This champion does nothing, has so much counterplay i can't understand how you could die to him.

Feel bad for his mains, they didn't get a busted champion like Irelia mains did they are stuck with that useless garbage.

Wow calling a champion useless that was pick ban in proplay for at least a month. Strange times are occuring.

Strong early game dueling, good team AOE damage and cc, and can even help a team focus someone down if his passive is up. He's only at all bad if you suck with aiming your Q's.

It's not the bit that whether or not Aatrox is good or not that bugs me it's his rework design. I just don't like it, his gameplay is too linear and one ability based (Q). His every other ability is just an insurance to help you land your Q (W - Lands enemies perfectly in the middle for you to hit it, E - Allows you to reposition, and R - Allows you to catch up).

He's just so boring to me now, I used to be quite an Aatrox player back in the day. I feel really bad for those people who main the poor guy. Visually he looks epic but gameplay wise, I just can't ever play him again.

pro play pick/ban before he even got buffed. Aatrox isn't high counterplay just because you can't land his skillshots. In fact, a good Aatrox will give you almost 0 room for retaliation and he's easily Pantheon-tier lane bully, too.

aatrox is bad in soloq below like diamond 2 because he's not a soloq champion and needs not-ape team to coordinate around his picks after he enjoys his free-win lane phase

Due to him being one of the heaviest lane-bullies that's still actually kinda relevant after 30 minutes, unlike Pantheon?

He's like a tanker, lower damage Renekton with actual counterplay.
