I love how the last line implies that the old Aurelion Sol was still bound to Targon and couldn't release more power than that. But now Targon begins to loose it's grip and he can summon more of his celestial power in the rift.
Still he has "crown" on his head. I wonder what would happen... if it broke. Also like they brough voice actor back to give some more lines to Aurelion
@@zerlichr426 He's the best english voice actor change my mind. I loved him as Madara Uchiha and I adore him as Aurelion Sol. I can't imagine anyone else voicing the sassy star dragon.
No matter what planet, no matter what galaxy, they always look up in wonder... Some fall to their knees and workship. Others hide behind walls and towers. But the thing they do best, is beg for mercy. It's just... Adorable.
The fact that Neil Kaplan returns as Aurelion Sol's voice actor is just amazing. I love this and everything about this. I was never as hyped for a rewor as I am now. Wonderful.
I love that line. "What's the matter Targon? Losing your grip?" Amazing considering his lore. Seeing how Targon fooled him into wearing a crown, which bound him to Mount Targon himself, allowing the Targonians to wield his star shaping powers for themselves. Now that he was be reworked, the crown's power is weakening, allowing him to regain some of his former glory. My headcanon anyway.
That’s not the Shattered Crown. The Shattered Crown is a curse for those who resurrect the dead (the Tripoint crown around Viego and Mordekaiser). Though yeah everything else is pretty accurate.
Shattered Crown isn't the one he has, that's a Shadow Isle thing. Though You are correct since his recent lores in LOR from the spells shows him becoming more and more powerful
Love how the cinematic put it into perspective just how strong aurelion is. He is this massive cosmic entity that could wipe out runterra easily. I feel like that power wasn't shown off in his old trailer.
I suppose that's because he's still being controlled by Targon by now. But if what he said is true, and perhaps also to tie in with his rework, Targon may be losing their hold on him, hence he's getting stronger. Had he no regard for the beautiful floating rock he so dearly lovingly created called Runeterra, however, everyone would've been deleted ages ago.

@@vorios6731 That's literally his lore update. Pantheon's former incarnate died, which weakened the crown's grip over A Sol. So he is starting to gain more freedom from Targon.
Aurelion flying over the Sun Disc feels so symbolic. The Ascended received their power from the Disc, which channels a fraction of the Star Forger's power into them. The sight of the Celestial Dragon so big (and yet so small) above Shurima's godwarriors' birthplace shows just how insignificant they are in the face of their "father". The crack on His crown also makes me wonder if we will ever see Him without it.
I ain't no lore expert,but where does it says that the sun disc extracts power from aurelion? I thought it was a gift from the "star beings" above,and it's either super technology,or just extracting power from the sun itself (hence the name sun disc) I didn't know aurelion was related to shurima,even tho shurima and targon has a slight connection I guess,worshipping the same "gods"
I think the moment the crown goes totally off, it will be end game for league universe. Albeit diminished compared to previous control, he is still bound to targon. And an interdimensional dragon that's is basically the universe personified with a grudge on targon, would just destroy runeterra enitrely. And I doubt there are other beings equal to A sol lore wise.

With this, they channeled his celestial power to raise up immortal god-warriors, for some unknown conflict that was apparently still to come."
My favorite part of the trailer is when he says "true power is only found in the cosmos" as he is over Shurima where they ascended to become gods with unimaginative power, where he is saying that even with their godlike powers, it is pale in comparison to his. Also love that when he is asking if targon is losing their grip. You can see that his crown has a crack in it. You can see it as a line of a different shade of gold is going across the crown's front
@JM Sunday No, it is an actual crack, after Pantheon died the crown lost a bit of his power and it has been losing power ever since, as it can't contain Aurelion's power entirely it cracked.
@@vanquisher4700when you say can’t contain so you mean Aurelian Sol is losing his power and becoming weaker? Or the crown is losing its power to hold back A Sols power and so he is becoming stronger?
@@finestcustard5647 The crown is something that the Targonians put on Aurelion Sol so that they could capture his power and use him. The crown cracking means that Targon may in time lose their control of Sol (i.e "losing their grip") and release him once again, allowing him to do whatever he wishes (which probably means exacting revenge on Targon).
