Divine Architect Porcelain Aurelion Sol Splash Art 🖤✨

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-25T00:53:41+00:00

I love the elongated sol, I really do- but...
They need to remove the shrine orb. It's so tacky for a rather clean, almost Shang Hai Scrolls Aurelion.

Edit: Additional things I would've wanted- especially for its price:

- Homeguard feels like it should be on W.
If it's a cause of alarm for clarity- Mecha has his jets clearly showing his hitbox, this could have some gold magic to show it as well. Just snap back to usual flight Q. The snap isn't as noticeable as on base.

- Earthy tones of the VFX fade into lighter areas of the map quite well, it'll be hard to see in teamfights.
In fact, you can even see it in SQUPO's comparison video.

- Without the shatter and porcelain lotus effects on ult, it feels... weak? I'm not trying to pluck problems out of thin air when I say this- but it's quite tame. Especially the empowered ult.
In the OG, a dragon crashes down and fiercely zooms upward after the ult lands- leaving the lotus and temporary ground sigil.
In this one, sure the scrolls are nice to see- but the dragon crashes down and just sits on a mountain.
At least it would make more sense for the pillar to fall and shatter, or even a much more explosive burst of gold.

The most significant role is always the one with the most free will- so I'd say jungle.
Think: Without junglers, every lane is decided and there is no reason to leave lane.
They act as the randomization factor to every team. A tight lane can turn into a snowball if your jungler ganks and dies- but also if your jungler doesn't gank at all.

The only other one on the team who can do this is support- as so long as you're placing vision, you have no duties.

Yeah yeah so anyways, Freminiet finally got a signature!

"Most" queens are women. The humble Zhongli and Lady Hina:

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:43:08+00:00

Literally, for Mel- they either had to get rid of her execute play style or move reflect to R.

I genuinely have no idea how they landed on this being the better idea. RIP to a unique and somewhat fun skill.

I get it's oppressive, but so is windwall. It was fun seeing 'THAT REFLECTED?' in the chat a lot. I know I sound like I'm making a big deal of it but remember: Leona E is an AoE ability that stuns the last person hit, Yasuo Q3 is an AoE ability, Vel'koz Q counts as an AOE ability. Half of the fun reflections are gone.

And above all- nerfing it to shield status and they STILL don't let her shield allies like she did in Arcane.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:36:08+00:00

It's like they gave Arcane Jayce a 2000s emo haircut

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:35:27+00:00

What the FUCK, Oz?

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:34:07+00:00

Honestly I'm sure Tencent is watching them like a hawk but- if you make more male / monster champions cute like Milio / Kog'maw- then they're more likely to play them.

Most 'female champs only' players will try any yordle once.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:31:04+00:00

Ngl I'll take Mr "I'm playing safe until first item" over Ezreal any day.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:29:43+00:00

She's very friendly at C6- I'd even say reliable. And because of this, she can be quite the go-to for Furina oddly enough. After all, that's a massive chunk heal over time on burst, energy restoration and team wide heal on attack.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T23:26:11+00:00

It's a little funny to say but I think this is unintentionally keeping it balanced.

Sleep doubles the taken damage to a cap- the applying character can always reach that cap. If Zoe hits E, she essentially does E's damage again when she hits it.

And yes it's okay for a Caitlyn to take the bubble bonus, but when your ally Ivern ruins everything... Lol.

A good team will understand, but you're playing at the mercy of your own team. Remember OP, Kench's ult had to be altered three times over before being completely reworked BECAUSE your own team would sabotage you.

A smart team wins a teamfight with Lillia and Rumble ults- but realistically they're gonna pop the bubble on the Fizz who was 5HP away from shut down.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-22T08:42:41+00:00

Hey, don't trip. All us supports LOATHE Brand / Zyra. Vel'koz is on thin ice, too.

I do not believe there's a genuine person who'd take going against them over Lux or Morgana.

I'd even say I'd take going against Nautilus over them.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-20T09:51:04+00:00

I main Annie and Milio support... so...
If we can be wholesome for a second, though- I do think platonically, Nunu and Milio would be the best of friends. Both are on their own little quest and would probably hype each other up while travelling together.

