The pros of the League of Legends Championship Series have had the first chance to test the next League Champion, Aurora, and they’ve been quick to describe her as slick, annoying, overwhelming, and just plain awesome.

Aurora will be my new permaban in League of Legends

Aurora won't be hitting live servers until Patch 14.14, but a few lucky LCS pros got to test out her kit under the watchful eye of League Champions Product Lead, Lexi "Lexical" Gao, and gave their honest feedback in a video posted to YouTube by the LCS on June 25. It's safe to say that Bwipo, Jojopyun, Licorice, Isles, Vulcan, Meteos, Sniper, and even Impact agree that she's a lot of fun, and that she'll be "broken" come launch.

While the League pros put Aurora through her paces, Vulcan and Busio pointed out that Aurora’s kit and speed are similar to Lillia’s, with a heavy focus on AP scaling and trading. There’s added value too, with her ultimate being a clear game-changer, much like Mordekaiser’s. Unlike Mordekaiser’s ultimate, however, Aurora’s ultimate stays on the Rift and can drag anyone into it (unlike Morderkaiser’s single target ability), making it very useful in teamfights.

After a few plays, Contractz also compared her ultimate to a "cage fight," but with an added twist: Aurora can teleport into her ultimate, making for a unique experience if you're the one controlling her. The only catch, he added: it's tricky to master.
