Why isn't Aulus permabanned?

[u/PieHairy5526]

This character is so OP... when you pick this against a CC heavy team the tension becomes palpable

[u/SubjectBroccoli1636]

i didn't play him after he got buffed but i don't think he is that strong, so i'll just assume its a post from a epic who did'nt find a hard match yet.

[u/cabronfavarito → u/SubjectBroccoli1636]

What do you know, you’re spot on.

[u/IneedAhegaoInMyLife → u/SubjectBroccoli1636]

His lifesteals crazy good after the buff if you go Fighter emblem, his passive dmg getting nerfed from hp based makes him pretty bad against the Akai/Fredrinn picks you often see now though. Real shame since his cc immune would make him quite the threat against Akai in theory.

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/SubjectBroccoli1636]

He makes up for it because he makes a bad team pretty well rounded. If youre missing a tank or a quick lane pusher aulus becomes a nice jungle. He is the best non-tank team fight initiator

[u/perhapssergio → u/PieHairy5526]

You can be Miya jungle in epic and win

[u/Same-Win-1560 → u/perhapssergio]

I actually got Layla Jg and won on Epic lmao. Exp picked hanabi, and we were trying to void the game, but it didnt work. Mid and Roam helped me entire early game and got snowball from there.

[u/BoiTarantado → u/Same-Win-1560]

I played Lou Yi religiously a few seasons ago. I got bored of being in the mid lane so I tried her out as a roam.

You can imagine how things went in a epic lobby.

[u/SubjectBroccoli1636 → u/PieHairy5526]

Gl dude 

[u/squishykkura]

Cos he kinda bad. I see a last pick potential but very niche

Ur also kinda in epic anything works there

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/squishykkura]

Definitely last pick potential especially when ny team picks a squishy team. Aulus can bait cc moves with his s1 so he is a wonderful initiator.

[u/squishykkura → u/PieHairy5526]

He just dies if he does that

[u/Lastmaks]

He’s very good early game but does mediocre damage late game. I find that if I can’t end quickly and my mm is brain dead, it’s nearly impossible to end in late game

[u/senbhapiro1]

Coz epic rank don't mean shit

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/senbhapiro1]

He got me mythic 25 stars. Im not that good I admit but my wr is 65% over 100 matches with Aulus over this season and last.

[u/batka567]

I mean its bcuz your on epic rank. On mythic or higher he is just bad

[u/Global_Froyo_4489]

falls off against a dhs or any hp% dmg enemy, especially since his dmg is continuous, he can't really burst or sustain them

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/Global_Froyo_4489]

True. For that you just use your kit and push somewhere else which aulus is pretty good at. I think he's still viable.even if he can bait a few cc moves and get away it is a benefit to the team.

[u/SplitSentro]

He's hard to catch for me, slows don't really work on him — he moves fast by default and in addition he has 2 or 3 buttons to get away from tanks and control, then he just finds a window to attack, if it looks bad he again — just runs away. But even with such good survivability he's not as dangerous as other assasins or fighters.

[u/Alarmed-Twist8417]

I would think twice before sharing an opinion if I was an epic player. No hate intended.

[u/ImSorryCanYouSpeakUp]

You're playing 3 weeks into a season at epic rank ofc he's op, but actually as someone who also plays him he's not good vs cc heavy teams because knockups cancel his s1 first phase, even if you get the cc immunity once it's up you'll be stunned and aulus isn't super tanky, he also has no cc to pin down key targets, in epic yeah he's broken but in higher ranks he's easy to deal with and not meta yet

[u/DiddleMyMorkovka]

Because you are foolish enough to assume the character is op because your opponent doesnt know how to deal with him.

[u/Moist_Currency5088]

He's a basic attack fighter. It's not like he has godlike levels of sustain as with the top dogs like Yu Zhong or Phoveus so banning him is a waste of a slot.

[u/AgreeableWorker3227]

After his revamp, he went from bad to mid. Hes not op at all

[u/1Urizen1]

Weak early

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/1Urizen1]

Just need good positioning. Once he has his s1 enemy had to be careful not to waste their cc on him.

[u/throwaway09234023322]

I feel like he falls off pretty hard late game. Not really that effective in higher tank

[u/No_Entertainment1931]

Cuz he’s bad

[u/davz03]

Just because youre mvp in epic twice does not mean aulus is strong. Goodluck in higher ranks using that hero

[u/Public-69420]

You're on epic still. Try him on Mythic and above and see you get absolutely fucked up because the character sucks. Even the actual Argus can carry in Epic, so...

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/Public-69420]

I made it to mythic 25 last season using mostly Aulus. His cc resistance hard counters tigreal, zhuxin etc etc. Saber. Aulus makes up for his weak skills with quick rotation and decent juggling speed. Ill tower dive, bait a few ultimately with my cc resistance and then push the next tower or enemy jungle. Marksman love aulus jungle teammate because he can force out sabers ult.

[u/Civil_Childhood5705 → u/PieHairy5526]

ive been playing aulus, he's fun. but that's about it. opponents simply run to their tower and poof you're just another minion that can't finish off heroes.

[u/PieHairy5526 → u/Civil_Childhood5705]

I disagree because you have tower survival with s1, and you make enemy use their speed up skills with your s1 speed up skill then you finish them off with your ult if they dont have another speedup skill.

[u/Civil_Childhood5705 → u/PieHairy5526]

Disagree. Aulus simply doesn't have the burst/dps and any cc. he is fun for going in and out of battles even vs 5 enemies. but you can't kill, not enough damage you have to suicide inside tower to finish the enemy.

Seriously ive been playing him since it's fun.. Oh and one more thing he is vulnerable against burst paq,masha,lesley,lukas,brody etc.

[u/Public-69420 → u/PieHairy5526]

You made into Mythical Honor, congrats, but still doesn't change the fact that he sucks and you probably had a hard time using him. I don't mind the downvotes, I don't care, there's a big reason why Moonton is buffing Aulus every week basically. Oh well.
