Aatrox...

The passive buff is cool, and i'm glad i read they are planning to do some further work with him. However, I hope they look @ his Q

ACTIVE: Aatrox takes flight and slams down at the target area after a brief delay, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies within a 225 unit radius upon landing and Airborne icon knocking up enemies in a 75 unit radius epicenter for 1 second. PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 60% bonus AD)

Instead of making it a 75 unit radius for the knock up, why not just make the entire area knock them up? I mean..RekSai ....

I'm no Aatrox main, I've played him a bit though and I dont see why giving him a lil more reliable CC would push him over the top... but thats my 2cents GGs and Happy Gaming <3 lol =]

Im in favor of expaning both radii. Both of them have vastly unfavorable risk/rewards due to how small the AoE is and how lackluster the damage is on a non-knockup.

Still, the reward for landing it on a single isolated target is pretty goddam significant so that's the only reason i see this not changing.

This would actually resolve his issues, larger radius on the knock up area and the larger areas, combined with a faster animation on the ability and a very short invulnerability as he takes flight. His Q right now, for its pretty long CD, high health cost and big risk to use offensively since it's your only escape, it's very sluggish, way too hard to land and very often get interrupted. It's not spammable and the range is not that great, so I just don't see why it has to be this bad. I think his damage is overall fine, it's his utility that needs work and this would be it.

Add these two changes to the change from last patch (passive scaling CD) and he'll be in a pretty balanced place.

Right now Aatrox is the champ to pick if you are planing to troll! His abilities do NO dmg and he is useless as fck, its the kind of champ that can only AA to do dmg... He need a full rework to not be more than Tryndamere2

Trundle trap your teammates by creating terrain. Interrupt channels by placing pillars on them. Assist the enemy yasuo by placing pillars on teammates Bard save people on the enemy team or interrupt important channels Anivia same thing as trundle JarvanIV trap teammates in AoE abilities that happen to be the same area as your ult

I dunno. Rek'Sai isn't really comparable.

Rek'Sai used 2 abilities to go in and knockup, and her dash is slower.

He definitely needs help, but I don't think this is the way to do it. I think he needs a more fighter-y playstyle, this makes him seem like an initiator/tank.
