Aurelion Sol’s play rate skyrockets after his rework, but his win rate is suffering

Aurelion Sol was the latest League of Legends champion to receive a total gameplay update earlier this week, and like almost all champions who get a rework, Aurelion Sol’s play rate went through the roof following his overhaul. 

In the few days that have passed since his rework, Aurelion Sol has seen his pick rate in solo queue games jump from less than one percent to 16 percent. The champion’s rework has turned him into a popular choice for mid laners on the Rift, and the only reason that 16 percent pick rate isn’t higher is because of a high ban rate that sits at a lofty 55 percent—the highest among all champions in the game, according to League stats site U.gg.
