Please Bring Back Old Aatrox

Cheek2g·10/13/2019, 3:45:43 AM·52 votes·14,176 views

Back in 2013 was when I started playing league and Aatrox was one of my first champs and I stuck with him for a long time and it made me really sad when i heard he was getting reworked. When the rework came out I was like it was okay but I missed the old kit (his w mainly). Later on he was made into this now and I just want old Aatrox back, I don't care if the old kit is revamped, I just miss the boi. I know this won't change anything but if something changes it would make me happy.

At the very least they could release a female Darkin (aka Varus' sister) that would function similarly to old Aatrox.

We have 3 out of 5 Darkin Champions so far so we need a mid laner and a support. Kind of hard to do either with old Aatrox Kit now that I think about it.

I'm still kinda not over the fact that they simply deleted him from the game and said it's going to be a minor rework...

I know we probably can't make a change but this is my best effort.

I miss the old sound effects the most The demonic noise he'd make while slurping with his W, or the ear-piercing noise the E would make

Only if you bring back old Galio too, both of them have undergone extensive buffs/nerfs after their reworks because they are balance nightmares. And it just so happens some of the most fun i've had in League was playing those champions back then.

Go play Xin Zhao. He's the same thing as old Aatrox with just as little of a personality.

Actually there are things that i like about the new aatrox, however they have removed so many things that made him unique, that made him aatrox. They removed his revive and his heal and sustain as well as nerfed his damage and reduced his mobility. Its too much. One thing that I really liked about old aatrox was the W, where you can choose to life steal or sacrifice life for massive damage, that was very unique.

i do miss old aatrox, i miss when the passive gave free attack speed, i don't even really care if they remove the revive. But i don't hate the current aatrox, i mean he seems to be a pain to balance but i don't have him right now. What i want is old quinn back, where is my birb

I never played aatrox before the VGU but now I play him now and then. I personally think he is a much more fun and interesting champ then the old aa reliant version (champs like trynda should get reworked too for that reason). But his personality and VU was better before.

Please bring back old Aatrox

If I can get back the old Irelia or Fiora, sure.

Old Fiora if I have to choose.

Seems like the right thing to do. The counterplay being all micro and no macro has overall worsened the experience. It just makes the came more stressful and less rewarding. And I loved Sol, the dragon was a reason for me to log on and that is now gone. Game was better when kits were less loaded, assassins were very risky to blind pick, and Riot was okay with every champ not being for everyone.

2013? ARE YOU SERIOUS? WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE SO FAR?

My mastery 7 that I have on my profile is just a solemn reminder of when I played the absolute shit out of old aatrox. We have all been cheated.

I miss him so much. I love new Aatrox and I've grown attached to him for sure, but I miss back in 2015-2017 when I felt the rush of finding a new main that really resonated with me. No one will capture me more than old Aatrox.

I swear with the amount of patches of nerfs and buffs Aatrox is gonna get a major buff and nerf at the same time one day.

Evelynn as well. Or at the least have champions to take their place. Pre-rework Evelynn filled a unique niche as a jungler being hybrid AD, AP, mixed, or AS focused to shred through targets after stalking them. Now she's a constantly top 3 jungler sure, but it isn't healthy and she builds the same 4 items every single game.

I get that the tank build on her was an issue, but that could have been avoided just with higher ratios and her new ult while keeping her malleable build path that made her adapt to the game's needs.

Right now the closest to a character that can shred a target from stealth is Nocturne , who is likely on the chopping block for a complete rework outside of his ult anyway.

I don't personally think we need to go all the way back to pre-rework Aatrox, but a lot of the changes made to him recently were terrible.

They completely removed the revive on his ultimate, and now his E is literally just "dash", one of the most boring abilities in the game. Not to mention his passive being changed from something that allows him to out-sustain his opponent to a knock-off Grasp of the Undying.

Revert him to when he got a revive on his ultimate if he got a kill, had 2 dashes and a more unique passive and just nerf some numbers.
