[@R3dgarnet]

Agreed!

[@TheWarriorXander]

The more stacks you have, the easier it becomes to consistently get those stacks as the execute threshold on the E and the Q % damage keep increasing, so having the big ult will be more common as the game goes longer. It's really going to reward players who farm efficiently and roam a lot, since they'll be able to keep up that ult stack more and have a larger impact in teamfights.

RoA, Archangle's, and Rylai's sound like a super solid combo. I don't know how the gravity thing affects champions, but I don't know if it specifically slows them. So if a Rylai's can compound their inability to get out of the E, on top of making the Q easier to consistently land, I think that might be a busted combo

[@northwind6199]

E does not slow, it drags. Drag speed is not affected by slows, so getting a Rylai's will make E pull champions into the black hole much more effectively.

[@chuckmanion1128]

I noticed that his Q gathers stardust per second hitting champs. So high AP burst will only hurt them for a short period. Going a little tankier though will prolong the fight potentially meaning more stardust. It would give more stardust scaling and bring the big ult up more often. I think RoA will be great on him for this. Along with Banshee's and/or hourglass, depending on your opponents. Also would point out that the E is a drag effect, not a slow effect, so it stacks with Rylai's

[@tap_the_profile_to_Dm_..__]

Thanks for watching, got something for you 👆

[@titusfortunus2916]

Yeah, but the E gives stardust per second of champs hit AND stardust per minion or monster that dies inside of it. it's way more consistent to farm stardust with E on creeps. I wouldn't even consider the Q stardust bonus as a sustainable farm. 1 wave of creeps is 7 seconds of direct Q, 8 seconds on cannon waves (remember, only each CONSECUTIVE second gives stardust)

[@shinygamer3424]

[@anigodzapex9384]

We could see him Building the Triple Hp Item strat again. Before Mythic Items, he went ROA, into Rylais, into Liyandris and building ROA, into Rylais, into Demonic is almost the same thing Know.

[@d.ml.g9902]

One tip for anyone out there to play A-Sol: If you put the E first, then make half the ult go in the middle of the E, that way they have no option other than take the ult if they going away or forward towards you but continue to get dmg from the E plus the Q. Also, if they go to the sides, same situation, no other opt than to take some form of dmg. The same applies if they are going away, just move forward with the Q or put the E and then Q. A lot of people are saying he lost his identity as a Control Mage and is more like a Battle or Burst Mage but from the stacks and the range of his abilities, he is still terrific at controlling spaces and objectives.

[@crateudemedici]

let's wait until a commentator says that on a worlds tourna

[@runeweaver5926]

But hasn't he always been a battle mage anyways, so it's not like he has lost the identity, he has always been classified as a battle mage, I'd know cause I only play that class

[@d.ml.g9902]

@@runeweaver5926 To some extent yes, but he was always about control due to the stars (specially the old W where you could have them speed up infinitely if you had the mana for it) and the Q, plus the ult to knock them back to the outer range of the stars. He was a hybrid of control/battle until Riot gutted him and just made him what he is in live servers.

[@runeweaver5926]

@D.M L.G I don't think you are wrong by any means, like I get your reasoning, for that, but I think he was always too low range to really be considered a control mage and his form of control is low threat as apposed to someone like syndra. His battle mage title comes more from his close range consistent damage, I always felt he was too telegraphed to be a control focus mage cause he left too much space without being much of a threat. All in all I'll miss his orbs to an extent but he rework is amazing and I'm so glad I can get my hands on a scaling battle mage other then cass and ryze

[@hyewonlovebot]

[@mukamuka0]

6:46 yea from watching trailer, I don't even know that Sol ability was made to combo like this..!!

[@ttuurrttlle]

This seems really cool. I always really liked the original concept playstyle of Aurelion Sol with his orbiting stars, but I thought they didn't go far enough with it to make it feel fun. I thought that to make the stars more interesting, the stars should have been a substitute for his auto attack. So he couldn't do a normal auto attack, but his stars could hit towers like autos could. Like have the stars orbit closely around him like it does now, and buff the stars so that you can direct them better without actual movement, like make clicking on a target fire a projectile star at it and have it damage things while it arcs back to you in a "orbit" before you're able to launch another star. Maybe getting more stars with attack speed or as you level up, and replacing W with some ability to complement that better.

