One thing most players fail to understand about Stardust: Aurelion doesn't need to kill anything inside his E to get stardust, he just needs things to DIE inside his E, no matter the source of what kills them. You can let a wave push to your tower, E it, and then not get a single cs but you will still get stardust for every death. It's a massive help for stacking early and the literal 0 dmg dealt by E + the execute threshold will almost guarantee that you will get most minions.

As ridiculous as the new ASol's numbers are and how hard his kit may end up being to balance I very much appreciate how much more he delivers on the "Star Dragon" fantasy than before.

[paulkrex]

I think that the drag in of the e not counting as a slow making it synergies with slow effects (since only one slow can be applied at once) is like the biggest issue on new asol, making it rly hard to push in the lategame against him.
I like how u still mentioned vlad and kassa. I dont think of asol as a huge issue as those 2 abomination mentioned. They just have way to safe lanes (free sustain on minions why ever ) while asol can be punished rly hard at least.

[Minox_]

Catalyst of Aeons is great for sustaining in lane, you get mana when you get hit and you restore health when using mana (which as aurelion, you're going to be doing loads of anyway). It probably isn't optimal but if you're building rod and you're not having a great time surviving it might help.

i just fucking hate how my niche champion is now fucking banned/picked every game. i miss when I could enter a game and not worry about him being banned.

How to play asol like a challenger: Hold Q

[bloodedfruit]

Hated that one time on ARAM where we were stomping till their asol started to zone too much. We won but that was annoying

[magicikata]

Asol player here! I'd like to add something I don't rly see anyone do.
You can cancel your w while still using q if you're in a good spot (retap w). I actually saw a lot of people miss kills or dmg because they canceled everything with right click or because they fly too far.

[googlepoodle]

I’m glad to hear that what I have learned and what I am doing in the early game and with dmat is correct. I definitely need to work on Q weaving more in the mid/late game.

[rol]

One (possibly inefficient but favored by me) strat is to max E first. It deals enough damage to clear waves when used correctly, Q still hurts because it also scales with level. Tear also isnt needed in the beginning and I usually dont buy it because with tear, Rylais and Mythic (RoA) your inventory is already way too full to put any real defensives or situationals in without giving up boots.

The big thing about E max tho is that you have to interact with your lane opponent way less. With matchups like vs. Syndra you will get punished pretty much every time you go for a Q. Thats where E shines in giving you nice range for a lower but still fine damage output. E also helps you keep up with stacks without dying. When I play against ASols and pick Syndra (which is a really bad matchup nonetheless, dont get me wrong) they usually dont even get a lot of stacks in and have like 100 at the 20 minute mark. E gives you a consistent way of aquiring stacks without risking too much.

You also dont really need maxed Q that early, channeling during W is unlimited anyways and it only eats up mana. During an average you dont really stand in place Q-ing for over 3 seconds in combat, so there is really no need. Also, mid-20 minutes is the best time for ASol and you will have Q maxed by that time anyways.

Is it optimal? Probably not. Is it safe, frees up an item slot and is way less stressful to play? For me, at the very least, it is.

So OP it brought Dong Out of retirement from talking about OP champs 😂

[minhkhangta]

Reworked Asol is a disaster, he's discustingly OP, even the worst players can press R and then win every team fights with ease

[denyschulkov]

The way I melt them is just... adorable.

[crablord]

The closing statement intrigues me, since I play Kayle.

[Illegiblescream]

I enjoy some Asol APC. I ask for a support that can kill minions in my E, and if I get one that's on board with the Plan I can get 150 at 15 minutes, and after that it's pure scaling.

[jeluenhayo]

E+R feels like the oldest Amumu or GP ults that took over entire lane in width.

[slloyd]

So when do you tell us how challengers abuse the rework?

[riv]

Best thing that wasnt stated in this video is there's a CHINESE Aurelion sol build ( Rylais -> Ludens ) with cheapshot is INSANE ( which is my favorite build currently )

[alexzhang]

Are you still making the rumble video with Timal?

[animegx]

So AS went from an early game bully to Veigar with mobility. Neat.
