Aatrox Finally Feels Balanced!

MrEnds·May 6, 2019·19 votes·7,642 views

Thank you so much Riot, Aatrox finally feels balanced and i feel like you guys did a great job with the 9.9 rework to him he feels great to play and doesn't feel unhealthy for the community! I really appreciate how much effort you guys have put into fixing him and I am truly grateful for this. I've never seen you work on a champion this much since Ryze or Azir, so once again thank you so much and great job balance team, I know you guys get a lot of hate but I am starting to see that you guys are starting to do a really good job!

well in my opinion he's very balanced because he has one of the easiest kits to counter build, that being the enemy laner rushing thornmail first item so aatrox cant deal damage or sustain

He needs to lose the amp on healing during R and he'll be balanced.

From allies, it is fine for himself. But having a Raka healing you between 500-900 ...oof.

Cool? I played with a Raka as Aatrox and witnessed it myself, it is pretty stupid.

New Aatrox Soraka botlane!

And if Yuumi stays untargetable during Aatrox’s revive, she’ll be a good ~~item~~ Support for him too

No, you get bullied out of lane and need the LVLs as Aatrox.

i would agree, if I've ever had a Soraka heal me or ult me while my ult was active (it hasnt happened to me yet) but ya it seems reasonable to remove the vamp from ally inflicted healing

It makes it so he can scale and team fight better as a juggernaut.

Z3SleeperMay 6, 20191 votes

It needs to stay consistent throughout the game is what needs to happen. Having it scale is actually ridiculous.

It feels pretty bad early cuz you don't have damage or Death's Dance yet or maxed E.

It feels overwhelmingly powerful late game cuz you have damage and Death's Dance + 70% increased healing instead of 40% AND maxed E.

It's enough to where a non-sweetspot Q3 heals for half his life bar. It's pretty ridiculous.

i usually rush DD first item and use conqueror check my match history it works really well, also you can just shut him down early game by having the enemy laner rush a thornmail

bro all you gotta do is rush a thornmail for top against him in lane then he loses his heal which is detrimental to his kit and also he does no damage to tanky enemies, for mid lane he doesnt do that much burst damage anymore so he shouldnt be a problem but if he is then just rush a morellonomicon for the grevious wounds

Misses 1st, q, misses 2nd q, misses everything else but the third q and an auto attack, and still out-trades MOST, again, MOST top laners, not all, but most.

Yeaaaaah that's my idea of balance though. Missing 90% of your kit, landing 1 thing, and a "unmissable" auto attack, and still winning most trades.

Definitely my idea of balance. It's almost like hes the new Zed. Who fucking needs to land your Q's when you got dat right click button boi.

Secretly a PhosMay 7, 20191 votes

Zed actually has to land q unless he's fed, and he isn't getting fed without landing Q's unless someone is inting.
