Aatrox suffers from "dragoon"ism

Very Hard Engage·Apr 30, 2017·2 votes·299 views

from old ff11, which were trash tier...

aatrox just gets animation locked on every little thing he does, the autos damage comes out so late, no canceling or resets... its extremely underwhelming and sluggish.

it borderline makes him an ad caster.... without abilities.

i feel if aatrox attack animation and Q+E animations shortened between cast - > effect he would be a decent/workable top laner. (borderline too strong needing love tap nerfs)

but the thing which holds aatrox back is himself.

Aatrox has a healthy winrate right now.

as do graves lee katarina leblanc and lucian.

win rate has never been nor ever will be a good measure of champ balance. (its only use is to determine gross outliars)

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong.

(Hint, it's the dude who has both a 40% playrate and a 53% winrate)

And Aatrox is doing just fine.

Only his R is terrible, I think they messed it up with his minirework. I remember before you could Q+E+R pretty much instantly, now your R never goes off.

That being said Aatrox's R shouldn't have a cast time, he's not a juggernaut and it makes him unnecessarily clunky.
