  • The new champion Aurora has been teased and is scheduled for release soon so as per usual with any new champion, I'll be giving my first impressions on her kit. She might be the most annoying champion I've seen in a long time.... who's surprisingly fairly designed.

    MY favorite part about Aurora has to be the amount of cooking that has been happening with people trying to figure out the right builds. She can build bursty with stuff like Luden's, can take AP bruiser items like RoA and Liandry's, and all the while having a kit that supports Lich Bane and/or Nashor's Tooth as reasonable purchases.
    I fear for her numbers cause riot games, but she's actually a really cool mage design. Feels almost like a mage/skirmisher hybrid as opposed to battle mages generally leaning more towards mage/juggernaut.

    I think that even though Aurora has 2 damaging abilities, her Q has a very high damage ceiling. Her Q can only hit once on the initial cast, but if you hit an ADC point blank with her Q while also having a bunch of enemies behind them and then recast, you have the potential to absolutely melt health bars with all the repeated hits from her returning Q and passive. I think that's where the true power of her ult lies. If you can land a Q on a bunch of enemies, how can you use your ult to reposition so that you're hitting a squishy target for massive damage?

    as someone who mains control mages (Ryze, cassio, anivia, lissandra, and vlad), she does not feel like a control/battle mage. maybe it's just me, but I feel like having tons of invisibility and mobility takes away from the power budget of doing DPS and having sustainability, which are the two most important parts of a battle mage, with cc coming in if they don't have as much DPS. invisibility and multiple dashes are very weird for a battle/control mage and it will lead to poor balancing.

    • @PhailRaptor
      @PhailRaptor 3 месяца назад +20

      My fear is she's going to be more like Akali once people figure out the combo. Which ultimately means that on paper she's going to be balanced, but in the hands of someone who's brain just works that way she will absolutely 1v5 after 2 items.

    • @RafaelGarcia022
      @RafaelGarcia022 3 месяца назад +9

      Well, she's not a control mage. That's a hardly defined category as it is, and not one of Riot's own. She's definitely a battle mage - her focus is sustained combat, focuses on magic damage, and has healing in her kit. She is likely intended to build hp and ap, and she's probably gonna be a good RoA+Lyandri's+Riftmaker user. Her lack of CC is made up for in movement, which is not the worst thing ever

      @@FrostRend25 the way I see it is: Battlemage: Vlad, Cassio, Anivia, Lillia, Ryze, Viktor... In essence, low range and low cd abilities with ways to kite
      Whereas Control mages would be: Orianna, Syndra, Anivia, Azir (kinda), Lux (kinda), Hwei, Seraphine, Ziggs (kinda). The main reason why riot does not consider this one of the main sub-divisions of mages is mostly due to overlap with other classes, as some of these are already battlemages or even poke champs, however, I believe people tend to use the Control mage tag on champions that are really good at map control, choke points and zoning enemies off. They urge enemies to make a decision whether to continue foreward or look for another angle, as no one wants to go through an Ori ball, anivia ult/wall, lux E, Ziggs W/E, Hwei E+w and Q+E etc.

    Who counters her in lane? Cause she’s kinda oppressive in lane. And with the state that the game is in now she can almost guarantee to put whoever she goes against behind. Scaling champs fall behind, assassins can’t assassinate her, tanks get bullied by her. Adc gets one shot by her. She’s difficult to gank so Jungs look to gank other lanes. I’d say her weakness is late game team fights but whoever lanes against her will be useless in team fights too. She’s basically vlad/vayne which as a solo lane player my mental booms with the thought of another one of those champs to have to deal with.

  • @animagamer2
    @animagamer2 3 месяца назад +6

    As someone who primarily plays the "big stupid short range in your face" characters in games I think being anti-zoner and alternative playstyles in general is extremely childish. Don't get me wrong, I was 14 once too. At the time I believed the only honorable way to fight was for two characters to just hit each other in close range until someone won. Then I challenged myself to see things from the other side. I learned to play the zoners in Smash and I became the Vayne top. What I realized is A) I still prefer playing Roy and going where I please B) Zoning well actually takes skill. It's a whole different mindset. In most cases, once the guy with the sword gets in you just lose. Champions like Vayne operate in a different space from zoners, and while I understand the frustration other top lanners feel when facing a Vayne. But when the deck is stacked so far in one favor the answer is to simply not engage. Even down 20 CS, most top lanners will be more useful in a team fight than a 0/0/0 Vayne. On the flip side, if Vayne makes one mistake it can completely take the Vayne player out of the game. Yes, there will be cases where you do everything right. You completely neutralize the lane and come into the team fight down 30 CS but ready to scrap... And the Vayne randomly gets a qudra kill and you feel like you wasted 15 minutes of your life. But that's just the nature of the game. All you can do is play what you're dealt. The time you waste complaining about your hand is time better spent trying to figure out how to use your cards to win... So yeah, that's what I thought about all the anti-kiting propaganda in this video.

