According to a video posted on the official League of Legends YouTube channel, the game's development team has new updates on The Star Forger Aurelion Sol's gameplay. As part of the "Devs Spill the Beans" video series, producer Rob “Riot KingCobra” Rosa expressed the team's admiration of Aurelion Sol and their plans for him in the future, stating  "He knows he is one of the most powerful characters in our lore, and we really want his kit and his gameplay to reflect that." 

KingCobra went on to explain that although Riot Games is still in the early ideation stages, their team is excited about their planned direction of having Aurelion Sol  excel as a late-game mage. "Some of Aurelion Sol's spells are going to grow larger and larger in size. As the spells grow in size, their visuals will evolve to reflect the new power that they have." The intended affect of this to make Aurelion Sol's gameplay better reflect his in-game lore. 

Aurelion Sol has been in an interesting predicament for years now — originally released in early 2016. The champion was in development since 2013, and at first went by the name "Ao Shin".  The announced updates clearly reflect previous comments to the public made by Ryan 'Reav3' Mireles.

"Let’s talk about Aurelion Sol. Back when we announced the Star Forger, a lot of you were super hyped for his release. So hyped that he had one of our highest purchase rates on day one. Tons of you really loved and wanted to play a gigantic, arrogant star dragon", Reav3 stated. "Unfortunately, we didn’t really deliver on a gameplay kit that matched that excitement, as most of you dropped him after just a few games. His playrate plummeted to one of the lowest in the game, where he has been ever since. That said, he still comes up in the top ten most liked visuals whenever we do champion surveys, even though his gameplay always ends up near the very bottom of the list."

When these updates will be implemented has not been announced.
