Aatrox changes

I have 600 ranked games with Aatrox. He needs a buff and a slight rework. But the buff can't be too crazy. He also needs to live up to his lore description.

1)Get rid of his blood well draining out of combat. 2)As a passive bonus, increase his movement speed towards allies who are under 25% health. 2)Permanently increase his blood wells capacity by 2 HP per minion kill and 15 per kill or assist, and with that, making his max increase in attack speed potentially higher. 3)Change his Ult to Darkin Rally. Forget the AOE Damage. Instead, nearby enemy champions are demoralized, reducing their attack speed and movement speed by 30%. During the same 5 seconds, nearby ally champions attack speeds are increased by 30%, and further away allies move with increased movement speed towards Aatrox's location. For 12 seconds he still gets his bonus attack speed as normal.

Obviously the numbers and durations I used are just examples, but you get the idea.

Now he will live up to his description in lore. He gains some scaling with his ability to increase his blood well capacity and becomes much more game changing in team fights.

So as another Aatrox main (not quite as many games on him as you lol) I completely agree that he needs some severe help asap, and not just a numbers buff, but some sort of rework/adjustment.

I like your idea, it definitely has potential, but I had my own idea on a new ult, as well as the rest of his kit. I made a thread about it and just got completely ignored during peak hours, so if anyone's interested in seeing my idea here's the link to the thread:

I'm not copy/pasting it on here since it's a pretty massive read for a forum post, so I don't really want to put a giant comment box on someone else's thread lol I'll leave the choice of seeing and reading it up to everyone else instead :P

But yeah, w/e the buff/rework/etc may be, Aatrox definitely needs it.

I do t have even half games as you it in defintly higher elo than you and love my main as he is. I honestly disagree to such changes,Aatrox is not as good in his current state,but only numbers should change. A champion that have balanced win rate doesn't need such changes,only really high understanding of the mechanics of the champion. I believe champions like urgot kassadin and many more needs rework.

Blood well should still drain out of combat.

trade that one for invulnerability while in flight.

Yeah well, I would love to have a dive that is improved...but for some reason I don't see it happening.
