Aatrox Buff in 6.19 or 6.20?

Masked Pariah··8 votes·2,003 views

I think Aatrox needs a buff in these upcoming patches because he is just very "ewww" and feels unrewarding for the effort you put in for him while every other champion is (easier/more reliable) to use and gives off the same or even better reward. If I want a initiation I would pick Zac over Aatrox, If I want sustain I would pick Vlad, If I wanted a fighter I could easily pick Irelia, Jax, and Trynd to do his job, and if I wanted a Tanky Damage Dealer I could pick Darius. All champions do his job easier and I think a small buff would really help him out.

And no I dont mean buff his damage because I already know everyone and their mother thinks he could become to "OP" with damage buffs (even though I dont see it making him op) BUT HERE IS MY IDEA AND I GOT GOOD REASONING FOR IT TOO!

**Why dont we buff his Q speed and have his knock up range be the whole circle? I mean if I am spending 10% of my health to cast the low range, small circle, small damage for a knock up that on a high cooldown, then I would hope for it to be reliable you know? **Could this buff make him balanced but have a reason to be picked? I mean the only reason I want this buff is so if someone plays aatrox I dont see the "Why would you play Aatrox out of everyone else?" I see this nonstop in my games when I play him, my teammates play him, or when my enemies rage at their aatrox. I want him to be a viable pick is all :(

His winrate isn't completely abysmal, he has a 48-49% so that buff would be a bit overpowered. Shit even he has a better winrate than Kalista, Azir, Kindred and Vladimir.

Have you looked at other stats? winrate is not everything. you could have a 50% winrate but still be shit because the champ has only a 1.35% play rate and the only people who play him are dedicated one trick ponies. Also look at his damage done, amount of time he was able to cc a opponent, damage taken, kills, deaths, etc. You need to go more in depth then just winrate.

So you've seen some aatrox stomp faces and you think he's fine? You also failed to list why he's fine.

Aatrox... One: needs a buff, like a small one Two: needs a rework becasue his E, Passive, and R is useless in all ways Three: ends up like Yorick who never got touched since s2

He likely won't see any changes till the next class update after assassins is set in stone. If it's divers, then he won't get any major changes till the diver update mid season, Where Meddler said he's pretty much number one on their list. If it's vanguards then he might if riot thinks he's in a bad enough spot. Either way, it won't be till after assassins have been updated.

Well you can still give small buffs to help out a champion. They done this with yorick, ryze, and urgot.