I remember the first time I watched the very 1st Aurelion teaser/trailer. That was peak League and absolutely legendary. Watching this brought back so much of those feels and hype even though I barely play League anymore. The VA of Aurelion is simply phenomenal and brings his entire kit and personality to absolute super nova heights
I absolutely _love_ how they turn his rework into lore! Targon losing their hold on him has allowed him to gain more power, and thus, greater abilities that could even affect the entire Rift.
I love how they use the same chord progression or basic soundtrack as the original asol champ teaser, but its like sped up, or more energized. Its more epic. So fitting
It has been such a long time since I've gotten actual chills from a trailer for LoL. Of course it was a lore-influenced one. Props to Neil Kaplan, he does amazing voice work on A. Sol.
ASol is so great, they had to release him twice. This rework is great for storytelling too. He's getting stronger cause Targon doesn't control him as much.
I don't think Targon get anything om him at all. They lore said he seal the rift because he also doesn't the void to consume his creation. If he wanted to I think he could easily break the crown
This is crazy, I started playing League when Asol was released and remember hearing his theme every single time on log in. And now hearing it again and witnessing his updated kit, is just so crazy cus that was years ago.
Truly phenomenal. The fact that Aurelion still isn’t even at full power because of Targon really sends home the idea that he is beyond the scope of any threat currently loose on Runeterra. Really only the dark star entities I’d imagine can challenge a full power Asol and even then the fact that he’s been around since practically the beginning tells me even they would struggle to match him. I love this space dragon, happy to see them going all in on this concept.
@@_Sami_H as of yet are not certain if they are in the main universe. However, we do know from the presence dark star Rhast in Odyssey AU that these entities can move between universes. Dark Cosmic Jhin has lines that imply they are aware of alternate universes, and even Asols own quote, “The depths of space crawl with terrible entities. Pray they ignore this world,” could possibly imply they are present, just far off in the cosmos.
His voice now brings ferocity, menace and overflowing power. The previous lines sound more contemplative and 'above it all' like an entity amused with its own ability to manipulate the cosmos. very interesting
They literally gave him the Madara Uchiha finisher as the ultimate. (Tengai Shinsei- Heaven Conceal) now that makes so much sense as both Asol and Madara have the same voice artist, Neil Kaplan.
Was reading his story and it makes sense because he knew Targon was losing power because the crown's magic and that was when Atreus was not the current Pantheon (My guess... Astraea??) And that has to be atleast a couple hundred years Now modern day the Aspect of war is gone and Atreus is too busy wanting to kill the gods that Asol has no reason to fear
Because its literary his personality and for a pretty good reason too , I mean isn't wrong , he is legit above it all , all tho that's legit how he got scammed and abused by targon to begin with lol he is mad as hall in the cinematic, sure , but he is still pretty much the same personality
Targon if you just left the big scary and beautiful cosmo dragon alone he’d just be minding his own business and making pretty stars. But NOOOOOO, you just had to bind him to show that you could do it. This is what happens when you don’t watch Jurassic Park.
They actually nailed the power fantasy of his character. Not sure how it will actually be, but it looks much more like how his lore makes him out. Actual cosmic power.
Amazing how this ties into lore. The aspect of war Pantheon was the only one capable of keeping Aurelion Sol shackled, now that he is gone the chains are breaking. This could explain why Atreus was trying to climb the mountain and ulted to the cosmos in "The Call", likely to try stop Sol from destroying Runeterra with all those stars. At least that's how I see it
Not quite accurate. We know from the lore that Pantheon lost the control over Aurelion when Aatrox killed the cosmic entity Pantheon. That basically freed Atreus, who's body had been taken over by the entity when he ascended first and Artreus then turned his back on Targon and the Celestials which is why he fights Leona and Aurelion in the Call trailer. But Aurelion is not yet freed from Targon's control.Their grip did slip when Pantheon died, as the last line of this trailer indicates, but he is still under their control for the most part, now just mainly under the control of Aspect of Twilight aka. Zoe and no longer under Pantheon's.
This trailer gave me some good chills. This rework really does capture the immenseness and arrogance of a character on cosmic level. The "I shall be unleashed" part at 1:02 is epic. A deserving end to the trailer and decent animation to express an "unleash" on the summoners rift map. I love this.
They literally gave him the Madara Uchiha finisher as the ultimate. (Tengai Shinsei- Heaven Conceal) now that makes so much sense as both Asol and Madara have the same voice artist, Neil Kaplan.
