Not long ago, the official skill set of the new General Aurora was announced and was discussed by the League of Legends community. The reason comes from the skill set of Aurora possessing very high maneuverability with 3 tactics that provide surfing. Even, Aurora's W trick also helps this rabbit become invisible and it is difficult to be “caught” in fighting.
Aurora possesses extremely high maneuverability with a skill set that is more likely to surf
Therefore, right after Aurora was officially introduced, this character was considered too strong. Even former BLV Cedrel of the Lec region could not believe his eyes when he first witnessed the character's skill set. He also said frankly on the waves that he did not believe that Riot would be able to balance the rabbit from Fortjord when she debuted.
Former BLV Caedrel asked Riot directly on the livestream after witnessing Aurora's skill set: “How will you balance this character?”
However, the Riot Games recently also surprised the community when it revealed that Aurora used to have a stronger version than the present. According to sharing from Riot Reav3, this rabbit is designed as a top line. However, after a period of development, Riot realized that this version was too strong and there was no way to balance. Therefore, they made the necessary edits to bring Aurora in the middle.
Aurora was originally designed by Riot
“She (Aurora) was originally designed as a top lane. Although this character played very happy, you would feel extremely uncomfortable if holding a melee general and confronting Aurora. This character was less likely to put damage but more stubborn than the present time.
We then had to reduce Aurora's resistance and bring this character to the mid lane. This is not the original purpose of the design team, but that is forced to do so that Aurora does not become a disaster ” – Riot ReaV3 shared.

In the past, Riot Games has faced many “balanced disasters” with far -fitting generals in the top line. Typically, Karma play with spiritual armor combo – icy gloves in the season 7-8. Even this gameplay also haunts many developers in Riot until now.
Karma was an obsession with League of Legends gamers and balanced staff at Riot with extremely strong resistance play in the season 7-8
With his too high maneuverability, Aurora was already an extremely strong general in League of Legends. She can easily “fly” other melee generals in the top lane and overwhelm the opponent when traveling. Aurora almost extended the nightmare of the Riot sect if Riot kept the resistance of this character. Even Aurora tested the Meta could ruin the upper position when it was superior to other melee generals.
Aurora almost became a “200 years of new generation” of Riot
Therefore, it is understandable that Riot has to make a big change with Aurora and turn this character into a mid lane. Fortunately, they had “turned the car” in time and she was no longer too imbalance like the stage of development. If not, this rabbit can become a “200 new generation” generals and make the Meta of League completely upside down.
