Playing against Aurora
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Get out of her R zone quickly if possible — Flash or dash out before you get trapped.
2
Her W has a long cooldown — once she uses it, she's vulnerable to engages and CC.
3
Aurora is fragile without her cooldowns: if she uses Q and W, force the trade because she has no answer left.