The soundtrack, the voice, the lore, the design, and the kit. Too bad they didn't make cinematic like old times, especially Asol & Jhin champion trailer is freakin awesome.
Let just agrees that this is the only champ in league who can one shot your whole team with one ability and no one would even complain. He’s so deserved to be op
also, his new ultimate was shown in the 2022 season cinematic - The Call, when Pantheon was fighting Leona, and a falling star knocked Pantheon down from Targon
A really great detail about this trailer is how Aurelion flies from the east to the west. At the start you can see his head approaching Targon, meanwhile his tail is just starting to fly over Zaun and he is already behind the sundisk. During all this his claw is seen in the howling abyss. Imo an amazing way to show the scale of this Dragon from the perspective of someone on the planet and honestly feels more impactful than putting him next to a galaxy since that isn't really relateable.
While the rotating stars thing was a neat idea I feel that now Aurelion looks truly like a larger-than-life, powerful entity. That ult is a crash worthy of a star forger.
good riddance, i remember when they first reworked him after release. then again with the massive revamp to his kit. finally hes getting the attention he deserves.
@@denyel4596 i don’t think it will be boring al all. Late game will feel like fighting against a final boss, and his ultimate will make good synergy with other champs. It’s different, let’s see how this ages.
I love how they show his spell increased in size each time and finally show his special stacked R symbolized how he's slowly regaining power and loosen the grip of Mount Targon over him.
This is... so beautiful and majestic... I could rewatch it hundreds of times and still not be tired. I love this voice actor, fits perfectly with Aurelion Sol's greatness. This space dragon is the only reason why I still have LoL installed on my computer...
i was just thinking the other day of how cool it would be if they gave him a new trailer for his rework, and not only did they do that, but they also got the voice actor to come in and make new lines and everything. What a fantastic rework And not to mention they made it CANON! Targon chained aurelions power, but with his rework, aurelion finally broke off some of those chains, hence the new powerful abilities. So cool.
Neil Kaplan has such a calming yet threatening voice with his characters. Like he knows he is the one in control of every situation. sends chills up my spine every time.
I love how this update is literally updated lore not only updated but added it isn't replacing or changing anything it's just progression of the actual character and I love that and that like "losing your grip" referring to not only the crown that holds him but just the sheer power this drago has. (Edit:) I just realized the crack in the crown as well omg OMG that is such a cool detail
Yesss it looks as if the old Aurelion sol was weaker because of the crown but now his rework means his power is coming again, trying to obtain revenge!
Getting a glimps of what it must be like to live in a world where something like Aurelion Sol could sometimes pass by the planet and you see a Dragon shaped nightsky is crazy
I’m gonna miss the balls but honestly he just wasn’t fun without w being a toggle and in the current state of the game, so scorched earth and making him a 200 year champ with infinite scaling, executes, and max percent health damage. Yeah not bad
Now this is what I'm taking about...never been so hype for a rework trailer before...and also it interconnects with "The Call" cinematics and progresses the lore which is great... oh and nice voice acting too...give me the goosebumps everytime I hear it...gives you the "Now this is what a true Dragon" vibes.
This is it Riot, this is what your trailers should be this is what you should continue to do ! Finally something that reminds us League addics why we first fell in love with your world.
"Which star is your favorite? I made that one." I'm going to miss the Super nova plays, the endless kiting and the Insect plays with the old ult. Not only that, but I'm also going to miss the surprised faces of the others, when I Lock Aurelion sol and show the Potential. But Aurelion needed this rework. It was always frustrated to play almost perfect and still get clapped by an Assassin or fighter with just a single gap closer. Also, this Rework suits his Lore, his Power as the one who is Abel to delete an Aspect just out of spite. As one who can seal rift voids with a wimp. This is The Star forger Aurelion Sol
This resonated to me on so many levels, I couldn't even comprehend so well rn. I'm going to miss those clunky spaceballs revolving in his vicinity, but yeps, he really needed that rework (i think 😆) for him to be played and adored by many coz WE know he deserves it.
Of course, They gave us another toe curling, shivering, goosebumps, amazingly, awesome, artistic, earth shattering, out of this world, out of this galaxy, the entire universe, game changer and unforgettable cinematic about our favorite big boy. IM SO PROUD OF YOU AURELION FOR SLOWLY FREEING YOURSELF FROM THEM. YOU DESERVE THE MOST BESTEST AMAZING THINGS
6 years ago the original trailer of tge star forger came out. 6 days ago this video which shows his true power was released. 6 years and 6 days. Still one of the most badass designs in fiction. This is so allmighty. And that voice...
