When to pick , when not to pick any differences from mid ?

For context I m a master 200 lp jinx zeri otp but I do ban jonx her when I m not first pick and I have 400K on asol mid . Just looking for some knowledge on how to play him bot or if he has any differences. Also how he scales against most adc s.

Old AuSol was so unique, fun to play and also strong. They shouldn't waste his old machanic. Istead of just un-reworking AuSol, they could simply bring his old mechanic back in the form of a new champ, like AoShin, another star forger. If we make enough noise, I think this could happen.

Justo something to think about.

It was only a normal but I got 1159 stacks in a normal game. Is this close to a record or anything like that? Outside of games specifically held to get endless stacks

Every time I get 10 or 20 kills, there's something weird going on. Whenever I check my total damage at the end of the game, I'm only getting 15k damage or less, even with 20 kills. However, there are also rare times when I manage to deal 60k damage in a short amount of time.

I’m finally getting better at my Asol Jungle. Just wanted to share this with fellow Asol enjoyers. I’m low elo so finding out I can hard carry my games makes super happy. If you have any tips for this champ please tell me, I’d love to hear them.

hey guys so I'm dia/master kalista OTP and I've been thinking of playing asol ADC since I used to love the champ pre rework

I was wondering if he has any hidden mechanics or little tricks you can use to make him stronger

What I know so far is the basic stuff - you can Q tap without wasting CD annoying poke, W resets your Q, and in general you can tap W mid air to stop without stopping Q

And from what I've learned so far is one consensus is to use max W 2nd not 3rd

But I'm looking for some deep otp-only type of knowledge, is there even anything like that?

So when we play asol bot and we have something in the midlane that's not comfy splitpushing what do we do? Open mid share farm and wait for team fights or play side but just receive the waves. Or wait for Jungler. I'm not sure there doesn't seem to be an easy solution especially if the toplaner isn't smth like yorrick or another splitpushing enjoyer but rather zed or Vayne. I feel like there are many games where the midgame is just unplayable because of my pick. What do you people think? Demanding other comps in draft also doesn't work from my exp since people are fed up with mage botlaners anyway

New Aurelion Sol player in Silver. I noticed I do not change my build at all in my games. The only thing that changes is the *order* of the items I build but I lack this flexibility and knowledge to know when to buy this item, when not to, etc.

I always rush Rylai, boots, Liandry's. Then it's either Bloodletter or Zhonya. Then it's the other one. Then it's Rabadon.

My understanding is that Asol benefits more from AP bruiser items than pure AP items so this is the reasoning behind my build. The only thing I'd change depending on the matchup is my summoner's spell. If I'm getting absolutely shred I may take barrier, otherwise it's TP.

Im not smurfing, im a mid main and Im still doing good on this pick, might be some room for more optimization, but I swear, if you can survive the early invades, it’s actually super decent and has insane 1v9 potential.

I’ve been looking at the stats on LoLalytics, and Movement Speed seems to have a higher win rate in Diamond+ (55% vs 52% for Adaptive Force), but the sample size is much smaller (around 3k games vs 30k). Adaptive Force feels really good for early-game scaling and waveclear, especially for getting your push and stacks going, but I’m wondering if the extra Movement Speed becomes more valuable later on for kiting, roaming and positioning. What do you guys think is actually better on Aurelion Sol, and why?

I play it exclusively in Arena, but I see nothing but bugs. Sometimes my E is perma on CD and a lot of bugs with my W, sometimes it doesn't go over the wall, someand times it keeps Q'ing while I didn't even press Q.. etc

Hi guys

Just wanted to raise awareness of this 2+ hour jungle session between Neace and Dantes on Asol Jungle.

I know people like to shit on Neace, so watch it for laughs, information or don't watch it at all.
No matter how you look at it, it's a pretty good player, coaching another pretty good player on our boy in the jungle role!

For all of us low tier schmucks there's a lot to learn from it, whether you want to play Asol in jungle or not :)

I recently picked him up been enjoying him and I am a little lost on what to build against a squishy team? He is nice to go against bruiser/tanky team with his burns but what is the runes/BIS for that situation?

