Anklespanking explained all of reworked Aatrox's pproblems
It's really the whole video that he preached pure Justice for all Aatrox Main's out there. But the juiciest part for me was 24:15

24:15? This video is half an hour long?
Yeah, i'm not clicking that lol. Rather wait until his release and make up my own opinion.
I don't know. Back at riven release it took people months to figure out the best combos and all the things you could do with her kit and all the animation cancel. And now we are judging a rework with very a very similar kit based on just a few games experience. For me personally all these gameplay opinions have no value...
###I would be fine with Aatrox if it wasn't for these reasons:
- Why his R Movement Speed only granted for a second and then fully gained again when out of combat, when it's literally suppose to be used when fighting...
- Why his E needs a Cooldown, when the charge duration is already so high (recharge duration is 20 seconds at rank 1)...
- Why as a proposed "Juggernaut" he is so squishy...
- Why his Passive is consumed when hitting minions/monsters...
###But I will just hope for the best when Riot will release him on live servers.
Meanwhile (as someone who loves the rework), I felt vindicated at 27:00
Who?
Also, clickbaity as fuck title. I'm disappointed in you for actually clicking on anything with a title like that for any purpose but to report it as clickbait.
His walk animation looks so fucking dumb. Like... Really dumb... I just cant put it in any other way. Cuz its just that. Dumb. He looks like... Dumb fuck walking like that... Damn im trying to say it in some other way but i just cant.
To be honest hit kit now looks like something i might want to play but that walk animation... Holy shit...
:/ meh .... pretty much every time i look at him i can't trow away the feeling that this new Aatrox has not been made for Aatrox's players like me ( while i'm not playing lol at all lately i spend a lot of time on him in the past season ).
As a matter of fact RIven it's one of the most loved champ, she have a huge fanbase and ppl dropping serius money on her skins ... pretty sure this new Aatrox aim at those players in order to provvide them another champ to drop money into.
q wind ups feel too slow, almost forcing you to use e to land them, bloodwell should be fillable even outside of ult otherwise the revive will be like most of the ones in this vid, 200 hp
I have no idea why you would post this video to champion your opinion. I only watched 12 minutes because this isnt a review format hes just casually playing a game and giving his opinion(not even structuring it to convince people or back up his ideas, merely voicing them. For the most part anyways.) but i skipped to the 24 minute mark since you made note of it. So far hes said is that he personally dislikes it(a lot actually), new aatrox is reminiscent of riven which makes it lazy(sure, why not. Their differences are pretty minor) and that they failed aatroxes thematic design with the new kit because it apparently doesnt facilitate jumping into the enemy team unlike his old design, which i disagree with considering new aatrox still dashes and has multiple large aoe's and an innate deaths dance passive on his E so that when he jumps into the enemy team and hits all those large AOE's he will heal for a lot and continue dealing damage. Conversely to old aatrox who picked one target and right clicked them to death with only his ultimate being the only skill that asked aatrox to be amongst multiple enemies and that was only for his additional bloodwell stacks not additional damage or resistances per champion hit or what have you. Not particularly inspiring.
welcome to how 50% of all the mains of every champion rework ever. Join the club I guess. I felt this way with galio, poppy, kat, leblanc (altho thankfully she got reverted) talon (albiet less so) and pretty much anyone else who has ever gotten reworked.
Riot's goal with reworks is to keep big elements of a champion's thematic and gameplay in tact when they make changes to everything. They kinda broke their rule with Aatrox with the rework. They posted on the Aatrox subreddit and explained that essentially Aatrox's current kit is extremely binary and impossible to balance and there was no way to make a kit with similar gameplay that could be healthy. So they essentially had to change his whole gameplay pattern and move him away from an auto attack based drain tank. His overall thematic stayed pretty similar, but it's not that great imo.
Definitely one of the worse reworks they have done imo. I'm not an Aatrox main though so my opinion probably isn't as meaningful as their opinions.
