Aatrox Idea - World Ender (R)

TheDevice··26 votes·10,386 views

So I sorta posted some semblance of an idea about adding an additional active to his ult in another thread but since then I've evolved the idea a bit to really solidify the concept.

(R) World Ender (Unchanged) When blood well is full he gains access to the secondary activation, Dark Meteor.

(R2) Dark Meteor Dives onto selected location damaging all enemies in an area and triggers (immobilized) revive. Activated while above 50% health: Unstoppable and knocks-up enemies. Activated while below 50% health: Deals massive bonus damage.

Overall this skill incentivizes his own demise/revive and grants the Aatrox player a bit more control over it rather than it being in the hands of the enemy to determine (his fate :P). It also gives his kit that world ending finale which some might feel it lacks currently. Goes well with his theme. Its range and visuals would be on-par with his old Dark Flight (Q).

His ult actually is fine for the most part as-is but if he did need a real boost kit-wise, this would be cool, I think.

Also, these are some other idea's I thought were good

1.) Passive While active, Aatrox deals bonus damage to minions and neutral monsters. Aatrox deals bonus damage on his next attack against an enemy champion and reduces heals and shields on the target.

2.) Can move (slowly) during Q1

3.) Hitting the edge of Q reduces E cooldown

4.) E active reduces Deathbringer Stance cooldown by 4 seconds (no longer reduces from Q hits)

Glad someone agrees that his ult needs to actually do damage, because as it stands, he may look intimidating while in his ult, but he's really just fucking useless LOL

He's not Riven 2.0

A lot of Champions with Transforming R's, have something in their R that either synergizes with their kit, or is 2 cast.

Renekton and Nasus have transformation/get big R's that for renekton makes him gain furry until it ends(Synergy) or for Nasus lets him get tankier, though he's a pretty old design.

For Swain and Riven, their's actually make a lot of sense to be given double casts, as sort of an "Final Attack" and so does Aatrox(But with the revive on it, it's probably already OP enough and doesn't need it unless you nerfed him somewhere else.)

Well then all I could say is if you want to keep Aatrox similar to what he was in the past, then you MUST keep his revive mechanic.

However if you're will to sacrifice the revive on his ulti, then maybe they could squeeze in an R2. But then you enter territory where his champion design becomes off-model and resembles nothing of his original character at which it might be a new champion altogether. I really don't see it fitting that he could possibly have both a finisher and revive tacked into his ulti alongside his bonus AD steroid. That would be overloaded.

I've suggested in another thread that if he had his hitboxes on his Q enhanced by like 50 units in length and width to compliment his growth in size after casting his Ultimate and his swordplay on his Q casts. Much like how Renekton and Nasus gain basic attack range after casting theirs.

I like this idea. His kit definitely lacks the UMPH and I miss the impact of his old Q. I think it could work well.

I really like the ult Idea, as it stand now the ult regardless of strength is super super unsatisfying.

being completely honest here, in the 8-10 games I've faced aatrox so far (2 or so being in urf) not once have I felt... intimidated by him. he just does so little and the little he does is so easy to dodge ya feel? not once, playing any character, have I felt "fuck! aatrox is here. I'm about to get my ass beat!" at all.

Why not keep the ascended theme and make him gain bonus hp and/or an AOE DOT around him?

But if you just give him new DMG/cc without taking away something else, he will be op. Maybe you have to change CD then or something else.

He is now a difficult champion to play, I have seen good aatrox's completely stomp games, and I have seen bad ones do nothing. He is now a skill oriented champ, no changes are needed past the hotfixes he got.
