Aurora with utopian figures at Worlds 2024
When watching Worlds 2024, the audience can easily recognize the overwhelming Aurora right from the ban/selection when the champion is often removed from the red team. Statistics from the Swiss round shows that Aurora is the general who owns the most prohibited turns up to 65 times as well as the highest occurrence of Worlds 2024 (96.3%). Even a general is considered to be extremely powerful – Yone cannot be compared to Aurora in these parameters.
Since the Swiss World Worlds 2024, Aurora has been banned up to 65 times with 96% of the ratio of appearance
The reason for this overwhelming Aurora is that this character is too strong and comprehensive in both the upper and middle line. Possessing a large amount of damage, high maneuverability and especially the ultimate too “imba”, Aurora proved to be strong in most of the match. Even this champion can cause huge mutations in fighting with the ultimate and help the home team “flip the rafter” unimaginable. It is clear that most teams at Worlds 2024 do not want to confront such an unbalanced character, so it leads to Aurora's soarent ban.
MDK used to “hate” before GAM when Kiaya owned Aurora
Aurora received “death sentence” from Riot Games
With such a superior performance, the fact that Aurora was severely suffered from Nerf Worlds 2024 was forced to happen. However, League of Legends gamers did not expect that Riot Games would launch a comprehensive remake with Aurora (essentially reducing strength) just a few weeks after Worlds 2024 ended. Even the ability to lock the enemy champion in the scope of the ultimate between the two worlds is completely removed. Details of Aurora's update:
Passive – Purification of the soul: When activating the passive will no longer increase the speed of running
Q – Spiritual spell: The trigger will be automatic, slightly increasing cooldown.
W – The other side of the curtain: No cooldown immediately when participating in defeat, will now provide movement speed when using skills.
R – Between the two worlds: No longer enhancing the ability to speed up the movement for Aurora. Skills no longer have the effect of enemy champions within the scope of impact.
Aurora is heavily from Nerf from intrinsic to the ultimate
The aforementioned power reduction has deprived Aurora's power, especially in maneuverability and “virtual variables” in fighting. The W trick with stealth effects is no longer likely to cooldown will make Aurora more easily overcome. Moreover, the ultimate of this champion could not prevent the opponent from escaping with skillful, moving or simply speeding skills.
Aurora “New” is now more likely to be overcome
According to sharing from Riot Squad5 (the editor for Aurora), the purpose of the remake is that this character will no longer be abused by professional teams. Basically, Aurora after editing will require players to handle the skills accurately to deal the highest amount of damage. Hopefully this editing will help Aurora find a balance instead of becoming a “nightmare” for gamers like at the last Worlds 2024.
