Aatrox, lets be honest RIOT....

Aatrox was my favorite champion in the entire game. Not because of his gameplay, but his design was awesome, animations were beautiful and felt smooth,and his voice was great. His gameplay was fun but always felt like it was an uphill battle to play him yet still I would because that’s what you do when you love a champ.....

Then came the rework... I was all for a rework. Bring new life to the character with an attempt to make him viable. And although I think his new design is good with the addition of really just him having no wings until he ults, their are major issues with this champ that I and I feel the community as a whole feels.

1. His voice is unbearable Why change his voice? Why does a warrior god sound like brums Russian cousin? It’s really unbearable all the way down to a vast majority of his voice lines. We need his old mysterious divine voice back.

2. He feels clunky and his animations aren’t smooth Old Aatrox felt like he moved faster, smoother, and you knew when his auto animation would hit and when you could cancel it. This is the polar opposite. He feels heavy and slow and his auto animation is GOD awful. Needs extreme polishing like right now

3. His kit is... not good I see where you were going RIOT... but you you should have know he was bad from the start. And for the sake of the argument I’m not comparing the old Aatrox who was just meta to the new one. Even the non meta Aatrox was better. This new one has good potential though. He needs to be able to move with his Q... now I understand the decision to not make that a thing was because he has 3 knock ups in 1 ability, but maybe making is movement during his Q’s slower would help because using his very short, predictable, and easily kiteable E to reposition sucks. Next, remove his E and revert it back to his old W. If he can move while he Q’s his new E is pointless. Similar to his old W, one part should do more damage from all sources (autos and abilities) the other should life steal from all sources. This keeps the good things about his new E and the good things about his old W. And last I think his passive should stay the same. It’s New and unique but should be every 3 autos similar to his old W.

Please consider making changes to Aatrox as this rework really disappointed the community.