You guys dropped the ball so hard early in the year, glad to see you know how to walk back over and pick it right back up this was such an amazing effin' trailer i am so hyped, dont appreciate my main being killed but Ill let it slide because my word this dragon is such a badass now :D
I love that most rework and character updates also have more lore added as a bonus, it at least makes the characters feel like they're progressing further and further as the seasons go by
Im so glad that this video is amazing. Im still not holding hopes for the rest of the year, but I hope this video is a reflection on the rest of the year to come.
They actually made it even more powerful (slightly) then his original trailer which seemed impossible to top. Also i just realized that the star that hit Pantheon during "The Call" is confirmed to be ASol's.
it would be amazing to see if they make a cinematic that continues off "The Call". It seemed like it was setting up for Pantheon to be going after the Aspects, and who better to destroy them alongside him than the cosmic entity they imprisoned for millenia? Or just in general it would be cool to see some loose ends from that cinematic tied up. Based on the most recent Riot Devs vid tho I feel like it'll be a long while before we get anything like that
THAT WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG. They made him stronger now because it fits his lore, the shackles put by The aspect Pantheon are weakening...his strength is returning.
This makes me excited for the eventual Shyvana rework. I truly hope that Riot takes the same path towards her and makes her rework as epic as this one.
Getting to hear Aurelion Sol's voice actor absolutely shredding that mic with his godly voice again fills me with joy

@@nicholasharlan6504 I think he’s taking about the void rift in space that Targon forces Aurelion to seal up.
His voice now brings ferocity, menace and overflowing power. The previous lines sound more contemplative and 'above it all' like an entity amused with its own ability to manipulate the cosmos. very interesting
They literally gave him the Madara Uchiha finisher as the ultimate. (Tengai Shinsei- Heaven Conceal) now that makes so much sense as both Asol and Madara have the same voice artist, Neil Kaplan.
Was reading his story and it makes sense because he knew Targon was losing power because the crown's magic and that was when Atreus was not the current Pantheon (My guess... Astraea??)
And that has to be atleast a couple hundred years
Now modern day the Aspect of war is gone and Atreus is too busy wanting to kill the gods that Asol has no reason to fear
@@uphi-downlow5792 there's also a big crack on his crown that we can see at the end
Because its literary his personality and for a pretty good reason too , I mean isn't wrong , he is legit above it all , all tho that's legit how he got scammed and abused by targon to begin with lol
he is mad as hall in the cinematic, sure , but he is still pretty much the same personality
Targon if you just left the big scary and beautiful cosmo dragon alone he’d just be minding his own business and making pretty stars. But NOOOOOO, you just had to bind him to show that you could do it.
This is what happens when you don’t watch Jurassic Park.
im going to miss his stars, but this does fit him so much better. What a glow up!
honestly they could have left his stars as purely visual effect
That kids Versión 😶👀
And Know You can't Hide In Grows
Same. I'm gonna miss him saying "boop" when the stars hit his opponents.
The asteroid belt that Zoe threw?
They actually nailed the power fantasy of his character. Not sure how it will actually be, but it looks much more like how his lore makes him out. Actual cosmic power.
Amazing how this ties into lore. The aspect of war Pantheon was the only one capable of keeping Aurelion Sol shackled, now that he is gone the chains are breaking. This could explain why Atreus was trying to climb the mountain and ulted to the cosmos in "The Call", likely to try stop Sol from destroying Runeterra with all those stars. At least that's how I see it
Omg
For an unchained Aurelion Sol , Pantheon is nothing more than just ant. I don't think he went to the aurelion Sol in "The Call".
@@herseydahil3889but he literally got shot down by Aurelion Sol comet when he was fighting Leona. Why wouldn’t he be coming for Aurelion Sol?
OH SO THT WAS THE THING. YEAH I remember Atreus (pantheon) was climbing and was hit by a giant meteor both he and Irelian Got yeeted.
Not quite accurate.
