Aatrox Buff Ideas

Le Renard Blanc·7/9/2015, 4:31:53 PM·5 votes·911 views

Since it's pretty much agreeable that Aatrox is not in a good spot in terms of balance I'm going to write down some changes to him that I think would bring him into a better spot than he is now.

Blood Well:

When Aatrox resurrects he knocks back all nearby enemies. This gives Aatrox time to escape or get into a better position and denies the other team's ability to instantly kill Aatrox when he revives which is a big problem he has.

Dark Flight:

-CD Reduced to 14 / 12.5/ 11 / 10.5 / 9 seconds from 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 -Damage changed to 70 / 110 / 160 / 200 / 240 (80% Bonus AD) from 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 60% bonus AD) -Range increased to 700

These buffs make his Q much more accessible and slightly more reliable late game and the buffed AD ratio helps more than what it looks, especially since you can't build much ad and need to make do with what you have.

Blades Of Torment:

Damage changed to 75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 (75% Bonus AD and 75% AP) from 75 / 110 / 145 / 180 / 215 (+ 60% AP) (+ 60% bonus AD) Just touching up on his ratio's so he isn't as needy on AD as the game goes on.

Massacre: Aatrox also fears enemy champions for 0.5 / 1 / 1.5 seconds. Aatrox removes all CC effects from himself.

Both of these allow him to continue to life steal without interuption for a short time which I feel is another big problem he has.

Remember that these are just ideas on what I think he should have.

I think is Q really needs buffs. It is stoppable has a long cd and takes 10% of your current life. And its Aatroxs only engage tool. The E is also not in a good spot. The slow isnt very strong and the damage isnt good after laning phase is over. Its also very hard to hit.

Have you tried him with the new Stated Devourer? I would think the combination of his W and BotRK happening more frequently would have been a massive buff.

Base health 538 -> 580 Health/lvl 85 -> 90

And trust me. There you go, Aatrox is balanced/strong. Riot just wants to somehow wait 2 years before they "figure it out".

Dude i love these change Ideas to be honest. But, also to be honest if they happened in the hands of a good Aatrox player like myself he'd be actually op. But its still a great start since his current spot right now is very shaky. I would say in order of priority the skills that need some tweaking for Aatrox are q>r>e>w. And ofcourse his passive is somewhere in there too. A lot going on with this champion and changes def should be considered imo
