We all know Aatrox is struggling in League of Legends right now. I loved to play him and still got to 5 masteries with him. However it is very difficult to really stand out with him unless you get really fed. HOWEVER. Lately I've been trying him as a tank support and I am getting nothing but victories with S grade. Max E and then max Q. Get 40%cdr as fast as you can with Face of The Mountain, Frozen Heart and Spirit Visage. Start spamming knockups and slows all over the enemy team every 3-4 seconds. You die? No problem, you are the support after all and you are spendable to save the adc... But wait! Your passive brings you back and no one actually died. Double kill gg.

Give it a try guys. It really works very well and I am surprised how it is not a thing. Until his rework I'm finding this build the most useful Aatrox you can play right now in the game.

this is so dumb I have to call you an idiot, but I feel like I may go to sleep questioning myself over whether I was right, or perhaps this is just as "dumb" as support tryndamere.

i may have to try this LOL

I feel like it would be bad because you wouldn't be able to auto minions often to regain health you lost from using abilities.

What does it offer that I couldn't do better by picking something like Braum though or even Poppy who would function similarly? His only hard CC requires danger and he isn't naturally tanky at all. His slow is alright I suppose, but it's pretty easy to dodge.

Buildwise why not Randuins over Frozen Heart? Nice chunk of health, crit reduction, still an attack speed slow, and the active would get him an easy chain of slows.