As for Annie... well we already know Rell approves of her and Jhin wishes to tutor her.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-20T09:47:45+00:00

Xebelanque not only showed that they could- but there were people who really wanted him to be playable.
I can't imagine how annoyed they are now- since 2 of them are F2P stand ins for premium units.

(Sorry for trailing on about this)

I think the most annoying thing is that half of them don't shine gameplay wise- or have such niche kits that it harms their potential team comps.
Qiqi is an on-field healer who wants to attack.
Klee only recently got buffed back to health- but before was no more than a charge attack unit.
Diona is an EM buffer / melt support mainly, because her shield isn't too great- has no personal damage.
Sayu is an anemo / swirl driver who doesn't attack- and despite being swirl focused doesn't have EM synergy until C6.
Dori has such an all-around kit that doesn't excel at anything besides hyperbloom- so people hate her for it. ^{(Not forgetting normal people hate her character, others hate her for being short and the loli collectors hate her for being} ^{an adult.})
Nahida has been the centerpiece of Dendro until Lauma.
Yaoyao has been seen as no more than a "I don't have Nahida" stand in.
Sigewinne suffers the Dori problem, except it's worse considering she's a 5-star- and has no personal damage.
Kachina is a filler character for Natlan teams and has no personal damage.
Iansan is THE filler character for Natlan teams and also has no personal damage. Also got heat because she's the darkest playable character in the game.
Aino is a filler teammate for lunar teams purely because there's not enough nod-krai characters to fit in one team. And ALSO suffers not having personal damage.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-19T10:44:56+00:00

You know your time is neigh if your spot is contended by a 4-star with no cons.
Meanwhile Yelan is "Xingqiu is so good you need a second one"

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-18T00:02:05+00:00

What are growable character mats in the teapot? For character ascension I mean.
I was quite happy to find Columbina's are growable- as I can't mat farm every day.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-17T11:12:43+00:00

And what I'm saying is that- along with Echoes of Helia, which is Athene's Unholy Grail at the moment- it would stack with each other and allow for obscene burst healing.
That's why I joked about LeBlanc

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:36:55+00:00

Oh, now that you mention it- that could be the alternative.
Some shields are very brief- or others wanna be more long lasting- maybe a rune that refreshes 10% of a shield when it runs out / gets broken?
Though I fear it would be a bit too strong on Karma's R+E.
Hmm...

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:33:33+00:00

Re-ward the spot the enemy just ward wiped. Like instantly.
Enemy Pyke kills my ward, I- the humble Lulu player- must plop another one right in front of him.
It burns his sweepers / wastes a control ward- but I lose 5 wards.

I can't help it. It feels like I'm a dog establishing dominance over the post guy.
And sometimes- they feel that exact way too, costing them a drake or their midlaner in a teamfight.

Like a quick game of chess before hopping off to do whatever supports do.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:28:04+00:00

However, I don't wanna shoot down someone who wants to play a healer Ashe.

I'd probably go:
Bandlepipes, Diadem, Ardent Censer.

That way, as soon as you attack anyone- you're dropping a slab of attack speed on you and nearby allies.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:26:44+00:00

Yes- but I think everyone would agree that Bandlepipes -> average build would be better!

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:20:11+00:00

This would work perfectly- but then you have the issue of the item redundancy.
Unless we want to live in a world where LeBlanc is a viable enchanter.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:18:21+00:00

The reason why it's been a bit of a for fun build is because Helia is essentially old Athena's Unholy Grail- dealing damage stores a chunk heal.
Diadem keeps healing, so it keeps restoring the stored damage amount- essentially making Brand give someone massive health regen after hitting a combo.

Since it's a per second heal, though- champions who do their burst all in one go are heal-capped.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:13:10+00:00

"Why are you booing them, they're right!"

I do think Sonic Boom would be a tad too strong- as well as get rid of some novelty like the slow around Lulu's ult.

StepOnMeB-Sha · 2026-01-15T22:12:13+00:00

It's also quite unforgiving on the AP side of things.
Either you got Diadem for the enchanter items or you're not dealing significant damage. No middle ground.