[@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA]

A batlle mage-assasin with good area control cc resets and execute…yeah they nailed it,but they also had to take his balls in exchange 💀 (Also a quick tip Zwag,using Q mid flight will slow you down alot so don’t use it until you’re close to your target and there aren’t any minions/monsters in between you and your target or else you’ll just slow yourself and not hit them and they’ll just get away and you’ll probably die like at 22:15)

[@travisb2842]

With his movement, execute, and single target damage he seems like a good kit for Jungle. Farm up, fly over a wall, drive by their health, and execute burst at the end. End game team fights you focus on having your big ult up or maneuvering into the backline and chunking their squishies.

22:30 actually, Rylai should be great on him, his E doesn't slow, but drags the enemies closer to the center, so if you have Rylai they will have less movespeed, thus making it harder for them to get out of the E range. Not to mention how strong it seems on Q. But stopping to analyze it further, it doesn't seem like the Q needs a slow, its direction can be adjusted pretty quickly and you can move and fly while casting it, so the enemies getting out of range isn't that easy.

There are a few things it'd like them to fix about Aurelion that it's kinda uncomfortable: 1. If you're Q is max rank, that means it's supposed to be infinite. So when I'm flying in W while breathing fire, when the W finishes, the Q also finishes, and that's kinda meh. It shouldn't stop once you finish moving, it should continue to breath fire in the same location you stopped. 2. The W shouldn't cancel the Q. So I think it'd be more interesting that if while you're using Q, you can press W to fly without interrupting the current Q. Idk why but I thought that's how it was supposed to work the first time I saw it and I don't know why it's not like that because that makes a lot of sense.

[@sethb3090]

I've been looking at the stacking, and it looks like you need E for stacking early game. Q only gives 1 stardust per full second it's on a champion. E gives 1 for each enemy that dies in it, so if you E the wave and kill all the minions in your E, you get a stardust from each. Prep wave into E, or using EQ to push, are your best ways to stack early game, though EQ leaves them open to hit you. I think that early start is probably important, since I noticed you only had 6 stardust at 6 minutes here.

[@thedangman2003]

People may say he is op with this skillset. I respect their opinions but I will have to state mine as well. He feel balance with the stacking system. His new Q and W is amazing and unique, and, can be counter with stuns, knock-ups and suppression effects, which, are taken for granted by so many champs nowadays. His E is just the best thing ever as it simulate the effects of a blackhole. I don't think the execution threshold is op because to be honest, champion with nowadays are getting more dashes. In the meta with full of champs amongst which the newest champs are getting simultaneously 2 dashes, 4 dashes, terrain dashes, follow ups, and cc shields, his E feels balance as it can be dodge easily. I would recommend that the power-up ult to condition 75 stacks at fist, maybe 90 at the second time, 120 at the 3rd time, and finally 150 at the 4th time for all the later on power up. New late-game Asol can easily stack 75 stacks in the matter of seconds given enough condition, minions and JMs. Other than that, it's balanced

[@ViperDivinity]

I feel like his gameplan in early is quite simple Stacks on enemy minions or cannons with E as many as possible (preferable if the enemy is in the radius of the black hole for more value). If Enemy mid laner tried to contest the CS. Punish them with Black Hole or Breath for stacks. Thanks to Aurelion's fast waveclear. He will be able to gank really fast without losing too much. Despite having weak early game on paper. His gameplay is quite simple and yet effective.

Loved the rework! Finally Sol can be a champion that can be played! Also loved the gameplay man. If u used your E more to farm (minion, monsters, wtv) instead of your Q to finish them, u would get so much more Stardust. Hope we'll get more Sol videos soon, now that you know the tricks :D

[@djBurgers]

Can you combine collector and his passive like pyke ult?

[@DedikateSSB]

i bet aurelion support might be pretty decent with this, his passive and the spellthief gold passive thing probably sync really well

[@GPS08]

Interesting choice for Ludens, but would make more sense with Liandry's. Looking at his new kit, I'd say Liandry's > Demonic > Archangel > Rylai's > either Rabadons or Void. But Ludens doesn't make much sense here.

