Why Chovy’s Aurelion Sol Is Strong From Lvl 1

[@LoLDobby]

I usually watch the proview of the pros, but Chovy's play is fresh and surprising every time I watch... Build】 www.deeplol.gg/champions/aurelionsol/build/middle Chovy's proview】 kzbin.info/www/bejne/moXNf3mFnaqggtE

[@petrikillos]

Chovy is just insane. He plays extremely aggresively and forces the enemy jungler to focus on him, and then he just outfarms the enemy laner while getting camped. And if the jungler/mid communication is not the best, he outright wins 1 v 2 lanes. This guy's just different.

[@calebwilliams586]

The fact that he can force a 2v1 while outfarming really says it all

[@eggs_tm]

pro players are a different breed. it's insane to think that challenger players are a part of the top 0.1% and then these pro players are just 100 times better than them

funnily enough I think the best example of his excellent landing on Asol is Game 2 of the 2024 LCK spring grand finals. He is against faker's orianna and I remember him forcing the orianna to back and tp to lane either at level 2 based just from W+Q trading patterns

[@TheShadow7771]

It definitely looks wrong

[@adolphin9348]

​@@TheShadow7771It is a known mechanic that riot has designed that way. First patch rework Asol used to have no CD on tapping Q, and it lead to all kind of weird plays (stacking kassa E, getting quite a lot of damage from the support item that gave your ally's abilities bonus on-hit while building tank Asol, etc). Now, like the video mentioned, tapping Q has a 3s cd. It can be reset only by using W, which has a huge cd and is the only way of escape (plus additional damage) of Asol.

[@unadax221]

@@adolphin9348 Tap-Q has cd of 1 sec, at which you can't beam more. 3 sec is just a regular Q cooldown

[@Shingeki__]

Chovy is a complete player and its crazy. I never thought I'd see someone out pace Prime Faker as far as gameplay (I still think Faker is the better shot caller but thats pretty much fact). But to see someone master so many concepts of the game and put it into play against the best is insane

[@rolandegidiusimon7768]

i don't think Chovy out pace Prime Faker at all. They are different players with different pros and cons. But Faker is his Prime had no one challenging him. He was a total monster of a player killing you in lane everytime. What Chovy does is just farming a lot. Even now after 11 years of league Faker still has better shotcalling and macro movements around the map. For me Chovy is > Faker in lane but Faker is far superior in macro.

[@simone8172]

@@rolandegidiusimon7768 Faker is the all time GOAT hands down. I don't think anyone in their right mind should dispute that. With that out of the way, the single biggest reason Faker was so uncontested in his prime years is that players were just worse. I don't in any way mean to put down on any of the players from that era, but it's only natural that as a sport evolves the players get better. So much of what people see as Faker getting worse is actually just the rest of the playing field catching up with him (and even sometimes passing him) after years of growing up learning from his gameplay inside and out. I'm a big Faker fan, so among my reasons for stanning the guy I'm always gonna say he's a good shot caller and influence on teams (see what happened to T1 last year when he was out. Literal world champions to bottom of the league) but in terms of everything micro in and out of lane I don't think it's a stretch to say Chovy's surpassed Faker's prime.

[@jkfgvgd]

Chovy can shift playstyles but Prime Faker shifted metas. I hope after today victory against BLG Chovy will get confident and get his first long derserved title

[@bharatcarballo5144]

@@rolandegidiusimon7768 Shaker always played the most brainded champions, the ones that can easily make it out alive while also gettin' a kill or two while doin' so: ahri, zed, fizz, azir, orianna, syndra. now, that was "Prime Faker", so what does he do now? exactly the same. he's still "Prime Faker", plays almost the same picks as "Prime Faker", but now that people actually learnt the game, Shaker is nothin' but the cringe slug he's always been. everyone can play such cringe, cheesy picks and win a lane. everyone can play azir, press R and make a "play". bringin' up his "shotcalling" is so irrelevant and whack since the OP already said they think Shaker is still the best shot caller, so what's your point? it means you actually also agree Chovy is better, you just can't accept it as the cringe Shaker fanboy you are. Shaker was "good" when everyone else was just too bad. he was "good" when cringe 200 year champions could teleport all around the map, get kills and go back to base safely. just go take a look at his Viktor back when T1 fought DRX at worlds or how he performs when the enemy bans all his 3 picks (T1 vs BLG at MSI this year). truly the performances of all times.

