How to fix aatrox(withouth actualy full on reworking him like swain,galio or urgot)
Aatrox is a champion that nobody plays(literely check his play rate).Despite his kit having so much potential.He has such great ideas for kit but they arent perfect(similiar to old galio,and yes galio was kinda good back then).So problem Aatrox has is prob the fact that his q cant be balanced its a mini malphite ult so if they buff its hitbox and range its gotta be too strong i mean u would have aoe knock up on basic ability that doesnt realy have that much of a cooldoown.His passive is almost perfect in my opinion just prob is with his passive once he gets up he gets bursted if he has no hp items.Witch brigs us to his main problem:ITEMS.Aatroxs kit needs him to build hp,lifesteal,attack speed,some movement cause he is slow af(black clever,trinity is what people buy usualy).Everything i listed is 2 much cause if u dont build one of these things u are 2 weak,U are slow as i said,lifesteal is just perfect for him and attack speed meh his kit doesnt give that much u actualy need on him.His BLADES OF TORMENT despite i actualy liking how slow it is it does no damage(slow is good tho)it rewards good players to slow down person so u can knock em up with ur q.Tho this ability has poor damage and doesnt reward for anything but his slow.I would like to see some kind of mark that maybe gives aatrox bonus attack speed if he knock up the person or bonus damage for next proc of blood price(Change this name plz it doesnt live up to its name when it doesnt use hp anymore).His W is prob reason why aatrox is my favorite top laner and the fact that i have 70 percent win rate on 33 games with him in gold 4.This ability is aatrox whole damage prob with that is that he is A.Gotta get bursted if team fights if he isnt fed,B.He is gotta use Blood Thirst in teamfights survive but still do 0 damage cause he isnt on Blood Price.Maybe adding so his Blood Thirst getting an bonus ad scale so its not just missing hp.And Blood Price might be good if it had like part of that bonus damage dealt make Aatrox heal but that would be too strong so i think adding scale on that comes from lifesteal items(Exzample:10%Lifesteal gives him 5% healing on BloodPrice bonus damage up to cap of healing to 45% or something like that so he doesnt heal for an 100 percent of damage dealt).His ult is good it has rly high base damage for early rank despite it having kinda bad damage late witch isnt bad cause it gives him alot of attack speed plus u need to go in knock up few people and ult so u can get ur passive stacked to max.But what would i add to this ability is Movement Speed every time he usses Blood Price cause he normaly has problem of not being able to catch up to lot of people nowdays.So he doesnt have to build Frozen Mallet.Frozen mallet is good item for aatrox it gives alot hp some ad and slow on autos,tho u cant build it if 1000 movemespeed jhin is kiting u(*Laughs in Rageblade