We know from the lore that Pantheon lost the control over Aurelion when Aatrox killed the cosmic entity Pantheon. That basically freed Atreus, who's body had been taken over by the entity when he ascended first and Artreus then turned his back on Targon and the Celestials which is why he fights Leona and Aurelion in the Call trailer. But Aurelion is not yet freed from Targon's control.Their grip did slip when Pantheon died, as the last line of this trailer indicates, but he is still under their control for the most part, now just mainly under the control of Aspect of Twilight aka. Zoe and no longer under Pantheon's.
This is a whole new look for this Dragon 🐉
cough.. a Cosmic Dragon! pardon..
@@MaikSeil32 Mad? Dragon is Dragon. Cosmic is just detail.
@@DeDastoss for this one guy its different,the fact that he is a cosmic god comes first,not a dragon but a cosmic entity in form of a dragon
@@DeDastoss we will see who will be mad in feew days when a giant star will fall into your house
@@sebaagers Lmao from being mad straight to salty XD just laughable
Wow, this trailer is EPIC! That last line gave me chills.
This trailer gave me some good chills. This rework really does capture the immenseness and arrogance of a character on cosmic level. The "I shall be unleashed" part at 1:02 is epic. A deserving end to the trailer and decent animation to express an "unleash" on the summoners rift map. I love this.
yeah
Had to rewatch 3 times and it still gave me the chills. Amazing voice actor matched with a perfect fit of a champion. I. Love. It.
They literally gave him the Madara Uchiha finisher as the ultimate. (Tengai Shinsei- Heaven Conceal) now that makes so much sense as both Asol and Madara have the same voice artist, Neil Kaplan.
True on that! It's one of the champion trailers that I can rewatch more than once consecutively but still get the same chills
The soundtrack, the voice, the lore, the design, and the kit. Too bad they didn't make cinematic like old times, especially Asol & Jhin champion trailer is freakin awesome.
Let just agrees that this is the only champ in league who can one shot your whole team with one ability and no one would even complain. He’s so deserved to be op
Facts
No one would complain until riot themselves decide to implement it in game
exactly
Mordekaiser will take him to brazil and kill him before he can land anything onto the mortal realm
Nah it still looks really unbalanced and not fun to play against lol
The voice acting once again gives me chills. Incredibly well done!
This is so much better than the preseason cinematic ❣️❣️
I would say this nearly makes up for it, this had me sold ✨
tbh I would be more excited and hyped for the new season if they just made this the official pre cinematic
also, his new ultimate was shown in the 2022 season cinematic - The Call, when Pantheon was fighting Leona, and a falling star knocked Pantheon down from Targon
A really great detail about this trailer is how Aurelion flies from the east to the west.
At the start you can see his head approaching Targon, meanwhile his tail is just starting to fly over Zaun and he is already behind the sundisk. During all this his claw is seen in the howling abyss.
Imo an amazing way to show the scale of this Dragon from the perspective of someone on the planet and honestly feels more impactful than putting him next to a galaxy since that isn't really relateable.
Okay, I didn't expect his story to move forward along the CGU. But I'm loving it, he gets so much more kick with that.
This is gorgeous. I hope they get to work this into the eventual cinematic for this year.
Cant imagine if asol get his cinematic would be majestic and mysty.
This dude is both a big celestial dragon and the most feared ninja in the world.
What a voice actor!
Mararaaaa uchihaaaaa
Its crazy that no other character rework has this much hype or even a video trailer like this in the past. I'm so happy for my boy.
Irelia and swain
Fiddlesticks?
Pantheon.
What? Almost all of them get this...Warwick, fiddles, voli, Irelia?
And if we talk about gameplay updates, this is the first of his scope.
So now we know why Pantheon was hit by ASols attack in „The Call“ (?)
As an Asol main,Hear him laugh with maniacally tone at the end of this trailer make me really happy
how psychopath are you to main asol
@@berkekaansahin4370 i am also one of them man
@@berkekaansahin4370 asol main too here
Wow only 2 ASol mains gathered here. I dunno we should be proud? Happy? Or what?
@@majki113 bring the records book man bring it 😂😂😂
Finally, a genuinely cool designed champion will have the recognition it deserves
While the rotating stars thing was a neat idea I feel that now Aurelion looks truly like a larger-than-life, powerful entity. That ult is a crash worthy of a star forger.
Wxept thta it does feel weard that hes physicaly soo smal in game, witch i get is for balance reason, but it still feels of
It’s so fun to see they attached the “unbound” part of his lore to this trailer and rework. Like the power the could regain is finally unchained
As a big Aurelion Sol fan, it makes me happy to finally see him in action as it deserves. As the all-mighty god of runeterra, this gives me chills.
good riddance, i remember when they first reworked him after release. then again with the massive revamp to his kit. finally hes getting the attention he deserves.
