Aurora - A 200 Years Champion? Or Perfectly Designed? | League of Legends

The new champion Aurora has been teased and is scheduled for release soon so as per usual with any new champion, I'll be giving my first impressions on her kit. She might be the most annoying champion I've seen in a long time.... who's surprisingly fairly designed.

MY favorite part about Aurora has to be the amount of cooking that has been happening with people trying to figure out the right builds. She can build bursty with stuff like Luden's, can take AP bruiser items like RoA and Liandry's, and all the while having a kit that supports Lich Bane and/or Nashor's Tooth as reasonable purchases. I fear for her numbers cause riot games, but she's actually a really cool mage design. Feels almost like a mage/skirmisher hybrid as opposed to battle mages generally leaning more towards mage/juggernaut.

[@cynt4416]

I bet she can build full adc

lillia eep, as lillia main, in addition to 10 others, I will say there is nothing more enjoyable than running in circles around your opponent at 140%+ move speed and healing a lot with 30% max hp dmg ever 3 second, then you put them to sleep and then wake them up by hitting them on the head (using w ) with 1400+ damage and they cannot do anything, a feeling that I will never forget

[@ldalexandrite]

@@OmarAhme-w3h ever since people started building her full dmg it has been really fun to oneshot her out of nowhere too

[@DerangedDurain]

I think that even though Aurora has 2 damaging abilities, her Q has a very high damage ceiling. Her Q can only hit once on the initial cast, but if you hit an ADC point blank with her Q while also having a bunch of enemies behind them and then recast, you have the potential to absolutely melt health bars with all the repeated hits from her returning Q and passive. I think that's where the true power of her ult lies. If you can land a Q on a bunch of enemies, how can you use your ult to reposition so that you're hitting a squishy target for massive damage?

[@alexandrubucurica1709]

well yes but usually adc is behind the frontline. unless you are flanking, the situation should happen rather rare

[@Gorecatto]

​@@alexandrubucurica1709Should, but this is league, only three things can happen -They have no frontline in the first place -The frontline is splitting -The adc gets caught out

[@FrostRend25]

as someone who mains control mages (Ryze, cassio, anivia, lissandra, and vlad), she does not feel like a control/battle mage. maybe it's just me, but I feel like having tons of invisibility and mobility takes away from the power budget of doing DPS and having sustainability, which are the two most important parts of a battle mage, with cc coming in if they don't have as much DPS. invisibility and multiple dashes are very weird for a battle/control mage and it will lead to poor balancing.

[@PhailRaptor]

My fear is she's going to be more like Akali once people figure out the combo. Which ultimately means that on paper she's going to be balanced, but in the hands of someone who's brain just works that way she will absolutely 1v5 after 2 items.

[@RafaelGarcia022]

Well, she's not a control mage. That's a hardly defined category as it is, and not one of Riot's own. She's definitely a battle mage - her focus is sustained combat, focuses on magic damage, and has healing in her kit. She is likely intended to build hp and ap, and she's probably gonna be a good RoA+Lyandri's+Riftmaker user. Her lack of CC is made up for in movement, which is not the worst thing ever

[@fishrepairs6400]

vlad a control mage??

[@FrostRend25]

Just btw I use control and battle pretty synonymously when referring to this type of mage.

[@LuxminosityBoy]

@@FrostRend25 the way I see it is: Battlemage: Vlad, Cassio, Anivia, Lillia, Ryze, Viktor... In essence, low range and low cd abilities with ways to kite Whereas Control mages would be: Orianna, Syndra, Anivia, Azir (kinda), Lux (kinda), Hwei, Seraphine, Ziggs (kinda). The main reason why riot does not consider this one of the main sub-divisions of mages is mostly due to overlap with other classes, as some of these are already battlemages or even poke champs, however, I believe people tend to use the Control mage tag on champions that are really good at map control, choke points and zoning enemies off. They urge enemies to make a decision whether to continue foreward or look for another angle, as no one wants to go through an Ori ball, anivia ult/wall, lux E, Ziggs W/E, Hwei E+w and Q+E etc.

[@novanomi3362]

I would much rather have this then another vladmir or extremely high speed mobility assassin like leblanc or ahri. Shes an AP skirmisher, like Lillia.

[@dylanhelvetios2300]

She have as much mobility than Akali

[@azurabbit12]

​@@dylanhelvetios2300 she has a bit of movement speed from her passive, one short dash that resets upon a takedown and an E that pushes her back a bit, then her ult lets her teleport back and forth in a zone for a short period of time, if that's the same mobility as the champion with 4 dashes (3 of them being pretty long range) to you I don't know what to tell you

[@bioraidos5454]

What I like most about Aurora is how her kit is really lending itself to build variety. You can choose to go full burst, on hit attack speed, or damage over time with her, and I think it's actually quite wonderful in that regard since you got build and playstyle variety with her. Fighting against a mage with the same range as her? Any of those 3 play styles could work. Against a champion with a lot of dashes? Well if you are not feeling confident in your skill shots then go either damage over time or better yet AS on hit. Fighting against someone with more range than you? Go damage over time to wittle their hp down. It's really nice and refreshing to see a champion that allows you to experiment and not pidgeonhole itself into a niche.

[@kurooaisu]

Interesting. Aurora seems to be a fair champion which is going to be underpowered at release. Now, let's see how she is doing in a certain 'rule' site.