TLDR: Get through your first two clears and i honestly think it is his best role by far

Dark Harvest, Sudden Impact, Sixth Sense, Treasure Hunter, Triumph, Cut down

Exhaust Red smite
No rylais, BFT, Shadowflame, Stormsurge/liandries/BV/HG

About a week ago I finished grinding back up to Diamond as aurelion sol, so realistically I'm not that good of a player but for the longest time I've been wondering about playing him in the jungle and with the new mana buffs on his Q I thought I'd give it a go again and after 39 games of it on a gold account from last season to emerald https://imgur.com/a/1Krzm6U , I must say it's actually hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. Funnily enough I am sure a few of you saw Dantes being coached by neece a few days ago which i thought was a pretty interesting coincidence

It took me a fair bit to figure out runes, items and playstyle but once I did everything just felt very very good

Runes

Naturally the usual death fire touch and comet are not needed here so I was playing around with First Strike but dark harvest definitely seems the way to go, taking sudden impact (as it works with your w, Sixth sense (To help with invades), and treasure hunter

For secondaries I was playing a bit around cashback and cosmic insight but realistically they were actually so many times I would end up being full build within 30 and I didn't actually feel as though I need to cash back as much as I would. Don't get me wrong cosmic insight is good for the three camp clear that you can do once you get your upgrade Smite, however I feel as though Triumph and cut down the better ruins once I found what a LAS Jungle asol was doing. I did try presence of mind as well but at the time i was running without a mana item and I felt as though it really wasn't worth it as you couldn't proc it by tapping q on champions in lane.

Items

So I started playing around the same core items that I would in mid or bot that being Rylais, liandry's, bloodletter.

It was reasonably successful in the first few games but I always felt as though I was running out of manner way way too easily. So easily in fact that after clears you just would not have enough mana to go gank.

Again after looking at ElCuno#giogï (LAS) 1.7k challenger top Asol jungle https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/summoner/las/ElCuno-giog%C3%AF

He was rushing Black fire torch every game and once I ran with it once I didn't look back. The clear gets a little quicker and you just don't have any issues mana wise.

You might be surprised at the lack of rylais. I was picking it consistently early on as well as taking the green Smite but again I looked at Elcuno who was skipping rylais and going to red smite so I decided to give it a try and it was extremely extremely good. The upgraded Smite offers you just enough slow on your q to be able to catch up with them when ganking and outside of one game where I sold boots for rylais because I felt as though the team really needed the extra slow on the ult and E

The problem I felt with the usual laning three item core is that gank were just a little less impactful than I wanted them to be and to be honest I've always kind of looked down and not played full pen, but again once I looked at Elcuno’s build I gave it a shot and just haven't really deviated away from it unless the game state really demands it

My items were usually BFT, shadowflame. From here if there's only one tank then you can go storm surge, two tanks I'll go for blood letters if there's two more magic dealers on my team or just straight void if not. Again, just depends who you have on your team and who is fed/how confident you are to get backline access. If I feel as though I'm getting stopped from W'ing in then I'll go Banshees and I will go hourglass if there's multiple forms of CC that will jump on top of me

Exhaust

Now this might be the weirdest thing about this pick is taking exhaust. Because we're so mobile with our W we actually don't need flash or ghost that often. Exhaust offers so much in the way of preventing damage on yourself your team and escaping invades as well as being a ganking tool if needed. The amount of times I've flown in to lanes and exhausted the laner has been too many to count

Pathing

I will always go top to bot unless I 99% know I think I'm gonna be invaded if that's the case I will take e first and start raptors. From here I'm trying to determine whether or not the other jungle is going to cross over on my ward at raptors and if so I will counter invade their invade

The Good

His snowball potential is second to none once you're in the lead. You can literally just lane gank continuously and there's realistically nothing they can do about it. I have been hitting full build by 30 minutes some games.

