My Aatrox Thoughts

Aatrox Rework Thoughts Passive: Blood Well Cooldown 160/140/120/100

• Enemy Units that die within Aatrox's presence will have their blood stored, casting spells and attacking also store blood. BloodWell will start to decay by 20% each second if Aatrox has not used an ability or has been out of combat for 3 seconds.

• BloodWell Amounts: 100/200/300
  • Enemy Units that die give 10%
  • Attack Enemy Units grant 10%
    • So 10 hits for a full bar
      • Remember!!! Units that die also give 10% So last hitting 5 minions would give you 100%
  • Enemy Champions that die restore 60% of Aatrox's BloodWell

• Upon reaching zero health, for 3 seconds Aatrox will go invulnerable and can cast: Q/W/E/R: Casts a bigger version of his "E" ability dealing more physical damage and slowing longer depending on BloodWell , if an enemy champion dies to this ability Aatrox will heal 30% of his life gaining a burst of movement speed, if no enemy champion dies to this then Aatrox dies.

  • Kinda like Zyra's old passive except it's not true damage
  • basically if he doesn't get the kill then he dies... • Passive goes on cooldown IF one of the spells is used

• IF nothing is used within 3 seconds Aatrox will die, his passive will not go on cooldown. BloodWell now has five bars to indicate attack speed gained

  • Gold indicates that he has not yet hit the mark yet
  • White indicates he has one bar filled
  • Red indicates that his BloodWell is full

Q: Dark Flight Cooldown 16/14/12/10/8s -

• Aatrox flies up into the air then dives down into an area dealing physical damage, knocking up enemies in the middle for 1 second.

W: Blood Price (Active #2) Cooldown 8/7.5/7/6.5/6s -

• Aatrox fills his BloodWell full and his attacks will deal physical damage plus 10% of the enemies current health for 4 seconds, each attack made will take 5% of his current health, he also retains the attack speed for the duration. After using this ability BloodWell will go back to 0%.

TTYL: Aatrox's passive seems nice but usually when you revive back from death you barely have anytime to do anything else (because most Aatrox players barely build tanky) and your passive get's wasted,

Most Tanky Items would be but they are situational, except visage it's great for Aatrox giving Aatrox Zyra's old passive can help him do damage even if he can't come back. They should definitely move Hellbent to Q's knockup it would make more sense and would push towards people actually hitting their knockups, increasing it's cast size and hit box would be good too, this is what i would most likely want to see. As for W i feel the toggle is great but it lacks situational use, most of the time you usually have W switched to healing when laning and then toggled to his empowered third attack when you want to trade. Percent health damage would of course put you in good terms with the latest champions like

I love playing tanky champions so percent health damage hurts ALOT

E can stay the same but it's cooldown should be lowered for late game, where Aatrox can barely do anything.

His Ultimate should absorb his enemies Attack damage just because he's great at dueling attack damage based champions and giving him a chance to "Turn The Tide" would be cool.

These are my thoughts about Aatrox and his curent stage, i really enjoy playing Aatrox so i didn't want to overhaul everything in his kit, but wanted to keep in touch with it while improving certain abilities.
