For whenever they rework Aatrox Riot should remember these facts @rickles

He is the only champion in the game that has none of any of these built into his kit:

1)any form of built in armor pen 2)anything to to with increasing crits 3)a way to boost his movement speed 4)any built in resistances 5)any built in shields blocks or parries 6)vanishing or becoming untargetable (yi ,fizz etc) 7)any meaningful magic damage 8)any percent of health damage, burn damage, or true damage 9)spammable abilities that make spell blade valuable

Other champions have everything he has

1)A dive 2)A knock up or stun 3)A poke 4)A way to heal 5)AOE damage 6)a way to avoid death (tyrnd, voli, zac, anivia, ekko)

Not only does Attrox lack of the things mentioned, he is also easy to shut down with CC. He basically only wins when he gets ahead early.

Hes also buggy as fuck, with ults not going off even though R is pressed, or blood thirst not switched to blood price even though W is pressed, and he is not under any CC.

Aatrox is the most bare bones champion in the game. He heals has better built in heals than most champions, but because of how he is, he doesnt build full AD lifesteal and can be out life stealed by a Yi or and ADC.

Remember, you get your lifesteal every third attack, so in order to steal more faster you need attack speed. However, it scales off of missing health, which means you need to build more health to get bigger heals. BUT you also need AD because his damages scale off of AD.

Aatrox: bare bones kit, easy to shut down, pulled in too many build directions.

Riot is okay with full build trynd and yi lifesteal like crazy with a couple of lifesteal items, but if Aatrox does it, he just dies due to lack of any real defenses in his kit, and if he goes bruiser or off tank, he definitely doesn't heal as well as other champions do with the right items.

Why the hell do I even have to explain it. Fucking 3 seconds of analyzing Aatrox shoul dhave let Riot in a good direction with his recent changes. Instead hes harder to play, more vulnerable and his win rate isnte even higher than it was before.

I don't care if they plan on reworking him later. I have no confidence in Riot when it comes to creativity and problem solving skills.

Ya hear me Rickles? You phoned this one in, you have no experience trying to climb with Aatrox in ranked...wtf did you think you know about the champion? You just threw these changes together under your stupid "window of power" concept, and come hell or high water, no matter how awful they changes were, instead of fixing the real issue you double downed on your changes and just kept buffing his stats until he didn't lose as much. That is sloppy, lazy, and uninspired and you should be kissing the god damn ground every day thanking God that you even have the job you have, because you sure as fuck don't deserve it.