[@bharatcarballo5144]

@@jkfgvgd "Prime Faker" is just a terrible fantasy of his fanboys. League of Legends was still new and fresh, people had not fully learnt the game yet, so of course Shaker was "outstanding" in comparasion of the rest of the bots. but the "GOAT" wouldn't be sht on by Bin (or everyone else at this point) in a 2-3vs1 a few days ago at the MSI if he was ANY good. he may be a decent shot caller, but that doesn't make him a good player.

[@DanteCrowlley]

We have a new Vlad build with movespeed

[@bombasticcat]

you need to know, that aurelion is a heavy oriana counterpick. So he plays bone plating against winning matchups.

[@bharatcarballo5144]

no, not really. aurelion sol loses, or is supposed to, every single early game matchup in the middle lane. Chovy is just such a good player he found the way to bypass aurelion sol's trash early game.

[@archirnobenz]

Would Azzap be worth analysing for his VelKoz plays? 😂

[@DeadlySins-op1gl]

Champion is a scaling monster but also a level 1 powerhouse, if you try to fight him to prevent him from scaling, he gets stacks by trading back, and he doesn't need to build mana, instead rushing a 2600G utility item that also makes him tanky. Great design !

[@chadoftoons]

With manaflow band and tp in every game a sol can just barely recharge playing this aggresively, i would argue that its a little silly the q-tap doesnt burn much mana that could be changed to bring this entire playstyle in line but this was an issue ever since the rework since without q tap sol is so immobile it might be unplayable in the early levels and just result in inverse buffs from removing it. Also taking HP raw runes is this somehow hidden trick at the moment since everyone likes to take the scaling runes that don't affect early game when that is super important at the moment

[@hieunguyenduy1357]

Pick viktor , taliyah , akshan and sol is in a world of pain

[@broidkanymore-zc4lt]

[@bharatcarballo5144]

yeah, no. go and try aurelion sol by yourself in a high elo lobby and see how hard it actually is to manage your mana without a mana item. Chovy bein' good does not equal a broken champion. Corki is also supposed to be a late game menace yet Chovy makes it look like he's an actual lane bully. Chovy finds ways to play 'weak' champions in ways casuals like you would never imagine, that doesn't mean every single champion he plays is OhPee.

[@michael87012]

Okay, but how tap q doesn't make q go on cooldown... That shouldn't be intended and it's stupid, if there is a mechanic that unlock it at lvl 9...

He has perfected Aurelion at such level that i think hes perfect at playing this champ. Hes a robot, he’s amazing at playing most champions. I would say he’s young CR7 with the late career stats and faker Old Messi.

[@18skeltor]

A late game scaling champion should not be able to harass the enemy from lvl 1 > onward. Sol is unfair in the hands of a pro

[@Xabeutt]

same goes for corki, tristana and vayne on top. riot seems to have hard time understanding that hard scaling, late game hyper carries shouldnt be lane bullies. on top of having strong early levels, because his q dmg is overloaded, aurelion has high mobility, great teamfight control and late game he walks around with bruiser level of health thanks to the items he builds, and his empowered ult hits everyone in the circle, which is also a dumb mechanic. people (rightfully) flame ksante for being the most overloaded, but after his nerfs, aurelion takes that stop hands down. failed rework just like akali and irelia, turning interesting champion into demi god with no flaws

[@recruit7081]

​@@Xabeuttcorki is strong on lane?

[@animeanime7849]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Xabeutta couple of things. For one Asol isn’t a natural lane bully. He gets bullied in lane by more champs than he can theoretically bully by a large margin. Having a strong level 1 doesn’t makes someone a lane bully. Asol kit isn’t overloaded. People called Ksante kit overloaded because he could do a laundry list of different things between the stun, multiple dashes, push, damage reduction, unstoppable, a slow on Q, a shield, etc. Asol kit is very simple and straight forward without a bunch of extra things added on. Also acting like Aurelion Sol has no flaws just isn’t true. The most glaring being that to be an effective champion you have to either be a statue or moving in a straight line, Asol can be completely deleted he’s not very tanky, and his landing phase is very a abusable. Also Asol has can get a good amount of health but he has nowhere near the amount of sustain bruisers have if they even somewhat care about not getting one shot.
