Aurelion Sol has only appeared on League of Legends' live servers in the last two days, but his immense power has already gained some praise from Riot Games developers.
Matt "Phroxzon" Leung-Harrison revealed a slew of tweaks to the Star Forger that will reduce his scaling strength and overall effectiveness. He currently has a 51% win rate at Platinum rank and higher, with one of the highest pick rates in the league, according to League statistics aggregate LoLalytics.
The most powerful crowd control ability in Runeterra, Singularity, is also getting a 15 percent decrease in its AP ratio and a jump in the number of stacks he receives from jungle monster camps.
The teamfight-changing ultimate, Falling Star, is getting a much-needed nerf to its shockwave, with the subsequent slowing from 75 percent to 50 percent. These changes should limit how powerful he can become in the later stages of a game, especially with the amount of damage he can cause when he hits multiple items.
Annie is getting some quick tweaks to her overall durability, starting with her armor per level, which is increasing from 5.2 to 4.7. Her Molten Shield will also cost more mana per level, and the shield's actual effectiveness is getting a 15 percent AP decrease.
