Hi, I'm Mighty M, I'm a biological scientist interested in organismal strategy. Beneath is my attempt to fight the current A Sol meta. Updating as testing continues.

The primary position of this case is to test methods through which Aurelion Sol can play league of legends. Currently the champion is a wave clear machine who is unable to effectively fight until 20 minutes. By altering runes, itemization, and ability upgrade order I seek to transform this character into a more viable duelest before 20 minutes into the game.

In terms of Runes:
I have opted to take Arcane Comet

manaflow band
transcendence
scorch

Secondary tree: Precision

presence of mind*
cou de grae

Presence of Mind is the biggest game changer for Aurelion Sol. It regenerates mana/energy for every instance of spell damage, so Aurelion Sols multi-tick abilities (E and Q) now regenerate *** loads of mana in lane. We opt to combine presence of mind with manaflow band to ensure the sustain is consistent, and with the intent to land abilities on our laner established, we take scorch and arcane comet to capitalize.

With Runes that now support our mana regen needs (see above), we can begin to build more aggresively for an impactful early game.

Rylai's Crystal ScepterCritical to Aurelion Sol regardless, we are now able to build it first item. It's cheap, impactful, and gets our dragon's engine going before 20 minutes

Ludens Tempest Ludens has a unique interaction with abilities like those of Aurelion Sol. Dealing ability damage reduces it's coolodown. Aurelion Sol's E and Q make this item reset and reproc incredibly fast. Paired with it's intensive magic pen and high early game mana (600 vs. ROA's 400) this item improves our mid game carry potential and ability to actually reset the flight

Honestly after that you can just slap in whatever mage item you like. They all basically do the same thing, though I'd reccomend these ones over others

Shadowflame
Rabadon's Deathcap
Void Staff
