Aatrox Rework

Brutalitops01··1 votes·544 views

With the Evelynn rework having gone live, the champion update that took her spot on the update schedule is Aatrox. Honestly, I feel like this was a last resort for him, remembering back to when Riot was talking about doing the Diver update instead of Tanks. They mentioned that a mini update of that scale should have been enough to fix his issues. They shipped what I'd imagine to be the mini update that they were working on for him, and that seems to have flopped as well. Which leaves them with their last resort: a full-scale VGU. Honestly, I have no idea what Riot is planning for the Darkin Blade, or what direction they want to take him. I would like to see him keep the general theme of being a sustain-based diving fighter, but I can imagine how that would be just way too broken if it's allowed to exist with any kind of strength. I look forward to seeing what Riot does with him, and I'm gonna ask you guys to comment some things that you would like to see with his rework. I honestly have no idea.

my main used to be aatrox but i started disliking him after i stopped playing for a while and when i returned he could be hit during his Q but then in my opinion with the last "rework" they royally screwed up everything and basically made aatrox a lap dog that needed support until he could finally jump in the teamfights near late to late-mid game.... so i hope they honestly will do it right this time and either make him feel like he used to or just convert him back completely

They're completely overhauling him. He'll be riot's biggest rework yet, and essentially a completely new champion.

this champ along with Kayn are going to forever be dumpster tier and completely useless. Just accept it. lol

Kayn isn't dumpster tier, hes just a lot higher of a skillcap than many people make him out to be. Aatrox suffers from the issue of non-defined role, whereas Kayn has the issue of players making bad decisions. Kayn is probably one of the most balanced champions Riot has ever released.
