He looks, to me personally, a lot more fun to play as, but a lot less to play against. He really only has 1 ability, which is something that i hate about characters. If you have 1 time to fight someone in lane before they destroy you, it just makes it so much more of a waiting game. Even then, while playing Jax, i could never find the time to duel him. He always kinda out DPS'd me. I love his Q, how sometimes the best play is to walk back into it to take less damage and still be able to avoid the 3rd hit, but i feel as if the numbers are too generous is all. He is also any Yasuo player's wet dream, with the spam knock ups, but to anyone else it's like a Kassadin silence and doesn't add much CC to his kit. That's all I have to say, because i don't want to remind myself about his E passive healing.

Aatrox might be the worst rework they've ever done, and that's saying something considering irelia was literally unbeatable by every meta mid laner for a month.

The problem with aatrox right now is he literally only has one counter in lane, yasuo, but he can't scale, so you have a champion who effectively can't lose lane but the instant he steps out of lane does basically nothing. It's so fucking stupid I have nothing to say.

COME!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!!?!

other than that and his weird terrible soviet impersonation voice yeah.

i dont get his voice lines at all though. to be fair it makes me interested in what the heck he's talking about.

gameplay wise i think it's cool. he's more yasuo/riven/irelia/etc. esque. and less like tryndamere, jax, and yi. which to me is a good thing.

He's boring as hell

The champion is fun, very skill based, a bit hard to get used to....just the only problem is you can't even play him, everyone perma bans him.

Admittedly he seems to do everything a little too well. Cc, damage, sustain, beef. He's like melee swain 3.0. Not a fan of the moving revive as it allows risk free towers dives with easy escapes.

Probably my only decent gripe is with his death box. Without a dash it's impossible to avoid being sucked back without flashing. After which you're trapped in his combo. Imo the slow needs to go or the displacement.

Did have an enjoyable game as kled and another as urgot. But the rest have been irritating to say the least. As I said, swain 3.0

I mostly play ARAM so in my opinion: He is a lot more fun/useable on ARAM now then old Aatrox.

New ``Aatrox´´? Just Trash. Old Aatrox? Just GOD

Riot's recent New champs and VGU's sucks. Just look at Zoe, Pyke, and - Aatrox. It is horriable to play against them when they've got "a little bit of everything" .

I love it, and I played a good bit of old Aatrox. His story is sympathetic and his visuals are pretty great. The gameplay takes a little getting used to but I think he's got a very high amount of outplay potential and counterplay, and even though I've lost my fair share of games I've never not had fun with him.

Really feels like a fantastic reimagining of a champion that I loved but always thought fell short of his potential.

Also the login theme is kickass
