League of Legends: Making fun of Riot Games just turn into the next level
If you are unaware, there is a service in Western nations, particularly the United States, that allows you to purchase the names of a star in the sky. After the buyer completes the purchase, the star can be called as he wishes, and it will be permanently stay with that name. The cost of purchasing such a star is often between $ 90 and $100.
Essentially, this is a means for people to commemorate a significant occasion since the names of the stars will be properly recorded.
A player bought a star and called it “Nerf Aurelion Sol”
They used this service with League players to “criticize” the balancing team of Riot Games. Ceirax, a Reddit user, purchased and named a star “Nerf Aurelion Sol.” This is considered as a complaint to Riot, as they have nerfed the champion badly.
Aurelion Sol is a champion who has had significant gameplay issues in recent years, forcing it to be “abandoned” by players. The most likely reason is that Aurelion Sol has a fairly uninteresting mechanic that does not grab anyone attention. According to OP.GG, with only 0.67% pick rate, the champion is currently the lowest picked champion in the game.
However, what is confusing here is that Riot Games has consistently nerfed Aurelion Sol in numerous recent patches. Although Aurelion Sol’s win rate is rather high (52.19%), this does not imply that he is OP.
Aurelion Sol players are particularly fond of and play this character well, despite the character’s low pick rate. As a result, it’s understandable that such players’ win rate is higher than usual. Riot Games, on the other hand, appears to disregard this, and nerf on Aurelion Sol makes the League community feel unfair.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Ceirax has purchased a star and named it “Nerf Aurelion Sol,” so that people will remember the ridiculousness of riot’s balancing team.
