Only if you enjoy pain and suffering, at your own expense, not the pain and suffering of others.

No. I wanted to love him. He is a strong little caterpillar.

I unexpectedly laughed today thanks to that.

Have an upvote and my condolences.

No. Don't get me wrong, he's fun and not that bad, but you might as well buy all the 4800 and cheaper champs first. Still probably better than buying Azir or Kalista.

Don't. Never. His playstyle also has a very negative influence on how you will play if you do it too.

Consider it an investment for when RIot finally fixes him and makes him playable for people who don't have 500 games on him already.

he is REALLY strong when he is ahead(like fed ahead) almost 1v5 unkillable strong ... but many champions are

however he is pretty weak overall their really isnt an aspect he excels in currently(so getting ahead is hard)....BUT if youre low elo he can actually be pretty dang strong he can punish poor mechanics pretty well and has a revive and strong escape to save yourself if your mechanics fail

so if you're low elo/ like playing him buy him... but from a meta/relative power stand point there are better fighters

so all in all... no stand out strengths like other fighters have such as, Fioras dueling/lategame, rumbles mid game and constant power from his ult , or just everything about Poppy and Trundle

but revives( to add extra damage in fights and save you from ganks)... aoe knockup with an even larger aoe slow (that is also a good escape) and a good safe harass ability/cs'ing ability makes him solid in lower elo

He's not even strong when ahead, still shitty base stats.

Aatrox is pretty bad only because of his number. His kit is a godmode, but they will never allow him to dominate the rift. His DPS is insane with his 2 AS steroid and the W pseudo crit. Also his Q is retarded (similar to Tristana's jump). It's ridiculous ...

I mean, there are probably better options out there at the moment, but you can make Aatrox work in lower elo. He is similar to Xin Zhao. He plitpushes like a beast, has so much duelling power with a lot of sustain and damage, can initiate a fight in some way, but he is best used to splitpush.

Aatrox is the duelist that can't even duel other duelists when ahead

Are you boosted or trolling? Aatrox is OP? what the actual fuck?

DarkRitual1 votes

He's definately OP... ... in the lore.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

So was jax, but he got nerfed : ^)

Shadòw1 votes

he is the most OP champion dude.

he is so OP that he even is banned in LCS... or have you ever seen him there?

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Okay troll confirmed

show me one LCS game where he was picked.

He was banned by faker in soloq

angery pout1 votes

Faker has never cared about bans in soloq. Back when one person was responsible for team bans he'd type in a character and ban in the first three champions that showed up. When he was in NA he just banned Aatrox because he was at the top of the list. Pretty funny.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

sarcasmo?

angery pout1 votes

I wish https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/541hie/why_does_faker_always_ban_garen/

When he was doing soloq NA he switched to Aatrox because that's top of the client for us.

He's been a dumpster since his release. Happy to help

He was absolutely busted in his release during s3 and a permaban - demanded some nerf hammer which haven't been lifted since then.

Odd Gnome1 votes

He's not awful but his kit is kind of just bad. Unless you really really know what you're doing with him you'll fail.

IRyzeForNidalee1 votes

He's pure cheese. You can make him work but you have to abuse his cheese and snowball. Still underpowered though. If you're just looking for a champion to carry you to a higher elo, Aatrox isn't it.

Aatrox is good, people are trash.

I feel as though Aatrox can punish us lower elo people hard, but will not work as well higher elo. I want to play a champion whose kit I like, but isn't overpowered. (I got jinx in a champion shard like two weeks before she got nerfed, also I have been maining Jayce and he might get nerfed, so i don't want to play someone who will get nerfed, and Aatrox is a bit underpowered, but viable if you are good.)

Sevixys1 votes

His kit is completely reliant on landing aa's (akin Trynda&co, hey CC). Also, when strong, he is completely unkillable! That's why he is left in balance limbo. He is fun to play and can be effective but - when behind - he doesn't rly offer much for the team. I climbed from s5 to g3 with aatrox and continue to love his design but I have come to admit that there are better options. He is gonna get a rework next year.

He is still cool tho!

He was worth 6300 during the time when he came out, but in today's current meta he's only worth 3150 (probably even less like 1350). He's still good just not as great as he once was because of his kit being made during a time where sustain was everything for a top laner.
