Aatrox Buffs (HOPING TO GET RIOT ATTENTION)

Masked Pariah··5 votes·1,127 views

I can say Aatrox is a champion that I love! His kit, his lore, and play style but I feel that he needs maybe a bit more. I am hoping Riot will see this and maybe give something to this guy. I mean his lore is him turing the tide of a war! I'd love to see that being more possible in LOL.

Note:These are ideas and I dont expect all of them to be added but maybe one of them. If you can maybe comment on why Riot cant make these changes or if your Riot comment on what your opinion is on the current Aatrox. None of the ideas should be mixed together though.

IDEA 1:His Q could knock up even in the outer circle but for a shorter duration (or a stun in the outer circle so tenacity can work) Have it stun or knock up for .75 sec and maybe his inner circle knocks up for 1.25 sec.

REASONING: I feel that he has really unreliable cc and for the low range,high health cost, and low damage should allow him to have a bit more cc.

IDEA 2: His W (Blood Price) or his Q can do either do max %hp, missing %hp, or current % HP. Either one will work. If its the Q then it should be a bit high on % like maybe 10%HP on max lvl, or if its on his W make it low percentage due to it can be used more (like 4% or 6%). Also if this change was on his W give it more cost on blood price.

REASONING: This will make his Q have more dmg and maybe it could apply if they are knocked up and not applied if they are not. On his W this will promote using blood price because you will mostly see players only stay in Blood Thirst and never use his W. Making the cost higher will also make it not worth it to use when ur below the 30% hp and rewarding players who use his W properly. Also he is not the best when it comes to dueling (Fiora Jax Irelia Rengar Tryndamere Trundle are a bit better when it comes to that).

IDEA 3: AOE fear on his ult. maybe have Aatrox fear for about .5 or .75 secs just to interrupt the front or back lines where ever his Dark Flight takes him.

REASONING: His ult feels "stale" and it would actually "change the tide of war" like his lore says. This buff might not do as much in a 1v1 but in a teamfight 5v5 it will be a nice interrupter and might just be enough to be a good team fighter!

IDEA 4: The final idea! A buff to his ult! Not just any buff though. I was thinking if his ult could boost the attack speed, ad, ap, or something to give to his teammates. WHILE he is alive in his ult form.

REASONING: His ult feels "stale" (again) and it would be nice to where his ult can really help his teammates out. It also just has a feeling that just belong to Aatrox more than my other ideas. This makes him "change the tide of war" like his lore even says! Also it will boast his teammates with blood lust like he did with the soldiers in his lore!

Any ideas you like? Or do you have a better idea? Comment below.

I played about 50 games in a row of Aatrox at the beginning of this season across a couple accounts and I agree he's really fun to play, and while he's definitely underpowered as hell... he should never get any buffs, ever. A rework? Sure. But never buffs.

It's too hard to get ahead as Aatrox right now. It's too hard to stay ahead. He simply has the odds stacked against him and that's why I say he's underpowered.

The problem is, with his kit, when he does manage to get ahead, he is one of the most bullshit, uncounterable champions in the game. I'm not sure what the hell Riot was smoking when they created him... probably the same shit CertainlyT used to come up with Kalista. I cannot support any buffs for him until he gets completely reworked.

how so on the rework? I really think his kit is fine but just numbers could change or new stuff added.

I don't know, probably should just be made into a new champion. As I said, I find him fun to play even when I feed my ass off on him, but when he gets any sort of an advantage over his opponent he's incredibly oppressive and pretty much impossible to play against. He's the sort of champion that if he was properly balanced he would ruin so many games...

I feel that a buff would be nice due to his weakness out scale his strengths. With the weak base stats I think he should be a lot better late game. The fact that he is a early game champ that falls off unless snowballed is fine but it is not smart if they make it SUPER HARD to get that snowball effect and hard to maintain the lead. I will agree that if he manages to hold that advantage he is amazing but isnt 80% of the champions also amazing if they hold their advantage.

Anyway out of the 4 ideas which one do you like the most? Just curious.

When he goes 3 seconds without autoattacking, his W should refresh to the third hit. More initial burst/sustain

seems fair but I can see it being maybe 8 seconds. So it resets when he is out of combat. 3 seconds of out of combat will mean he will have it up if he were to run from someone.
