Quick thoughts on aatrox tweaks

Champions - Aatrox - ProBuilds.net

After sitting here for about 30 minutes crafting an awesome post i accidentally hit F12 and F11 instead of backspace in chrome which made my page go white... so here's the lazy version.

Check out aatrox's lack-luster performance at probuilds.net. Anyone who plays him typically agrees that he's very situational and not in a good place right now due to there being too many ways to outplay or counter him (e.g. build morello or executioner's calling). There was even a Q&A 5 months ago about an aatrox rework. Here are my ideas for quick updates for aatrox in the mean time, before any major updates to his kit.

Q: Increase knock up aoe to be between its current size and the damage only aoe size and get rid of the damage only area. Make his Q unstoppable or make him untargetable during the Q.

W: unchanged

E: Increase slow strength, make it decay to zero over the duration. This would make it easier to land Q after landing E.

R: Add AD scaling to it, reduce AP scaling.

Passive: Reduce bloodwell base size, add HP scaling. For 5 seconds after passive is used, blood stored in bloodwell is doubled.

I really just want to poke at the issue and see if we can get anything done to help aatrox's viability.

Thanks for reading!

The problem with Aatrox is that he's basically a ball of stats. He wins lane if he has more stats than his opponent and loses lane if he doesn't. That's his issue as a champion.
