AATROX UPDATE IS A NERF ON PBE

Alladersole··12 votes·2,055 views

So I have been testing the new Aatrox on pbe at first it was okay in the top lane,but The more I played the more that the lack of constant A.S from his passive started to really leave a bad tast in my mouth he feels really sluggish and slow now witch is never what he was about. When it comes to jungle I seem to sustain just fine with the new passive and new W however my clear is slower and the bumpy ride of my passing procing and dieing off makes me sad. Now when it comes to a gank I will almost never have my passive up at all because I'm waiting in bushes or the shadows for longer then 4 seconds to get the right engage welp guess what there goes my CHANCE notice how i said chance at getting about 12% of my damage roughly 15% of my A.S oh and my revive witch within 3 game as jungle had it pop 3 times not three times that I needed it to just popped three times over 3ames I'm great full Aatrox is getting looked st just now in this way please revert changes to passive damage on q and e are great still the cool down as any Aatrox main will tell you if you are listening anymore are entirely to long. His w with the percent missing health is making it so we have to build health items to get more healing and yet it's about 45 to 60 less health returned then the last passive on it. I mean you would be better off just deleteing this champ then making some of these changes that are going to put him in even more of a box then he already was. No player wants that. Why do you think yasuo is amazing he has a tone of builds. Just give us the Attake speed back all the time and when we get blood rush then give us the extra damage from the passive that really all you have to do just give us the consistent attake speed back at the very least we have been waiting so long please please please dont disappoint us with this. Don't release it please! Keep thinking. This is to little for to long the darkin have waited for help them rise again with glory.

Dear Fuffychan,

Perhaps the person that wrote this message has issues writing. Maybe just maybe try not to be a two year old when you see something that is badly written. instead read what has been written and know that person was trying to get information out that he or she feels the need to be heard. The person seems frustrated about something he or she cares about.

Aatrox is in better shape on live than he is currently on PBE. His passive is rendered almost completely useless and needs to be addressed ASAP.

Alternatively, the person could be an adult and consider improving their writing abilities after they were criticized when he tried to convey his thoughts through writing. Then embarrassing white knights won't come into the thread and try to coddle him and pretend that he shouldn't improve his issues with writing, and that it isn't a problem he should work at/

Again I'm sorry for being a bad writer... Now what are your thoughts on Aatrox? If you have none or don't care about the champ then don't commit your not helping the issue.

Frankly I don't really know. I haven't played the new changes and am hardly an Aatrox main. To be blunt I am very sceptical of believing a main's opinion on a rework to their champion. I remember when Mordekaiser players thought Morde would end up being dog shit when his rework hit and boy oh boy, that wasn't the case at all. Same with Skarner, or pretty much any of the big four assassin updates.

Well I played him a lot when he first came out. He was my first real main. I have kept him on the back burner now for a long time playing him in sperts. I know personally I don't have issues with many aatroxes and know once he falls behind he's really rough to come back. I just want this champ to have his place. I don't believe this rework is a better one then the one he is in now.

I'm sorry I know my punctuation is at best is constiered bad.

Holy hell-fire, block text. I get what your saying, and what I'd like to see, personally, is the removal of the AS steroid from his passive. You can't have a revive, bonus AD, and bonus AS, on a single passive, and expect that to work out. It'd be nice if the AS steroid was kept as a passive, but maybe on his W, or a passive on his ult, similar to Rek'sai's.

Honestly never a fan of his revive anyway scrap it if you want and buff the A.S and damage. I'm sure lots of people like that aspect though it's just my opinion.

TheHappyReaperz1 votes

His revive is the best revive in the game, as it is the only passive revive that unstoppable. That said, it really just holds him back. I wouldn't say its a very important aspect of his kit, since it just feels like a do-over button when useful, and a worse Zhonya's when it isn't.

Maybe if the passive only took thee stacks to be full. So if you lined up w proc with Q and E you could be battle ready a lot faster/often. Got one shot by zed in the jungle yesterday multiple time before I could get my passive full made me sad.

Honestly its one of the worst revives in the game. Every other revive allows you to go straight back into combat if it does go off, aatroxs' is the opposite, you revive for free but have no combat capabilities and just die again.

Yep, They need his passive to take a lot longer to fall off.

They need to either keep him as is or give him an actual fucking rework... they took away the only niche he had and now he is just pure garbage. I've played Aatrox since he came out and i think i'm going to quit the game now. His Q and E still are very slow and his only useful ability is just bad now.. his ult is STILL really boring

Rito isn't listening anymore makes me sad. This will most likely go live next week and Aatrox will be played even less because of it.

Riot said multiple times that this changes will hit live BUT he will still get a full rework. They know he needs it. These are not permanent changes that Riot hope will fix Aatrox problems

SC WorldEnder1 votes

At the same time these changes are suppose to place him in a better position, but they don't. What he stating is that this Aatrox change that Riot has atm is weaker overall compared to live server. I, as a Aatrox main, don't want his passive to become this weakened version of a Darius passive that i'll honestly never get because everyone gonna focus the Aatrox while he still can't revive. Honestly, if Riot really wanted to place Aatrox in a better place, all they need to do is give his passive a knock back when he revives so he just doesn't get destroyed by people hovering over him.

This right now is just the temporarily "solution". They'll have to fix it again, yes, but it is most likely not the final change for this year.

If Aatrox recieves his full kit rework, he will most likely become a champion with focus on comebacks in teamfights, because they want to make his abilities more representative of his lore.

I doubt there will be much left of his current kit.

The new Aatrox feel so wonky that i dont even know what riot was doing and if im not mistaken they after they changed his numbers once they never touched it again. Gess Rito is sick of Aatrox now and just desided to kill him off.
