin, I know plenty of people are asking for another series and I was thinking a AutoFill to challenger would be awesome!

[@garytwohands1772]

me: a casual rylai's enjoyer pekin: who would ever build this

[@BernardoEspina-x3l]

I play Seraphine who gets a huge powerspike off of Rylai's but don't buy because it doesn't have the stats I wanted

[@angelicoz]

I honestly wish that Rylai was kinda like Black Cleaver, but for mages and AP bruisers, and instead of giving yourself move speed, it slowed enemies. Probably a bad idea tho

[@lami.77]

24:35 that is illegal. how tf nobody died there. you did everything perfectly. i think that you should take back what you said about taking back that Aurora is weak.

[@Kiriba2003]

You can see the pause right after when he realized that by buying crystal scepter he forfeited most opportunities to kill anyone

[@CycleMantis]

I think he probably gets caught and dies before casting ult without the slows starting from 24:26

[@aheahe7943]

I really do think overall she's a great design but her kit is severely lacking. Her Q is fine, her E is fine, the pain points really are W and R. I feel like W should do something more than just 1.4 seconds of invisibility. Shaco gets more damage, Vayne gets more damage, Evelyn is permanent, Akali restores energy, Aurora lasts 1 second. Until 16, the second part of her ult is almost unused aside from rare setups and you can always accidentally misplay yourself into the enemy team right as her ult ends. The fight at 24:22 pretty much sums up all the issues with her in one neat clip.

[@emmas1366]

i feel like her e sucks too. its cast time is really rough but if you cast it first you're out of range if q. both her damaging abilities are just little lines and it feels super awkward

[@Voxirius]

@@emmas1366 Skills not flowing fluently into one another is what makes her feel really clunky. Cannot recast Q immediately after hitting, like a boomerang skill would seamlessly return. Even as it travels to its max range, you need to wait a tiny bit and that is actually rather annoying. Cannot W to gapclose and instantly cast another skill. The gapclose travel is slow and you cannot cast during the hop, you are visible while hopping. Have to finish the hop to cast your next skill which gives enemies ample time to position to dodge. Cannot Q during E cast which is rather lengthy. Cannot Q after E unless you walk back during E's slow but having to do that just feels very clunky and gives enemies time to line up their skillshots vs you as you approach back, as well as more distance to dodge more easily if you don't gapclose in time during the slow. Can Q into E but that's harder to hit. R is strong but takes a little getting used to which is fine. Overall, she is great at toplane vs melees imo, insufferable to play vs longer range enemies like control mages.

[@aheahe7943]

@@Voxirius id have to agree as well. i said her q and e are fine but after playing her more, it definitely feels clunky and I've been left in situations where E doesn't land and you're just dead. her E can actually feel counter productive to her kit. if you're being chased, the LAST THING you should ever hit is E, you're just asking for enemy to catch up. the little hop back gives no actual distance in relation to just walking and everyone knows where you're doing when you E. even against toplane melee, it's only some matchups she's good, if she's against shen or tryndamere who can dash on her E use, she's just dead. and to go in more on her R. they intended for her to be toplane but last minute pushed her mid because the way her kit works, she can't top very well. mainly because her ult. why would a squishy mage want be locked in an arena with a tryndamere or mordekaiser, illaoi or sett. yeah you can poke them down in lane but the second they get one mr item against you, they can tank your poke and just run you down. her ult dashes do nothing and are extremely telegraphed, the second you dash into wall, sett can just line up the center of his W with where your little orb is about to come out of and delete you for 800 true damage. I still think, overall her Q is fine, just needs an adjustment on the delay between the first and second casts. i mean briar can basically instantly press W twice for a massive heal and massive damage, combine it with navori and it's one of the thngs that makes briar so fun to play. but the delayed Q feels awful, especially when the second Q would literally save you from dying or secure the kill.

[@cxiuart]

9:05 that was hella clean

[@itsuckslol7046]

Honestly if her didnt last the span of a sneeze it would be way more useful, I kinda just use it for the damage most of the time.

