Aatrox jungle isn't dead from PBE

It's just not so braindead that you can stand there and tank the mob all day. Riot trying to make us think, what?

I can STILL solo dragon lv3 with Machete + Refill by using AS Marks, Armor seals, AS glyphs and AS Quints.

If you think the AS glyphs make a huge difference, they don't. I use them as preference because now you don't get punished on your heal like you did before for not going AD. I did CDR glyphs as a troll way to test it again. Still was able to do Blue > Wolves > Red > Raptors > Drag. NO SMITE.

After completing Bloodrazor and reaching lv6, you can 1v1 Rift Herald. No smite needed, but I was using Ninja Tabi so not entirely sure how well you'd do with only jungle item (too lazy to check).

You MUST hit the scuttle with your Blood Price 3-4 times or get 3-4 charges before starting Dragon. Proceed to leave Blood Thirst on the entire time and just wail on the dragon. Use Q to animation cancel an auto to slowly fill up the rest of the gauge (or if you have 4 then just pop it), then use the bonus attack speed from passive to sustain yourself. You will finish at very low health, but it's entirely possible to do without smite. Currently on live, you are actually punished for using potions vs. jungle creeps since the heal is broken and lets you solo everything regardless of what it is (outside of Rift Herald/Baron). Attack speed builds are worse in the jungle as well. So this is a nice change.

18/0/12 mastery with taking the Perseverance instead of 15% CDR on Summoner's, lifesteal/spellvamp maxed on ferocity. No double edged.

Will be looking forward to this Aatrox as a weaker alternative to Shyvana (if his numbers stay low). Definitely usable in the jungle and every topic I seen has kneejerked.

DISCLAIMER: Lv3 Drag is an extreme case and many times you will NOT want to do it because it is high risk. You've been warned.
