How to fix Aatrox

New Devourer didn't help him at all. There are tons of champions that are a lot stronger than him with it (hello Kayle , Shyvana ,XinZhao and MasterYi ).

  1. Give him flat health costs on his abilities that scale either with his lvl or the ability lvl. Being punished for building tanky is ridiculous, with 3100 HP Aatrox loses 310 HP with a single Q. With a single combo Q / W / E you lose a bit more than 15% of your current health. THIS IS STUPID. Also, get rid of the bonus AD ratio on the health cost of Blood Price.

For example : his Q cost 20/40/60/80/100 health, his E cost 10/20/30/40/50 health and so on.

In order to fuel his passive, his Q / W and E has now a multiplier. For example, his Q cost him 100 health but he stores 300 health in his passive.

  1. Make his Q more reliable. Either you give him the Sion Q treatment (reduced CD when interrupted) or now his Q will always knock up briefly (think Quinn Vault ability for the duration) and the ennemies caught in the epicenter will be knock up for 1 second.

  2. Buff his base health. Yes, I know, he has a passive item 3026 but seriously, at lvl 1 with classic 21/9 masteries and AD runes, Aatrox has 592 base HP. Renekton has low base HP, but he has his ultimate at least ! And when you come back to life, you have such terrible attack speed that you deal terrible damages. So buff his base HP so that he has roughly the same amount as Renekton.

Aatroxx shouldn't be helped by devourer buffs. I thought he was a top laner first?

aatrox would be completely overpowered with health costs like that

He uses his Q to engage as he pleases, something a lot of characters don't have the privilage of doing

imagine an Aatrox who can just spam everything while healing to full because of his W, it'd be just wrong

sated devourer is supposed to increase his tankiness because it will make his blood price activate in two hits instead of one and he can use item 3074 to increase that healing even more while having 3 tank items in reserve

he also is one of the few champs with a natural revive and he has an attack speed steroid (though void with revive)

he's not an easy champ though
