I need to get something off my chest...
A melee AA reliant champion.
Theme: Warrior with magic RUNED BLADE
KIT: ALL AD scaling >_>
Resource: Cooldowns, No resource
CC and utility: Knockup and aoe stun, mobility jumps (q), and dash with shield.
Ult: steroid that gives her increased range, and changes to Q and W range, while giving her a one time execute.
A melee AA reliant champion
Theme: sustain fighter with magic living sword
Kit: Hybrid, AD AND AP scaling....
Resource: HP/health
CC: knockup
Ult: Steroid that gives increased range, damage on cast AoE, and AS.
My main concern is everyone has there problems with riven that don't play riven, and every time someone says remove x y or z from her kit, everyone claims that it will gut riven flat out because she needs everything in order to do what she does. But Aatrox role wise is the same, has a knockup, a steroid ult, but the difference being that Aatrox has to manage a resource of his life, and he does not have a shield or hard stun. Aatrox is in an odd spot where he either stomps or does nothing for 50 minutes, as a fighter should fall of a tad but not completely when behind.
Also the fact that they both have implications of magical backgrounds, but Riven gets ENTIRELY AD scalings, but Aatrox has both scalings....
I just feel that it is funny that Aatrox is not super popular, can do well, and has no Stuns or shields which lots of people feel is the problem with riven and her kit. But if riven lost her ad scaling shield, or her stun was changed in some manner the world would end