[@geodashbusboy197]

I think Aurora is gonna be one of those underestimated champs. She’s gonna be fairly weak early, but after a couple items, she’s gonna come online and during a teamfight, will proceed to 1v3. Another thing not touched on much is that attacks also count for her passive, which along with the bonus ms from her passive, her w dash/invis/ms, and her e self-knockback kiting, will be able to keep that online for quite a while unless expressly targeted by an assassin. She has potential but will also take quite a bit to learn her combos and how to properly keep her uptime consistent.

[@kraftyevan]

Im gonna be honest the new champ designs being overturned and not overloaded makes me a bit sad. They should get more creative with their designs, don't give hybrid, true, cc, damage, etc. Just do some unique stuff we haven't seen before, crazy mechanics and gimmicky characters. So many statchecks and auto attackers :(

[@bonic7217]

So like aurelion sol with his orbiting star mechanic that rewards good positioning. It was really fun , unfortunetly pepole don't want to learn a unique playstyle for a champion and would rather get a duble kill by holding q.

[@withersheep9009]

Ngl shes given me lillia vibes and since I started maining her near the start or the season Im super excited to force Aurora into the jungle :D. I think she feels more AP fightery than pure battlemage since her passive really incetivises always be going in and hitting someone and she has a ton of shot range dashes perfect for dodging skillshots up close.

I suppose you can take the literal meaning of unplayable and say that anything that does not break the game(ie bugged release viego or poppy exploit) is still playable, but i am going with a more colloquial definition where unplayable means serving as a significant detriment to ones team compared to all alternatives.

[@Relhio]

She seems simple and generally pretty balanced. People lose their minds over her ultimate, but it does so little for herself besides just being a survivability tool, that I don't think her base kit has enough damage to be a threat. She just feels like a battle mage that focuses on survivability more than anything else by just staying invisible to wait for her cooldowns.

[@harz632]

Fuck hypermobility, it makes it impossible to balance, because either the hyper mobile champion is overpowered or doesn't do damage and non hyper mobile champions need even more raw damage to compensate for the lacking mobility, especially when the damage i on a skill shot, and while hyper mobile champions can dodge skill shots so the high damage isn't that noticeable, immobile champions can't so you need to give them tank stats, that's why mages who are often immobile have 3.5k+ hp to make up for the lack of mobility.

[@Shovelchicken]

She looks fine, as long as she’s not played top.

[@dimondsi]

I think they're tipping their hand again about stealth. Her stealth isn't meant to trick you much, just give ambiguity for landing skill shots and complete immunity to anything on target, plus an ekko sylus mini dash. And in a game where a 2 second stun means death, 2 seconds of immunity matters alot. The rest of her kit is inoffensive. Her ult is a slightly bigger Veigar E with damage on it. Her Q is an ahri xayah q, fitting of them all being vastaha I suppose. She has a small xereth Q with a caitlyn push back. The stacking movespeed is questionable, being a mix of zeri and lillia, but the slower stack speed and more strict uptime requirement seems like a good counter weight. I know I'ma have fun with her kit. Long fights with lots of evasion is my comfort zone. But I don't see her blowing up the game in any major way. She's not Ryze busted, just mild and inoffensive

An item that could be purchased by anyone. Aurora's invis is moreso about getting away or buying time. Not so much ambush and surprise. You essentially use it to get a more advantageous position when you otherwise wouldn't get anything. Overall I think Aurora is a good champ design and a very neat idea for a battle mage. When was the last time we got a caster that could build lich bane and nashors tooth?

Duskblade was also instant. Aurora needs to wait for her hop animation to go invisible and then you also get to see where she landed

[@tranngockha6562]

​@@dresean3725 Agree, the "get to see where she land" is the best part of this. A fair counterplay perk. It give her a good tool for survival and positioning without being too powerful.

From the perspective of a Zoe main, this is not annoying enough.

[@coolbrotherf127]

She just doesn't seem to have much damage early game. She scales well, but if she falls behind in lane, she'll be useless for a while.

You are wrong about the utility of her ult. That ult is a more instant Camille ult that can jail more than one champion who doesnt have a blink or cc cleanse. In teamfights an ult like that is huge specially if you catch an entire team with it. Its like Irelia landing a 5 man ult. Even if she dies and doesnt manage to deal any dps if she does land a 5 man ult the amount of *instant* cc that is causes the whole team can alone win a team fight.

[@chrissymomo]

Landing a 5 man ult with her is much too comp dependent to flat out say it will win the team fight. There are enough champs with cc disruption/spellshields or team comps that want to fight within close quarters too make that claim. For team comps that want you to get close to them so they can get on top of you, her ult is probably a major bait and shouldn't be used to engage.

still wondering why viktor does not have %hp dmg

She feels very similar to Lillia Playstyle feel and perception wise Both Lillia and Aurora aren’t as intimidating to see compared to their peers in their respective classes

[@blacklustersoldier684]

She looks cute, that's enough for me

[@Andrea-wr5wd]

imo she feels more like a mix between Ahri and Viktor than a battlemage her CDs are kinda long so she doesn't have that kind of costant damage,nor she's particularly tanky just very mobile looking at her numbers she seems pretty weak especially midlane where 90% of the roaster will outrange and outburst her,i just hope she doesn't becone a cheesy toplane pick edit: actually thinking about it she seems extremely underpowered something you never addressed in the video is that she effectively doesn't have any hard CC which is a massive deal for a mage,so even her supposed safety isn't as much as it seems like like she can run a bit faster but compare that to Syndra having a fuck-off button

Aurora is a Vainglory character
