Aatrox Gameplay Rework Idea
As the title implies this is just my ideas for what I believe should happen and make Aatrox a better champion and make his kit feel like his lore.
Aatrox has been a hot topic for an up and coming rework, and I'd like to share my ideas on what the rework should be to capture the essence of Aatrox. His abilities should show his crave for blood and fighting but only his ult shows that now, and the lore also says his blade sucks the blood of any fallen foe making him more powerful. So I wanted to capture that.
Aatrox uses a new type of resource for his abilities called Blood
-
Blood Well (Passive): Aatrox blade drinks the blood of his fallen foes increasing the blood in his blood well, giving him blood stacks. Each stack increases his other abilities power and his attack speed. For each stack of blood in the Blood Well, Aatrox's attack speed is increased by 0.1%.
