Aatrox has very little utility and perks from his abilities---here is a fix @meddler

Blades of Torment, add in "enemy champions hit with the blades are tormented multiplying the remaining cool down seconds on any abilities on cool down by 1.1, 1.2 1.3, 14, 1.5.

So for example, if you hit a champion with one ability on cool down and the blades hit when its at 10 seconds, it will be moved to 11 seconds, and at max level it would move it to 15 seconds.

This is not only unique but helps give Aatrox something to slow down enemies with who are ability based. Other champions have the abilities to slow attack speed, and items that also slow attack speed, which shuts Aatrox down...why can't Aatrox have something to fight back with?

Blood Price, add in does bonus magic damage to on hit to enemy hit with basic attack after being knocked up with dark flight.

Massacre, add in grants allied champions bonus movement speed and attack speed while moving towards or fighting near Aatrox.

There, what do you think?

No to your ideas to Blades and Price. Makes them way too powerful.

Yes on the idea for Massacre. I'd argue the speed granted to allies should scale with Aatrox's current Blood Pool, so he can't just ult and sit beside an ADC while they shoot really fast. Require him to use abilities and hit enemies to make Massacre better for his allies. Fit's with his lore, too.

Right, and Fiora getting free tenancity, and the the ability to block incoming damage and slowing attack speed isn't too powerful? It totally fucks over champions like Aatrox. Does Aatrox have anything that fucks over any fighters? Answer: N0.

Aatrox has a low pick rate and low win rate. On what basis do you think the blades would be too powerful?

He needs a rework the issue with Aatrox is the whole massive sustain/massive damage at the switch of a button is far too powerful and he was gutted because of that. It's the same idea as Yorick and his old ghouls and Poppy and her old ultimate.

Haha massive damage. Um, I think you need to look at what other champions do in terms of damage before you accuse Aatrox, who needs to use attack speed to get to that extra damage, while dealing damage to himself, of having massive damage. Yes its far too powerful..unless the enemy can slow attack speed like malph or nasus or fiora, or a tank builds frozen heart or randuins. Or he gets stunned and cant heal himself or do any damage.

I think you are out of touch with reality.

It used to be way too powerful upon release and got nerfed into oblivion in the same manner the original poppy and yorick were. I'm not out of touch with reality you just didn't understand what I was saying.

I understand what you are saying and its irrelevant.

Look at fighters and other top laners

Olaf--free resistances Nasus--bonus resistances and health with ult Tryndamere--invincibility, while still being able to attack Pantheon--gets to block unlimited damage for free just by using abilities. Riven, gets a shield that scales off of AD Jax, can block incoming damage

You see the problem? Aatrox has nothing like that except a shitty passive which should read, upon dying, sit there and die again in a few seconds.

He has no functional defensive abilities, and nothing to counter other champions directly.
