Aatrox's E passive is kinda dumb

So far every time I've laned against him he easily sustains through everything by just smashing the minions which also is free shove because he's manaless.

The heal should be reduced above half health.

His heal is only 1/3 effective against minions...

It should be 1/6 then

Classic boards.

He heals too much in lane while spamming free wave clear.

I don't care if it's 1/3. There are 6 minions per wave and he hits all of them.

If he's got the skill at rank 1 for 20%, then if he hits you for 100 dmg he will heal 20. If he hits 6 minions for 100 each that's 6.66 per minion so he heals for 66. More than 3 times as much as he heals for hitting you. (also it's post mitigation so he actually heals less off you in this comparison)

"b-bbut its 1/3 vs minions guys!!"

If he shoves the lane, gank the dude. He's got legit no escapes lmao

Pretty much what HI IM A CAT said. If he shoves the way take advantage of it, freeze it hard and ask for your jungler to gank if he can since aatrox hates very VERY much 2v1. Also you obviously have no idea how balancing works. If you nerf his healing, you have to buff another part of his kit. Which you will probably whine about it because you refuse to learn to play against him.

What if my jungler doesn't feel like it? I guess I just get to sit under my turret and dodge his shit and eventually lose my turret.

NyarlathοtepJul 13, 2018

Then shit man. The game is balanced around team play. But still you can do shit. Engage him when his passive is down, engage when he uses his q. Engage him if he mispositions.

He has more minions due to his free waveclear so I can't really win trades even if I try to go for them in between his cooldowns. Literally my only hope is my jg who would rather do other stuff.

If you have strong aoe (like illaoi) then the extra enemy minions arent a threat. At least after lvl 6

KhristophorosJul 13, 20181 votes

I mean to be fair I've only played Garen vs him who does have AoE but I have to go into the minions so I risk getting hit by Qs. I've even gotten kills against him as Garen but overall it's really stupid because eventually he gets the turret.

But he's a bad rework and weak, the Boards and Reddit told me that he's useless

Inb4 someone says the healing is the only thing that makes Aatrox functional.

Get out of here.

He is fine, as it is.

Aatrox is very oppressive in lane but he doesnt exactly do a lot outside of it.

AstorineJul 12, 20181 votes

Like Nasus but his heals are not nullified by a horrid early game. Like tryndamere but... but... ... he can ranged poke you if you try to cs?

LordGeovanniJul 12, 20181 votes

Nasus' Early game is Much better than Aatrox Old or new Nasus Just has the potiental to one shot later in the game which makes him feel weak in early game in comparison
