Aatox QoL that will help him

Some things that will help Aatrox

  1. E should be able to be rapid fired with both stacks, or swapped to only having 1 more meaningful impact
  2. E should also be an AA reset cuz it feels really bad to dash in and then have to wait 2 seconds to actually AA
  3. Q should have a faster cast speed, it is way to hard to land for how small the sweetspots are
  4. E-Q needs some adjustment to be more respondsive, the E feels like it waits for a specific part of the Q animation in order to go off, making it feel like there is a sortof "lockout" making the combo feel clunkier
  5. Higher base stats, #hashinshin, no but for real man is WAY to squishy
  6. Passive should have its CD (or partial CD) refunded for using it to last hit minions properly, so that it is up for a trade, its not like Poppy where you can use it from a safe range, Aatrox has to walk up to you and pull minion aggro to use this, yet it does less damage than Garen Q.

I have only messed around in practice tool so far, but I feel you on number 4 big time. Feels super clunky. It might get better as I play him more, but I don't like it atm.

I like this! One because you didn’t rant about the new Aatrox sucking. Two because those are legit good adjustments I think. It’ll flow smoother so he won’t be so clunky with his mechanics and he’ll still keep the persona riot wants for him to be a smashing scary blade wielding Darkin.

These aren't QoL just saying. They are straight buffs, flat out buffs. They improve the quality of playing him by flat out making him better. Some are QoL, but most are not. Specifically, 3, 5, and 6 are straight buffs. 1 is also pretty much a straight buff.

i like the active portion of his e being more useful, every time skill comes up but i dont have q or w it feels like a non skill like vayne w or varus w before the gave it an active.

I like that someone if offering quality suggestions instead of just complaining

Riot needs solutions not just reaffirmations of issues

good job sir/ma'am, carry on being awesome and have a nice day

I agree with everything and would like to add a buff to W as well like a stronger slow or a faster activation.

While I still think hotfixes and the like are -far- too early (and that Aatrox isn't as bad as people make him out to be), these are all decent suggestions for future patches.

I'd also like to recommend taking some damage away from the edge and moving it to the normal cast. That way the edge is still your best case but you're also not losing too much DPS. (Plus it means the second cast, which is probably the hardest to effectively use, isn't as punishing.)

The AA reset on his E is likely getting implemented in a hotfix. Meddler mentioned it on Twitter

Honestly, because he can't use his Q to farm effectively since it does reduced damaged to minions, his passive should instead simply cause ALL of his autos to do either boosted damage to minions or execute them at low health, and have his big hit ONLY proc on champions and jungle monsters.

I mean I think they should increase the range on Aatrox's passive for its bonus range. If you have to stay a distance to use your Q1 and Q2, your enhanced attack should be that range as well. Third Q is melee range so you no longer need the bonus range.
