Playing against Aurelion Sol
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Punish him aggressively in the early game: Aurelion Sol is very weak before his stacks and items.
2
Assassins like Zed or Fizz destroy him in lane — he has no reliable defensive mobility.
3
Don't let the game go long: an Aurelion Sol who farms freely becomes a monster in the late game. Force fights early.
4
Side-step his Q (breath): if you dodge it, he doesn't stack and his DPS is considerably reduced.
