@Riot Aatrox lines in regards to revive removal

Aatrox So now that the new iteration of aatrox in PBE removes the revive, this also means that the very cool lines that triggered during his revive such as "I AM DARKIN, I DO NOT DIE" would be gone. Can we recycle those lines into a different area of aatrox such as his respawn at fountain or ult reset Riot? Some of those lines are very dynamic and bring a lot of his character to life. It would be great to keep those lines somewhere else since they had a lot of meaning and strength to them so it would be a shame to completely remove them from the game.

Edit: I see the posts that the lines would be recycled to zilean ult and GA. I think it would be a good idea to impliment the lines when he gets an ult reset and respawning at platform as well so it isn't so reliant on getting an item or having a certain champion that has a revive in its kit so the lines can be heard more often. Because if it is only implimented with GA and zilean etc revives, the lines will rarely be heard unless you force yourself to build the item or luckily have zilean on your team. Rhaast has lines specifically geared to when he respawns at platform so it would be a great idea to recycle the revive lines to Aatrox's respawn which is much more reliable in triggering the lines.

Why aren't more people upvoting these threads? They need to do this.

Nah, they will probably be kept as unused like some unused Sion ones, and we won't be able to ever hear them again.

I dont play aatrox but his revive is a staple. aatrox lore describes him as someone who has the ability to change losing battles into victories, he simply wouldn't be the same without it because his arrival to fights isnt as big of a threat, I loved seeing aatrox flying into battle to yelling at his enemies he was engaging. in a way he symbolized a war demon and not having that is going to negatively impact his laning ability as well as his roll in team fights. Kinda kills his whole "You would rush towards me, Kai'Sa? What fool would build a strategy on that idea? Come, let us begin." vibe.

That rework did nothing good for the darkin blade

For item 3026 the need to use his animation just root him. Then they could still use the lines?

I hope this gets triple the upvotes.

I see that your earlier thread was removed so what was it I said earlier......Use the previous "deaths defied" stat from phantom dancer and when without the healing from ult you would have died make him say his quotes or something like that.

Or maybe when he gets an ult reset.

Can we petition them to fix the walk animations on his non-Bloodmoon skins while we're here

Removing the revive will remove the unique piece of his ult and identity in favor of more Stat check ultimate.

You already have Renekton, Swain and Nasus who have "Press R to turn big and powerful for 10+ seconds" Ults, this removes the unique gimmick of Aatrox's. I dont agree with the change

hey now don't worry i already got you covered, reav3 replied to my post saying it's gonna be implemented on other revives in 9.15 here's the post

HE has like 20 lines for the revive so for Riot to let them go to waste would be a shame. Make it happen, Rito!

Aatrox is one of my favorite champions lore wise along with TahmKench , I’ve been playing both champions since they came out, just because they’re cool in the lore, and I hate to see them be changed again and again mechanically. I’d love for Riot to keep the voice lines somehow and it’s a great idea to do it as you suggested.

DStreet37/12/2019, 12:47:38 AM2 votes

I think aatrox should keep his revive. It’s how riot advertised the champion when he was first released. I feel like taking that away from him would almost make him a different champion.

I second this ☝🏻

We need the revive. Aatrox is all about causing havoc, and right when they think they have him, he comes back fighting again.

isn't his revive HIS MAIN THEME? why would they suddenly remove it?