    I think Aurora is gonna be one of those underestimated champs. She’s gonna be fairly weak early, but after a couple items, she’s gonna come online and during a teamfight, will proceed to 1v3. Another thing not touched on much is that attacks also count for her passive, which along with the bonus ms from her passive, her w dash/invis/ms, and her e self-knockback kiting, will be able to keep that online for quite a while unless expressly targeted by an assassin. She has potential but will also take quite a bit to learn her combos and how to properly keep her uptime consistent.

    I personally find no problem with Aurora getting invisibility. You say it's basically duskblade, but the reason that was a problematic item was because it was just that. An item that could be purchased by anyone.
    Aurora's invis is moreso about getting away or buying time. Not so much ambush and surprise. You essentially use it to get a more advantageous position when you otherwise wouldn't get anything.

    What I like most about Aurora is how her kit is really lending itself to build variety. You can choose to go full burst, on hit attack speed, or damage over time with her, and I think it's actually quite wonderful in that regard since you got build and playstyle variety with her. Fighting against a mage with the same range as her? Any of those 3 play styles could work. Against a champion with a lot of dashes? Well if you are not feeling confident in your skill shots then go either damage over time or better yet AS on hit. Fighting against someone with more range than you? Go damage over time to wittle their hp down. It's really nice and refreshing to see a champion that allows you to experiment and not pidgeonhole itself into a niche.

    Another "rule" of battle mage is that you should have AT LEAST one single target ability, Voctor's Q, Anivia's E, Vlad's Q, Ryze's normal Q and W, Swain's Q (to some extent)... Now look at the new champ, all her abilities, apart from the dash are AoE. Also battle mages should have a somewhat weak early game and really good neutral game, this new character just breaks the mould by having lots of damage up front and early like %health damage, kinda like the bork rush strat. Her "scaling" is about regeneration and speed, not raw power like other battle mages. She's nothing short of 200yrs design. I'm not speaking of hate for the new member of the battle mage roster, but as a battle mage main (Anivia and Vlad), the new character just deviates so much from the core concept of what it means to be a battle mage.

    She seems simple and generally pretty balanced. People lose their minds over her ultimate, but it does so little for herself besides just being a survivability tool, that I don't think her base kit has enough damage to be a threat. She just feels like a battle mage that focuses on survivability more than anything else by just staying invisible to wait for her cooldowns.

    @strongerthanever2039 3 месяца назад +1

    Honestly, was pretty disappointed about Aurora's gameplay. I was super excited for her, since I loved her design, her lore and her story with Ornn (and the cool minigame too!). But when her abilities came out... She doesn't really seem like my playstyle.
    But worse than that, her kit seems to be very generic (ofc it's another 3 hit passive) while also being overloaded (max health damage, 3 dashes that go over walls, invis, reset mechanic). She also has the same problem like Samira or Akshan where her kit is basically a few other abilities from other champions clumped up together (Ahri q + Xayah e on her q, nerfed Shaco q on her w, mini Graves ult on her e).
    And from what I've seen of her being played on pbe, she seems to be understatted on top of all of that? It was a first impressions video, so the person playing her might've been just bad, but her stats seemed very low compared to other champs (even her q seemed to have trouble one-shotting the backwave like f.e. Ahri q). She just has every problem possible.
    And as if that wasn't enough, I think the official riot statement about this champ is that she is supposed to be a midlaner who's also available top. Yes. She's gonna be a dedicated toplane champ and riot will be balancing Aurora to make her available top. It's not gonna be a case of champion not meant to be played top but one that people play top anyway, because you can bully the enemy (like Vane).
    I know you are a top lane main Vars, and that you hate playing against this kind of picks (but again, who doesn't?). So yes, you had every right to worry about her being annoying. It might be a new dark era of toplane if they buff her enough 😨 Bewaaaaareeee the bunny!

    You are wrong about the utility of her ult.

    Its like Irelia landing a 5 man ult. Even if she dies and doesnt manage to deal any dps if she does land a 5 man ult the amount of *instant* cc that is causes the whole team can alone win a team fight.

    • @chrissymomo
      @chrissymomo 3 месяца назад

      Landing a 5 man ult with her is much too comp dependent to flat out say it will win the team fight. There are enough champs with cc disruption/spellshields or team comps that want to fight within close quarters too make that claim. For team comps that want you to get close to them so they can get on top of you, her ult is probably a major bait and shouldn't be used to engage.
