I'm not sure 'alternative' builds count for Aatrox as he was just all around crap.

It should be the priority to support the main build over the off-build, just saying. Since Guinsoo's Rageblade is an item for Aatrox, they had to drop power somewhere for more base damage.

I can understand the fact of nerfing something to buff his main design, but taking away 60% scaling isn't going to do much with a rageblade being the only item he buys granting 74 ap (at max stacks) of which gives him 44.4 bonus damage on his E.

But, to an ap build, 60% scaling is quite a lot.

item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 item 3165 item 3115 item 3020

Take this build for instance. His ultimate has 100% scaling. This build gives you 594 AP.

Massacre: 400 base damage + 594 AP = 994.

Blades of torment: 215 base damage + 356 AP = 571.

So all together his burst combo would be Q>E>R

With that said, that's a total of** 1815 **damage, and this is without his AD scalings from his abilites.

If he doesnt have the 60% scaling on his E, then he loses out on 356 damage.

Hes been below a .5% pick rate for a while now whether main build or alternative build meaning he needs serious work to be viable.
