So let me get this strait...drain tanks are toxic, so they gutted Aatrox and make him into some...very strange champion IMO....now he can heal a little more and it Riots own words, to make him more of a drain tank.
Haha. What a fucking joke. The amount of shit that keeps rolling downhill from their asinine decision to completely delete a champion out of the game just keeps coming.
Ðroxx2 votesits not Aatrox thats for sure.. they are just gutting what made him fun for me.. feel kinda ripped off since I bought a skin for the champ and all.
The Ecdysiast1 votesI too am a fan of pretending old Aatrox was any better, despite ending up a complete mess every single time he got any kind of change.

he wasnt even a mess tbh you want a mess of a champ new akali says hi

Except for the fact that he was. Extremely low play rate for years because he wasn't even viable in the jungle despite being an AA-based champ, and wasn't a direct counter to anyone at top.
Then only sees play when he's insanely overpowered because they removed his W cost and released Conqueror.
Yeah, that's a mess right there.

First of all, the mess was slowly getting better as they reduced his passive revive time, and then allowed his dive to be unstoppable on the way down. All they had to was keep his poke magic damage, reduce his healing a tad, increase his toughness, and make his ult a team fight area buff.
They easily could have worked with the old kit. Don't buy their drivel that it was unworkable. It wasnt. They lie to us because in the end, they look down on the players, which is a direct result of a toxic corporate culture started by Marc Merrill whos ego is so big he can't even see the ends of it so he probably doesn't even know he has one.
Kazekiba1 votes"Aatrox dpesnt sell; what if we made him a modernized riven? WOW WHY AATROX STRONK"
He could've gotten some changes to E and been fine as he was. But no. Someone had to fuck everything up.
Luckily MOST VGUs have been super well done lately. Just because two were horrendous failures that make LeBlanc blush. If only they didn't make a VO just as bad as the kit, and new art/animations they could revert the update... Im sorry.

Yeah that voice kinda sucks. A russian accent with slight reverb over it. He needs the deep, guttural demonic reverb.
Galaxyburstz1 votesThey keep adding damage to the top lane roster rather than survivability and sustain, makes me Q _ Q
Iota Theta1 votesAt this point, it probably has to do with the nature of the drain tank. Both Swain and Aatrox were reworked, both had nigh undodgeable draintanking unless you were out of range, Aatrox with autos, Swain with..just standing there. Now, both have to work harder to heal as well, but they’re rewarded better when they can pull it off.
