Aatrox Dark Flight is not Flight

Aatrox has his issues and his annoyances, but by far the worst in my opinion is his 'dark flight'. Unlike every other dash I've ever seen, you spend way to much time up in the air in the same spot. I am constantly getting knocked out of motion by every type of cc ever, resulting in my untimely death. It would be so much better with a 'Winged Dash' That is just a renekton like dash from wing support.

By itself, this wouldn't be that much of an issue, but playing Aatrox is already an uphill battle against most everyone he fights in his lane.

Working as intended buddy. Aatrox is supposed to get knocked out of his Q 50% of the time. Working as intended. Get gud scrub XD (JK JK)

Yeah we're going to have to wait for about another 3 years before we see any actual aatrox changes. Right now Riot is heavily working on how to buff Riven while not making to look like a buff. She'll probably get more new mechanics and maybe even a new skin XD

Hell, Fiora got a like 2 kit touch-ups before her rework and she's had way more popularity than Aatrox even before those changes.

Apparently!!! What you mean 50%, its at least 90% when its someone like Diana or Riven shows up! If he's gonna spend that much time hovering in the air looking around, should at least get a quinn style area view effect lol

Because they are saving these knockups just for you,you should feel special. They are doing the same for every dash in the game btw

They released him to be a drain tank, but they slowly decided they wanted drain tanking out of the game.

Aatrox main here disagrees. His dash time up is perfectly fine,if you want an instant knockup without counterplay go play Malphite. Aatrox is fine as he is,he is support to get knocked out of Dark Flight because every dash works like that,and he shouldn't be immune to CC during that

I don't want an instant knockup without counterplay, I wouldn't mind if the knockup was even removed. What I'm saying is that compared to other dashes, all of them that I can think of, he spends a lot more time going up than over. Any other dash, trist, luc, riven, as soon as you hit the dash you are moving /away/ from the enemy. Aatrox on the other hand, half your animation is going up giving all the cc time to hit you in the face.

Edit: One slightly comparable movement move I can think of is Ezrials flash, but from what I've seen he still continues the movement even if he gets cc'd and just ends up cc'd on the other side. I didnt' mention this before because his isn't a dash, but thought someone might point it out.
