Riot hints at Aurelion Sol rework with unique scaling abilities
Aurelion Sol one-tricks had good reason to fear a rework, but the star serpent’s potential new scaling gimmick is definitely something to look forward to.
Riot Games has revealed new information on the highly anticipated Aurelion Sol rework. The new details come from the latest episode of
Devs Spill The Beans, Riot’s in-house interview series. League of Legends producer Rob “KingCobra” Rosa sat down to discuss upcoming changes for one of League’s most iconic champions.
Aurelion Sol rework adds new scaling that makes spells bigger
Aurelion Sol will maintain his role as a mobile mid-laner after the rework, but he will lose power in the early game in favor of a unique scaling mechanic.
Rosa outlined that Riot wants to make players feel like the powerful space god Aurelion Sol represents. To that end, the team plans to introduce a unique scaling system where his spells become physically larger. The video example depicts a possible new Starsurge that grows dramatically larger. Keep in mind that the example is not necessarily the final product.
During the interview, Rosa emphasized that Riot wants to maintain Aurelion Sol’s bombastic personality. In fact, they wanted it to be represented in his new kit. The new scaling system is designed to make the player feel like a true space god in the late game. Spells becoming larger is a common buff for champions, but Aurelion Sol’s entire kit getting biggest definitely matches his place in the lore.
Unfortunately, that’s all Rosa was able to share with fans. Aurelion Sol’s rework is still in the ideation stage, and
it will be a while
before it finally reaches the live client. Rosa ended the brief interview by restating the rework’s vision and how excited he is to work on it.
“I don’t want to be done. I just want to keep talking about this space dragon and how much I fucking love him.” said Rosa.