[@SaitoHimea]

Viktor's field used to pull enemies to the center and slows them before the stun when upgraded, now it only slows before the stun

[@grandis_]

Can you flash trough the asol ilt wave? Like flash to the centre to nit get hit by wave

[@uberhabib]

Havent played league in a while but I love the asol rework! Is everfrost still in the game? If it is I imagine it must be broken. ( this would 100% drag them to the center of E and make u get 1-2 seconds free fire with Q)

[@newmanwolfry1630]

Seems hella fun and cool. Maybe chill out slightly with his flat q damage and/or the max HP damage, or maybe give him lower scailing on it in the early game so that there's more clear counterplay, since the q alone feels like a bit...much, but other than just numbers balancing, this is looking like a warwick tier rework.

[@Archinemi]

Every time I see you fly in, all I can think is lead with E then Q, then you don't cancel it and you get the slow and stacks. I'm so stoked for this change. Sol has always been a. Fav of mine. I'm excited that he won't be so damn awkward.

[@VitorAntas]

Aurelion's new ult feels FANTASTIC to use. And it's not entirely free damage, seeing as each use of the empowered version demands you to restack it. To be honest, his numbers feel overtuned, but that's expected and can change with proper balance. I just wish the empowered version's shockwave would also increase with permanent stacks of stardust, would make more sense as the impact zone increases as well.

[@PotatoGuidanceMissle]

At around 13:40, Zwag’s realization of how cool and broken Sol is with infinite scaling is pretty funny. “Oh, no.”

[@juanin200]

I've got a joke going with my friend about every champ's Q, everytime I play something new I say "what does the Q do? It throws something, of course it does". I'm glad to see this Q is more of a laser rather than a proyectile (although it's still range so my joke remains undefeated)

[@fenril6685]

Zwag, I'd love to see you try an everfrost on this new Aurelion.

[@goitidanielaser2167]

I quit League but this rework will bring me back for sure. I have to play this epic dragon. He was my main once but he was so bad so I quit playing him. I love what they have done with him. My boy got some love. This rework is art. One of the best I have ever seen.

[@ArrowVI]

He looks really fun, was thinking RoA, Seraph, Rylai and maxing E in lane sounds kinda better to me for waveclear ngl, cant wait to try him out

[@skullprince8939]

Am I the only one who liked the old one better? The old one was actually very unique and focused on mage mobility. This one just feels another burst mage. I don't know why everyone thought the old one wasn't unique.

[@iamf8891]

is it live?

[@Spork.]

Sol was the login screen when I first tried league of legends. I was a kid and thought he looked awesome so I bought him but I never got the hang of him. Started playing league again like a week ago and I’m exited to give him a try with this rework.

[@destinychew3220]

liandry and demonic plus rylai might also work?

[@ahmet862]

"it keeps increasing the area, oh no" 13:31 XD

[@superhirni6816]

I saw your other aurelion vids just recently and really liked his mechanics with the rotating stars and wanted to try him out. I don’t like that they took the stars away. To me he looks kinda like a rumble now

[@Nazghul1425]

I kinda miss the orbit already ;; to some, it may be dull but i enjoyed it. It was a curious way to take down opponents. Maybe they should of left it? Or did something curious with it.

[@onemoment6769]

13:02 "Do we have a new karthus?" Oh, that's ominous.

[@OrderShar]

This Rework is going to be amazing to see what people do with it, but I don't think that damage on ult is gonna quite stay like that

[@ZapBlaze]

my only issue with the rework is that the active abilities feel like they would have been better on transformed Shyvana... it's a question of what fantasy the character is selling. Shyvana is about the carnage a draconic transformation can give, where as Asol is selling the idea of 'space god' who just happens to be a dragon. i dunno, it's super cool, it just feels like it's on the wrong champ.... that being said, Asol probably does need a rework. i just don't think this was it. they kept playing up the fact that he was a dragon, which is Shyvana's thing, not the fact that he was a spacegod.

[@gaze2156]

The E might effectively be a slow, but since it's actually kinematics (like Rell's ult) it will STACK with slows. Enemies who get slowed by Rylai's will have a harder time resisting the pull.

[@joey1772]

Love how it really feels like you’re playing a dragon, sorta like how Warwick feels like a ravenous werewolf

[@OriginalMeat]

Try him in the jg maybe? His e absorbs stardust from enemies that die inside it and you got 9 stacks from killing raptors, paired with your w over walls for ganks and farming

[@Infamous_wu13]

Nerf Aurelion sol is actually not a meme anymore
