RIP in peace Garen punch...

He's mean to be an artist in battle, punching people when he has a sword it's not in his style, or atleast that's how i see it.

Jhin is a mere amateur of killing.

Aatrox is an artisan

Actually, it's a gauntlet used to shield blows. If a stray blow happens to come at Aatrox, he can merely angle his blade to parry it, and his leading arm will be protected by his gauntlet arm.

I thought that armored gauntlet was more as a protective shield rather than an offensive weapon.

Not the only issue. Aatrox has plenty of problems. Aatrox not punching anything is like a Power Fist equipped Space Marine not smacking people. It feels wrong

I'll agree with that, but if I remember right he has a pretty cool upper-cut animation with his sword as a crit. It doesn't help the whole hand issue, but it does look cool :3

Make it his crit animation. Like how Garen used to uppercut.

Auz the Ripper1 votes

I rather like Aatrox's current crit animation. He whips the target with his sword.

aatrox is a warlord with a sword, why will he use his arm to punch people when using a sword gives him more attack range?

macromite1 votes

can't, his arm has too little reach during his ult to make it look good.

La Barbotte1 votes

they could make it his crit animation because the current one is derpy, he slice from down to up like hes picking them up XD

  • when you are on your third W dmg and hit turrets you look like a savage XD

I think his armored hand is better suited for grabbing an enemies weapon before stabbing them in the heart.

It's why he uses his sword in the right hand.

That's just my interpretation.

Aatrox is left handed?

The Whamboozler1 votes

And his lore. And his aesthetics. And his lackluster VO. And his bland kit. And his generic and boring playstyle. And how badly he fell from the cool "Inspires men to furious bloodlust" theme his lore suggested about him into a generic splitpush bruiser with NO teamplay skills. And his goofy design. And...

You get the point. It think Aatrox was is the single biggest pile of "meh" Riot has ever produced.

Stars Shaper1 votes

He uses it for his thrid sword strike doesn't he?

FrickendaChicken1 votes

He Thrusts his sword into an enemy, gutting them and ripping their insides out with a serrated blade, or brings the blade down- empowered by his own blood- on top of his enemies, effectively cleaving them in two.

he punches the air while holding a sword in that same hand
