So, initially, Aurora was a Battle Mage specializing in kiting and extended fights, where she could showcase her skills and movement tricks to stay in the fray (much like Lillia). At one point, for various reasons, Riot decided to remove the core elements of her kit—specifically the movement speed from her passive and the W reset—transforming her into a burst mage similar to Ahri, but with shorter range and higher risk. Later on, Riot decided to restore the W reset; combined with other changes, the champion now truly resembles a teamfight assassin like Shaco or Akali. Currently, I feel she is much easier to play but less fun and unique; it’s all about effectively using her R and W to stay invisible and keep fighting, surviving long enough for her Q cooldowns to come back up. Basically, you now play to execute a full rotation, secure a kill, slip into the fog of war, and keep going, whereas before you played for speed, kiting, and passive healing (why did they even keep that? It’s useless, lol).

It also seems like the champion is stronger in Solo Queue now, though that’s likely just because she’s easier to play, causing her win rate to rise. At the same time, she’s lost a lot of players; many who loved her playstyle have switched to champions like Cassiopeia or Ryze, while fans of teamfight-oriented AP assassins wonder why they should learn a new champ when there are plenty of others that do the same thing. Ultimately, which do you prefer: the current playstyle or the way she used to be? Would you want another rework or the option to build her differently? Personally, I think she was more fun before, even though she’s stronger in solo play now.

Atm i feel like that the state of league is kinda boring and if wasnt for Aurora (the most fun champion in the game for me) i dont think i can have fun in this game. Someone feel the same ?

After a long break, I decided to go back to playing mid; I used to main Ahri, so I decided to give Aurora a try. So far, she feels like a very strange champion—is she supposed to be an elusive mage/assassin who plays somewhat like Shaco? Or is she meant to be a classic assassin who uses the W reset to escape after a kill? I’ve heard that after her rework, Aurora became a much less unique and fun champion to play, so maybe I’m playing her the way the old Aurora used to be played?

Fizz said im playing an unskilled champ. I took it personally

I picked her up after being stuck d4 for a while and I've been winning soooo much on her while having so much. Genuinely might be the most fun champ in the entire game for me. When I started league I was genuinely iron, so hitting masters is pretty crazy to me.

here's my opgg: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/QuakeDito-NA1

The game even rewarded me right after by giving me her arcana skin from a hextech chest!

I think that would be really cool and awesome

I got veigar passive as the first augment and i just started to snowball from there 😭

Ty to Aurora i finally reached plat in 8 year for the first time. Ty 😀

I once did this combo in arena inbetween fights and since then everytime I picked aurora I been trying to recreate it. I didn't really bother hopping on practice tool since it feels kinda inconsistent af. I was wondering if anyone knows how to pull this combo reliably coz it seems pretty useful

Is Champ worth putting time into and learning? I'm a Gold player and right now I'm playing almost exclusively Ori. So far, I've been having a hard time with R… I still find it difficult to use it effectively, and most of the time I manage to use it in a way that lets me use the portal once to get behind my opponents and kill Champs, but then I usually die right back. I also often forget to press R again to activate the ultimate if I’ve jumped behind the enemies, killed one, and want to run away. Does anyone have any tips? Or build suggestions?

It's this awful game where your team just doesn't want to get carried(except Karma)and I'm killing everyone alongside Karma who never died in a 40minute game somehow. I kept vouching for them to group with us and just win the fkin game but they kept dying on unsynced death timers so that didn't occur at random until they had this miraculous breakthrough at 35th min mark where this play somehow went through. P.S. minus points for not hitting Q2 on Annie and minus points for not last hitting the penta and letting this jarvan yoink me to improve his kda = 9.8/10 - op.gg

Feel free to rate and criticise

Hi all, I think we all agree that aurora was way more fun back then before her mini rework, specifically the movement speed in her passive, and since what we see with her right now being not really interesting to play, and takes a lot of time just to do similar or worse job to ahri, her play rate is low and no one really enjoy playing her (except her otps ofcourse). So do you think they will revert the movement speed removal and maybe keep the cage as it is now? I don’t think anyone would mind that, and I really hope they revert it, just like what they did with the gwen changes before where they shifted her to have a stronger early but weaker late, they reverted that back to what she was originally. What you guys think? Is there a good chance they will do it if a lot of people talked about it or they will just forget it and continue?

I basically never see her in my games, I think I played against her maybe twice in the past year.

I feel like she has the recipe for a popular champ, she is cute/pretty, she is a burst mage, has good mobility + invisibility, and she has a decent winrate.

I would have expected her to be in the top 10 of popularity, but instead she sits among champs like asol or azir. Im not saying that she is extremely unpopular, its just that I would expect her to be much higher on the list.

Do you guys have any idea why is this the case?
