So far, from what I've seen, ASOL actually doesn't seem broken. He has a clear strength and clear weakness (gets fucking gutted by any hard CC and range but rivals Anivia with waveclear and battlefield control with his AOE). His damage seems fair and respectable and has clear counterplay. Spikes mid game and thrives late game (if it ever goes that far, but there still seems a way to shut him down so he won't be as bullshit as the other crazy scaling champs). This honestly seems like a healthier rework compared to others.

I feel like mobile champs that can get out of his E and R range quickly and maneuver around his Q (since it takes a bit for ASol to turn while using it) would be more of a problem. against someone like ziggs or xerath, this asol has fairly strong engage with his W + R combo and those champs tend to be too immobile to escape the CC and ASol’s burst combo is now pretty strong. Early game bullies are also probably an issue because his dmg is so weak in those stages. Love the rework though, they really have a lot more places where the player gets to feel cool between E executes, W resets, and massive Rs.

I personally think New A Sol will be a top tier mage jungle, he can do a 3:30 full clear and has prime stardust collection on the jungle monsters and is still a ganking machine even though his W has less range early. Plus he can hide in bushes now yay!

I had a blast with Electrocute + Ludens Rylais Cosmic drive build. As soon as you get Rylais, your WQ starts to become really hard to dodge with careful choice of flight direction. I also maxed E first and got 250 stardust by 15 minutes, you do not really need levels in Q - lost chapter and blasting give it enough punch.

Thanks for the gameplay Pekin! I feel like not going Rylais on new asol is a mistake most games since slowing people with your q and e is so synergistic with his kit although it's still early so it's hard to tell.

yea that for sure feels the case. There are so many times when people just try running away from ASol because Q forces him to be stationary and ASol can’t move his E or cast another one after it’s been placed. rylais seems like it’d help a lot for both of those problems.

Something I feel would be a welcome change when they tweak A-sol a bit is that his Q can't be cancelled by using W, so that in situations where you're stationary you could relocate yourself and still be using Q at the same time and vice versa. Would make him feel way less limited, or so I'd like to think. Oh and great vid pekin, look forward to more content!

His Q is so clunky. Feels like old time Xerath where you need to lock yourself in place to use abilities

A drive by using W and Q is a lot of fun when ganking.

This was whose asol video I was waiting for.

What ability is it that executes?

This rework of Asol should be played like Anivia where you burn and slow people down because there's no point in playing him by bursting people and going into the fray. The best you could do is to scale by chilling in the early game then be annoying and reaching power spikes during mid game so you could hurt people on late game. Playing for the team is crucial so going in before any engaging allies is a really stupid thing to do ( yes Pekin, I'm side-eyeing what you did in 24:42 really hard). Still, great video Pekin!

Let's go! ASol is finally back!

He reminds me of veigar or Kayle. He's pretty easy to bully early on, but he puts games on a timer. The longer the game goes, the more dangerous he gets. It'd be a rough game to start but could have a Nasus top, Kindred jungle, Asol mid, Senna Bot, Veigar Support and run a full infinite stacking team. I love the tear, RoA, Archangels on him. He doesn't really need much ability haste but the extra durability goes a long way.

Wooow what a menace during late game. It looks like you are playing a different game and everyone else is just a mere mortal pawn

42:20 that was so funny lol

New Asol has been pretty broken from the couple games I've played him. By that I mean he feels good to play, but a lot of mages need 10 kills or 20 minutes of excellent farm to feel good to play and Asol has it baseline. He loads in feeling like most mages do when they have completed mythic but before they get Rabadon's. Mana and the limited channel time on his Q are the biggest issues early, but with his waveclear it's not a huge issue. His damage is very high, and it's sustained which is the biggest thing. Tanks actually have to respect it or they'll get melted down and executed by the black hole very fast. Since his Q is constant mana drain RoA and Seraph's Embrace are constant healing when paired with it; Rylai's Crystal Scepter makes your black hole REALLY hard to escape by walking as well. Furthermore, by a combination of these items, it's easy to reach 3700 hp + healing while maintaining insane damage. You can win quite a lot of fights by just holding Q down since you have enough hp not to get bursted and it's rare for another pick to beat you in a straight damage fight if your breath is landing. He's got waveclear, he's got infinite scaling, he's got roams, he's got kill resets, he's got big dps, he synergizes very well with the AP/tank items, his ult can get bigger than the entire drag pit on impact in a half-decent game and hit half the map when empowered. He's pretty damn good once you get over the early game; I expect him to get hit with more nerfs in the future until he also takes 8000 gold to feel like a champion.

Man I may start playing league back again. This looks insanely fun!! I hope the "Nerf A.Sol doesn't become unironic." I don't care what others say.... he doesn't look broken. Sure, he is a late game menace but he also has weak points that makes it fair: 1. Can't move while casting Q only. W with Q solves that issue but he can move only in a straight line during that time, so it's predictable. The entire shinnanigan is over if he gets CCed. Also, that maneuver looks mechanically demanding. 2. Sure he has infinite scaling, but so does Veigar, Nasus, Senna etc. Someone's gotta nerf those champions too if this is to be nerfed. Also, a couple of suggestions if I may. Everfrost in the right situation might be really good to hold enemies in place when Sol doesn't have ult for more Q damage. Hextech Rocketbelt might be good too, if he has some mechanic like Akali. By that I mean using that might help him stop and change direction mid flight. Plus, a free dash never hurts. Feels like a lore accurate Aurelion Sol in gameplay but still fair inside rift. Riot finally did a decent job!

Seems like the way to go is seraphs roa and rylais as his core but I’ll have to wait til live to find out!

Asol's kit seems very fun, especially late game, shame that majority of games end around 25 minutes lol

41:57 this asteroid is what killed the dinosaurs

do you think Rylai's could be viable?

looks like a battle mage, so i think ppl will build roa or even rift into seraphs. rylai crystal scepter seems like a good idea, maybe you could cast ult and slow with q to land it. Not sure if you can proc phase rush with sol, should try it

Waiting all day

ive seen people use him with conqueror and spamming Q for an instant prock. it makes him far more difficult to kill and is a nice mechanic to work around his bad early game. Ithink ASOL will be bestin a coordinated team with a lot of CC to keep opponents inside his execute.

I love this rework and this was such a good game for him lol 40+ mins

How good is the scaling on the E? Considering how difficult stardust is to stack early, but also how powerful it is, I wonder if going 2-3 points into E early might be the play? You lose trading power, but your early game is shit anyways, so better to just E the wave and avoid the enemy. Probably keeps you safer AND nets you more stardust before midgame.

i didnt see you mention the max health execute scaling on his E! thats pretty good too

Why not W->Q when vex fear is down, so you can chase when she moves away? should be better trade, no?

TBH it seems somehow even more clunky than old ASol...but I dunno, with some polish and QoL seems pretty unique. I hope they can fix it up before live, and I hope to see more Pekin videos as he gets it nailed down. =)

Pekin woof resotring to the standard league thumbnails with all the ability icons lol

Can he W to reposition while mid Q channel? If not im surprised that wouldn't be a feature, seems like it would help the clunky feel of Q while not being too strong.

Loved this vid. Would like to see you play him in a more roamer playstyle around levels 6-8 to see what thats like. Maybe putting an extra point in W to make it happen. To not see W being used at all during the early-mid game seems like something is missing. Would like to see an early bot roam once you have decent enough waveclear and ulti

The upgraded ult looks so satisfying
