Thematic aatrox UPDATE ( hue) FUN STUFF lol

For this update i post Aspects of aatrox lore to use it improve his KIT hopefully riot notices me senpai for he is my favorite champ to look at but boring champ gameplay wise. first i will post some problems with aatrox in general. only gap closer ** cool down of 12 seconds with NO automatic resets on kill assist or even after his passive__ Has to BUILD damage to DO damage unlike some assasins and some bruisers and some tanks

2. no out play potential and switching on w is not an outplay neither is knocking up on low health to flash towards in bush for a suprise kill i'm talking about TRUE KIT diversity his kit is GENERIC everything he does another champ can do better

3. His kit doesn't really match his lore i hate to say it but it's kind of like riot rushed him or didn't actually sit through and think about this champ and his lore

so now that is out of the way lets get to using his lore for a possible Rework / kit update

"slicing through legions in a style that is hypnotic to behold. With each foe felled, Aatrox's seemingly living blade drinks in their blood, empowering him and fueling his brutal, elegant campaign of slaughter."

This quote inspired that a few things 1. he is supposed to have some type of infinite scaling ( thresh nasus veigar thresh sion) but unlike them aatrox would Need something unique maybe something similar to rework. in all honesty his lore says nothing about reviving from the dead to fight more. But possible reach a new thresh hold of power per amount of stacks he gets and make that full his bloodwell and when it is full he gets a massive buff to himself ofcourse. COULD BE HIS BLOOD PRICE/BLOOD THIRST PASSIVE

" On the day of their final confrontation, the Protectorate army found themselves outnumbered, exhausted, and poorly equipped. They braced for inevitable defeat.

Just when all hope seemed lost, Aatrox appeared among the ranks of the Protectorate. With but a few words, he urged the soldiers to fight to the last before throwing himself into battle. His presence inspired the desperate warriors. "

This quote inspires possibly A NEW and more Rewarding ultimate or possibly another passive for his kit or his base passive that he gets ??? based on how low and weak his team mates are and gives them his allies ( Soon, the warriors found themselves imbued with a potent thirst for battle. They followed Aatrox into the fray, each fighting with the furious strength of ten until they had won a most unlikely victory.) A BUFF yayyyy aatrox is useful.

now to move to his actual skillset his w is being the only thing that truly relates to lore At first, they could only watch in awe as this unknown hero cleaved through their enemies, his body and blade moving in unison as if one being.

change his q to a low cool down( if it hits ) gap closer that isn't a knock up nor a point and click ability make it a skillshot where has aatrox will fly towards that location and cleave the first enemy hit possibly applying on hit effects and or (STEALING MR / ARMOR ) probably 4 seconds at max rank if it hits 8 if it doesn't

his w is ok and it leaves him with some identity possibly for a new passive each enemy/minion slane with bloodprice fills aatrox bloodwell

his e change comes from his quote "Cut the courage from them." and is a move that is used to thematically decrease enemy moral but what possible move could be used to decrease enemy moral?! ( as well all know aatrox wings was based on a frill necked lizard can we use this in some way ) Possible aatrox can activate it and his wings FLARE up absorbing the power aatrox has stored and using it to give him a temporary buff ( decrease damage or % damage on hit or enemies are reflected a % of damage they done to aatrox during this time) whatever works but the point of this ability is to try to intimidate the enemy and make them feel DEFEATED.

aatrox ult change now this one is where the fun starts and is aatrox primary engage tool ok i like the increase range but the attack speed on top of attack speed feels really meh . the motivation for this move is his current passive and his 3 quotes Now we turn the tide!" "Sow the seeds of strife." "Rage against the dying of the light." but is risky at the same time with HIGH reward aatrox dives into targeted location and channels for 3 seconds dark energy around him ( hecarim R distance) or maybe even further ( dark energy ball) in which aatrox takes reduced damage for a period of time but if aatrox is brought down to half his current health during cast the channel is canceled. this is where aatrox rages against the dying of the light where he REFUSES to die and Turns the tide of battle and is sowing his own seed to unleash destruction.if aatrox is allowed to channel for the full duration he unleashes his true power ( increase in size health and range) deals massive damage to all nearby units possibly his old % damage and does the opposite of jannas ultimate pulls enemies closer and taking reduced damage from all units pulled in and makrs them with seeds of strife which allows each basic attack towards that enemy champion hit amplified damage

this kit change allows him to do a few things which he cannot do as he is . 1.scale well into late game 2.outplay potential 3.give some sort of gap closer that isnt on a long cool down 4 is actually fun and non generic