It makes you happy that they made him a boring 08/15 mage?
@@denyel4596 i don’t think it will be boring al all. Late game will feel like fighting against a final boss, and his ultimate will make good synergy with other champs. It’s different, let’s see how this ages.
The way he says "And While I Long To Return To My Stars" With THAT voice.... Dude... Beautiful.
what else can you expect from Madara Uchiha?
I love how they show his spell increased in size each time and finally show his special stacked R symbolized how he's slowly regaining power and loosen the grip of Mount Targon over him.
A sol should also grow in size once he’s stacked up. He’s supposed to be big af. Like cho
Also he used the stacked R against Pantheon
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I've got full body chills from these voice lines and ramping intensity. Wow.
Seeing this trailer really reminds me of the good old champ teaser he had :') Still send me chills down my spine. Really happy to see him great again.
This feels incredible... even better than his last release. Now it looks like he truly has the power behind his words.
Now that- that is a dragon. The chills I get from A Sol’s champion theme will never cease to leave me. Truly amazing
Literal chills. I'm so excited. Had my last game of asol today. May he rest in peace.
As a Asol Main I upvote
Pro tips, if u miss him it's still playable in Wild rift (well i may be wrong but i don't think they did the rework there)
This is... so beautiful and majestic... I could rewatch it hundreds of times and still not be tired.
I love this voice actor, fits perfectly with Aurelion Sol's greatness.
This space dragon is the only reason why I still have LoL installed on my computer...
I literally just cried with excitement and joy, well played rito
i was just thinking the other day of how cool it would be if they gave him a new trailer for his rework, and not only did they do that, but they also got the voice actor to come in and make new lines and everything. What a fantastic rework
And not to mention they made it CANON! Targon chained aurelions power, but with his rework, aurelion finally broke off some of those chains, hence the new powerful abilities. So cool.
Neil Kaplan has such a calming yet threatening voice with his characters. Like he knows he is the one in control of every situation. sends chills up my spine every time.
The ghost of the Uchiha has revived.
I love that the CGU also progresses his lore. Targon's grip is on Asol is getting loose whicg explains his more powerful new abilities.
"What's the matter Targon, losing your grip?"
Haven't felt such chills for a moment
I love how this update is literally updated lore not only updated but added it isn't replacing or changing anything it's just progression of the actual character and I love that and that like "losing your grip" referring to not only the crown that holds him but just the sheer power this drago has.
(Edit:) I just realized the crack in the crown as well omg OMG that is such a cool detail
Yesss it looks as if the old Aurelion sol was weaker because of the crown but now his rework means his power is coming again, trying to obtain revenge!
omg whereeee, what time stamp
@@bronyazaychik3528 like 1:10
Getting a glimps of what it must be like to live in a world where something like Aurelion Sol could sometimes pass by the planet and you see a Dragon shaped nightsky is crazy
VOICE ✅
MUSIC✅
CINEMATIC✅
HYPE✅
NOW THAT'S A REWORK!!
always been the coolest champ. just wish it would reflect more in his ingame visuals
Finally. ASol always was one of my favorit champs in terms of look and personality, now I hope he'll turn into one of my favorites to play as well.
Same! And I will continue to play him lol
I love his personality and aspect but I hated his gameplay, hopefully I’ll enjoy it more now ♥️
His voice is pure unadulterated badass.
Helps that his VA is none other than Neil Kaplan aka Madara Uchiha
I see what you did there
I see here how happy the fans of Aurelion Sol are
because he was almost never seen in the league
and he will again shine brightly:*
Sol was a hot pick in mid lane 5 years ago. Before the meta midlaner used tele
He was amazing then got shafted hard in his reworked w. Glad to see a hopefully better version again
I’m gonna miss the balls but honestly he just wasn’t fun without w being a toggle and in the current state of the game, so scorched earth and making him a 200 year champ with infinite scaling, executes, and max percent health damage. Yeah not bad
i can't stop rewatching this trailer. this is so good.
Now this is what I'm taking about...never been so hype for a rework trailer before...and also it interconnects with "The Call" cinematics and progresses the lore which is great... oh and nice voice acting too...give me the goosebumps everytime I hear it...gives you the "Now this is what a true Dragon" vibes.