[@PekinWoof]

Rank 2 and 3 you can use it 3 times or 4 which is pretty good. Rank 1 yeah is short af

[@jordanoharegibson1610]

24:57 eclipse diff that shield was massive

[@beckhampang191]

I realized that Aurora W is better off being used to jump into the wall than towards the enemy in your ult. Her little hops are all about trying to hit the outer wall in the first place

[@Sado10]

I really love this champion, she is so much fun to play and if my jgl is decent we win this easy :) I play her top, poke A LOT and then my mana is just enough to backport with the enemie or to even get a kill, i go "presence of mind" instead of "absorb life", because of the mana gain when i poke him. I hold my ult until he is pretty low, to ether kill him with the ult or to hold him close to get him with a AA,Q,E combo.

[@suuujuuus]

Very good!

[@LawsofPaul]

She needs random QoL things like being able to recast Q while CCed(like Zoe can), improving the terrain reading on some of her hops, and making her R targeting more intuitive the way every zone ability currently is. Currently seems fine but clunky(and buggy).

[@GrimmReavr]

Also a heads up - your spirits don’t reset the cd until you get another one (a full 3 hits) so you have to keep proccing it to keep up the stacks - not just hit abilities/autos.

[@PekinWoof]

Yeah I'm aware. It's near impossible to keep it up without insane CDR or Nashors

[@cooleyzz]

24:55 you should've build the full damage build to do the nasty. Sorry my man 😢

[@UserLeoh]

I expect an official formal apology from Pekin to Aurora for the hateful comments made against her.

[@jeresalonen7643]

We dont apologize to females

[@Salem_TheUmbreon]

@@jeresalonen7643 and judging by your looks, you rarely get to touch one either

[@Nerdality_Florian]

27:45 - The tooltip is REALLY underselling your self-healing. According to the wiki, Aurora heals 3-20 (+2%AP) per second for 4 second per spirit (up to 4 stacks). With lvl16 and 263AP, that should've been roughly 93hp/s. That is 37% MORE healing than Ocean soul (67hp/s) and a ridiculous total of 160hp/s.

[@ErisianRomantic]

13:03 I knew knew knew Xerath was gonna strike at that bush. Good on ya for not doing.

[@FortexVize]

27:20 her healing is massively underrated.. the longer you can stay in a teamfight the better it gets (of course if you hit your ability) thus it also stacks with the amount of enemies hit.. you did a ton of healing there haha.

[@suuujuuus]

haha 😂

[@ErisianRomantic]

Does her 3 hit passive have a CD? Cuz if it doesnt a nashor tooth/on hit build seems like it might be good on her?

[@daleanddale]

Lebalanc game let's gooo! I wonder how Conq would feel on her? The Rylias looked pretty sick there.

[@auroraguadoni9609]

To me the best changes for her to feel better to play are: - having the hop with her e to double tap the key - make her ult last a little more lvl 1 - make the q ricast a little faster - for mana, no changing to mana costs but making her passive’s spirits recharge some mana along with health Do u feel these are good QOL changes?

[@PyroFortune]

just buffs across the board?

[@beckhampang191]

Twofold hex is honestly one of the most feel good abilities in the game.

[@KingJerbear]

I know her abilities are pretty different, but she reminds me a lot of Lillia, the way you kind of move in and out of engagements and rely on your movement hopping around

[@williambrewer3150]

I think at 26:53, you had four spirits, healing 368 over 4 seconds, so technically it was outhealing soul. I wouldn't discount it...

[@brettlovely2012]

The passive healing doesn't stack, only the bonus movement speed. 1 spirit or 100 you heal the same, like, 10-30 hp per second.

[@williambrewer3150]

@@brettlovely2012 I could be wrong, as I'm referencing the wiki, but it does seem like healing stacks linearly with spirits. Movement speed seems to be what doesn't.

[@brettlovely2012]

@williambrewer3150 yes, I was confidently incorrect and I apologize for misleading people. I thought for sure it worked that way, else I would have checked. Sorry about that.

[@TheGodFather640]

It would be super cool if you record watching vod with things like this hecarim situation.

[@nfzeta128]

27:51 if you only have 1 stack. If you have 3 stacks its better than soul. I'm not sure if refreshing one keeps all alive though or if you have to keep readding them to keep the stacks up as they fall off.

[@danieltrujillo4611]

Stacks only increase the move speed boost, not the healing

[@nfzeta128]

@@danieltrujillo4611 it increases both, you can have up to 4 going at the same time. At max level it's 80 base healing per second with 4 spirits running, but it also scales with AP.
