Aurelion Sol Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
An easy Matchup for Aurelion considering the others are mostly Skill based/medium ones. His Trades and damages are so obvious to anticipate and the moment he tries to use
Pick A Card
To stun you ready your
Starsurge
To punish him, since you have better range he will always take minion aggro when he attempts to do it. Just try to look for roams the moment you hit lvl 4 and shove the wave when before doing that.

Playstyle.
What makes Aurelion Unique and fun to play is just basically his
Center Of The Universe
and his
Celestial Expansion
Aurelion Is a Control mage with great roaming capabilities. if you want to play a mage with an exotic kit then Aurelion is definitely the Champion for you. he mostly excels at roams and teamfighting in general providing good CC and AoE damage though his laning phase is quite weak compared to other champions he's hard to play but definitely easy to master since practicing and mastering your positioning to hit orbs is the key fundamental of generally playing aurelion.

Mechanics/Combos.
Aurelion Sol seems like a narrow Champion if you write it in paper but he surprisingly has a decent amount of them. Starting off to combos.
Voice Of Light
+
Starsurge
>
Celestial Expansion
This is your standard combo. Knocking off enemies with
Voice Of Light
will make them airborne for about a second giving a free stun from
Starsurge
The image above Is the maximum range of Aurelion Sol knock back. Any opponent before that radius will be knocked back into that radius that is in the exact range of
Celestial Expansion
it's a way for Aurelion sol to peel for himself against Champions that can engage into him.
Voice Of Light
+ Flash +
Starsurge
>
Celestial Expansion
Funnily enough, Aurelion sol can also Kick Ult with flash like lee sin, pog. You ult behind you and flash ontop of them, this will redirect your
Voice Of Light
into the place that you flash to. Although this is not really an important combo and the only scenario you can use this is against Zed with his
Death Mark
but nonetheless it looks cool if you manage to pull it off.

Laning as aurelion
knowing how to lane on a champion that has a slightly weak laning phase is important. I'll note out the general rules that you have to do on aurelion to be a successful in laning.
Establishing a Slow push level 1 is important since this provides key points and timing to roam, being aggressive with your
Celestial Expansion
to zone out and slowly shove the lane is a must. after setting up a wave you'll definitely want to ward the enemy jungle camp and hard shove the next wave for it to crash at the tower and reset. upon reaching lvl 4 and acquiring
Comet Of Legend
should have you looking for roams. But it's ok if you can't and Just ward again instead. But whenever possible immediately use
Comet Of Legend
to arrive quickly and possibly turning the tides of that skirmish Against surprise counter ganks by the enemy.