This is it Riot, this is what your trailers should be this is what you should continue to do ! Finally something that reminds us League addics why we first fell in love with your world.
love his champion music, its so good, chills
Can't get enough of Asol's voice. It's just perfect!
"Which star is your favorite? I made that one." I'm going to miss the Super nova plays, the endless kiting and the Insect plays with the old ult. Not only that, but I'm also going to miss the surprised faces of the others, when I Lock Aurelion sol and show the Potential. But Aurelion needed this rework. It was always frustrated to play almost perfect and still get clapped by an Assassin or fighter with just a single gap closer. Also, this Rework suits his Lore, his Power as the one who is Abel to delete an Aspect just out of spite. As one who can seal rift voids with a wimp.
This is The Star forger Aurelion Sol
This resonated to me on so many levels, I couldn't even comprehend so well rn. I'm going to miss those clunky spaceballs revolving in his vicinity, but yeps, he really needed that rework (i think 😆) for him to be played and adored by many coz WE know he deserves it.
insec
Of course, They gave us another toe curling, shivering, goosebumps, amazingly, awesome, artistic, earth shattering, out of this world, out of this galaxy, the entire universe, game changer and unforgettable cinematic about our favorite big boy.
IM SO PROUD OF YOU AURELION FOR SLOWLY FREEING YOURSELF FROM THEM. YOU DESERVE THE MOST BESTEST AMAZING THINGS
This season's cinematic looks amazing! 👌
6 years ago the original trailer of tge star forger came out. 6 days ago this video which shows his true power was released. 6 years and 6 days. Still one of the most badass designs in fiction. This is so allmighty. And that voice...
You guys dropped the ball so hard early in the year, glad to see you know how to walk back over and pick it right back up this was such an amazing effin' trailer i am so hyped, dont appreciate my main being killed but Ill let it slide because my word this dragon is such a badass now :D
I love that most rework and character updates also have more lore added as a bonus, it at least makes the characters feel like they're progressing further and further as the seasons go by
already better than the season cinematic by a long shot. this was awesome
After 1 year, Aurelion Sol one of my favorite champions, still impresses me with his divine voice.
Im so glad that this video is amazing. Im still not holding hopes for the rest of the year, but I hope this video is a reflection on the rest of the year to come.
Finalmente meu dragão cósmico tendo o respeito e reconhecimento que merece
They actually made it even more powerful (slightly) then his original trailer which seemed impossible to top.
Also i just realized that the star that hit Pantheon during "The Call" is confirmed to be ASol's.
it would be amazing to see if they make a cinematic that continues off "The Call". It seemed like it was setting up for Pantheon to be going after the Aspects, and who better to destroy them alongside him than the cosmic entity they imprisoned for millenia? Or just in general it would be cool to see some loose ends from that cinematic tied up. Based on the most recent Riot Devs vid tho I feel like it'll be a long while before we get anything like that
Goosebumps! Now this is what I expect to see from Riot when they release something new, GG guys
My god, they really did him justice with those visuals!
0:16 Imagine you look outside off your window and see that in the night sky...
Arelion's voice actor always freaking kills it man. S Class i love it. i got chills listening to this.
RIOT I can take this as an apology for the season 2023 cinematic!
Thank you for giving my star dragon the love he deserves!
I literally had chills all over my neck, this is what I call a perfect step up Riot, kudos to you all
Amazingly well done. As an Aurelion main I am over the moon right now.
The way they showed the Sundisc being inactive, as they are no longer able to funnel his power through it. That was an awesome detail.
I like to image that asol before the rework was weak in game because of Targon, and now that they're "losing their grip" he's getting stronger
man this was awesome. the rework team nailed it and the narrative spun in this vid adds to it brilliantly
This is the first time something has actually given me chills.
I love the cinematic and I love the CGU
In my opinion its the worst rework in history of lol i
Such a beautiful designed champ, glad he's finally a champion in the game.
THAT WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG. They made him stronger now because it fits his lore, the shackles put by The aspect Pantheon are weakening...his strength is returning.
This makes me excited for the eventual Shyvana rework. I truly hope that Riot takes the same path towards her and makes her rework as epic as this one.
As a Shyvana main, me too.
1:10 what's the matter Targon? Life's flashing before your eyes?
