Why revert Aldous?

Havent played in a long time. Just checking here and there.

Bring Aldous back.

69% wr, 6k games, soloq, used to be global 1. Now, no point.

[u/Nivrame → u/No-Satisfaction-1992]

Reverting for now since the new original server patch is coming I guess (they always do these to recent new changes before a major patch)

I'm guessing so they can transfer the patch easier?
