As Aatrox player ( a fake rework ... basically the same Aatrox with some change )
I played him quite a lot in the old days, and I know this post will prob be shadowed or downvoted; but since they talked about Aatrox ( one of my fav champ ) i would like to share my opinion on the kit I would like to se on him. ** Note: I won't propose any major change ( R apart ) from what he is now ... he will have the same kit with some mech adjustment and a clear weakness and unique scope in the game **
**Passive **
Just some small change but overall preserved It will basically have a soft and hard cap scaling with the R lvl ... it will be easier to explain with a picture.
Note : Dunno if the free Ga should be there from lvl 0 and the soft cap would provvide the AS, or make it appear at lvl 3
Q
Mech change but skill preserved Consolidating his diving side while opening a clear weakness on the kit
Aatrox will rush at the pointed location performing an upper slash that will knock up enemies ... wideness, dmg and knock duration are based on the distance traveled
Note: ignore minions collision Note2: stops upon colliding with an enemy
Again a picture to make it clearer
W
Preserved idea with few change
While un-active Aatrox will gain passive LS ( LS instead of Flat heal will prevent Tank build .... no dmg = no heal ), bonus doubled etc.... While active Aatrox will deal additional dmg on each AA, but will constantly lose Hp for the whole duration.
He should pay a continuos price for his Extra dmg it's too easy to just give 2 aa to a minion jump in an deal his Knock/E/AA combo ... he should be very very carefull on how to use this skill and when
E
Again no real change, just some basic idea
E normal cast it's the same .... or at least should be E casted after Q will deal a round slash that will deal dmg and slow enemy in a area around AAtorx
Think of this as a Aatrox version of Yas Q .... it's cool to have chained skill, why only he have one it's a mystery.
**R **
Guess it's the only mayor change.
Thematically speaking AAtrox it's a war freak, he love wars, he want wars and he want them to last forever ..... based on this i think the R he need it's the opposite of Vlad's R.
Said so:
Aatrox will unleash his true power creating a field around him for a perfect war .... While inside the field **both Enemy and Ally ** will receive reduced dmg from any source, also AAtrox will gain the following bonus in his perfect form:
Bonus AS and Range on AA Q will deal the max effect regardless of the distance traveled W passive bonus LS preserved while W is active E better or longer slow
This will give him a clear scope in a match, making him very usefull vs team that rely on flashy instant dmg with long skill CD
That's all ..... as i promised the only real change it's on the R, sorry for the bad english and for the long post.