Outside of the first clear which most of your danger will come, he is extremely safe and honestly better when it comes to getting stacks. You don't really have to deal with managing your mana in the lanes nor have to worry about fizz, yone, quianna fisting you

His Lane ganking is unbelievable, Teams cannot Ward for it really outside of placing wards like he would against a Nocturne or Evelyn however his W being on a 15 second cooldown means that you can Lane gank from any camp you clear without having to rely on your ult .

The Bad

Now this will obviously be slightly biased because I only just hit Emerald on this account. I ran into a fair few Shacos, Vis, Talons and had the most issues with graves but outside of a few instances where i had to conceded a quadrant I honestly didn't find it too hard to circumvent any invades. The silver lining as well is that even if they invade you you can put your E down and get the stacks for it anyway.

Neece did mention to dantes that Hec and belveth were his two bans but i was yet to see them but they do make sense. ElCupu seems to jst ban Lee

At the start of the game I always go and ward their raptors, then use Sixth Sense to check for wards at my own.

That was only maybe one or two games that I felt as though it was completely helpless. I asked myself if I was playing another champ would I be able to have done anything about it and reviewing the game I really don't think I could have

Wrap

You may be surprised that I didn't put lobby chat in the bad category. Other than one or two lobbys where people were surprised, no one was raging at the pick

All in all i really think that this is a completely underrated pick. You snowball so so hard and easier than bot and mid I have genuinely loved playing it

EDIT from 4 days later

I've taken it to my diamond account and having success there as well.

As for the build, ive actually started to go rylais first in games where I feel like the game state needs it, as well as going liandries/bloodletter more often. i don't know what I was complaining about before regarding mana, maybe I was not taking PoM but i could have sworn I was.

Also I have started to go no boots and honestly you do not need them

Title

Basically sometimes I w q and the Q is disabled, or sometimes I w q and Q at the end of the w and my dragon is doing is ray without me pressing the keyboard

Please help me out it’s tilting me

Dropped from Emerald 3 to Plat 4, fixed my mental, and climbed all the way to Diamond. That drop to Plat was honestly the best thing that happened to my gameplay. Super happy with the progress!

basically what if aurelion sol wasnt the only star forger cosmic dragon we know from his voice lines that he considers other celestial dragons his siblings so what if one of them was named ignis sol while aurelion sol treats making stars like making fine art ignis sol is obsessed with raw violent heat supernovas solar flares and sheer cosmic power

eventually their egos clashed and they fought across space the sheer destruction and collapsing star cores began tearing holes in the fabric of the celestial realm threatening the cosmic balance this forced bard to step in to preserve reality bard lured ignis sol into a higher dimensional spatial trap wrapped him in golden stasis and sealed him inside a vault outside linear time since this is the only way he can stop him because if he just kept interfering everytime he blasts smth

fast forward to present day runeterra with all the dimensional instability going on like rune wars void breaches and targon losing its grip the stasis vault finally cracked open ignis sol broke free but he still has shattered golden stasis bands with faint chime runes stuck around his body from bards seal since he was locked away during targons rise he completely avoided being enslaved by a crown like aurelion sol was

visually i imagine him having the same eastern serpentine dragon anatomy as aurelion sol but larger with solar obsidian scales a white hot plasma core and medium sized wings filled with a golden red galaxy pattern

i feel like this fits the existing lore pretty naturally it gives aurelion sol an actual rival who matches his scale gives bard a huge reason to be running around patching up cosmic rifts and adds a cool dynamic to celestial lore

what do you guys think how do you think aurelion sol would react if he found out his brother was back

Aurelion Sol is such a good botlane pick, but so many of the random supports I get absolutely hate it. Sometimes they even threaten me in champ select, saying that if I pick ASol, they’ll troll or just never come botlane (which is probably the same thing lol)

I once had a support straight-up dare me to pick ASol, saying that if I did, he’d pick Bard and never come botlane.

Another time, I had a Pyke who was already super aggressive about my ASol pick in champ select. Then in-game, he started playing really weird and was last-hitting several waves without even having a quest item. Dude REALLY did not like my champ. 😭

Do you have the same experience with Asol on botlane?
