Lets Talk About Aatrox.
So i want to bring Aatrox back into the light for a small yet i think great change.
I feel as tho his E ability is definitely a needed aspect of his kit and he needs this to be mobile in fights, laning , land Q's ect. But since the nerf (when he had 2 charges and he has only 1 now) i feel as though the ability is so relied upon that it is so easy to counter Aatrox in lane and you can just play around it's cooldown to often. I have seen this many times and i do it, i mean it makes him go from the insanely good early game champ too a clunky one. for example: he just used his e to land his first Q on me let say he hits it, he now has to wait for the cooldown to land his next or Pop his ult for the MS or Flash , or land his W which by the way you can stand behind minions or side step quite easily IMO. i think that a change to the E ability will ensure that he will be okay to play in lane and play against . his E ability should have a longer cooldown by 2 seconds or more this is your choice to decide, however there should be a cooldown reduction for his E by 1.5/3/4 ect everytime that he levels his E this will make players level the E more rather than the W, and this should scale with his level( how much cdr this reduces off of his E) . this is just my opinion though i dont think that this change is mandatory but i think something like this is needed for the champion as he is in a sticky spot right now, i understand that if we buff him directly this will ruin him for players in Low ELO who suffer against champs that they can't play against and that he may also break the Pro Level. I would really love to see if anyone has any ideas that they could funnel into this discussion since he is my favourite champion and i would like his Double E charge back (if possible, ik this won't happen) but something that could change the way his E works rather than it just being a flat cooldown that scales throughout the game as he levels his ability. His W also feels really weak, ik this may seem odd but this champion is meant to be a really good teamfighter and i feel that his single target W doesnt offer much to the fight, yes you could say that he could W the ADc but why would the ADC ever be in the range for his W, lets be real they are at the back and protected by the support all the time and if you attempt to go in you will just be CC locked and then shredded by everyone. thanks for reading this, i am open up for new ideas and criticism as ik some of my points may be invalid or break the champion, thanks - Taylor
