WHY WOULD YOU NERF AATROX

I thought that the new aatrox rework was a buff but after playing him for a few games I realized he his complete garbage now. He hasnt been very good these last few seasons and with the change to him in 7.5 I thought the champ would be better in game, but low and behold, NOPE. HES EVEN WORSE NOW. The multiple games I played with new (more) trash aatrox led me to talk to my teamates and see what their experiences had been with aatrox after patch 7.5. A few people had been in games with the new aatrox or played the new aatrox and they all thought that he was much worse and much less rewarding in every phase of the game. Why the f*ck would you do this. Plz bring a better aatrox to the rift

Everytime they banned Malz mid I would aatrox and carry with 2 damage items or 1 damage item if I was behind and then straight tank I dont know wat the fuk they were doing, they were just trying to nerf passive really, people couldnt mess with yu and all ins were fun in teamfihts with passive, and this whole doing away with heals thats like taking away mana from an ap laner. I stoped playing Alister after they nerfed him too.

How did they nurf him?

His Passive is at a MUCH SHORTER COOLDOWN at all levels.
His abilities no longer cost health
His W passive heals MORE.
His Q (Dark Flight) is now [way] stronger, before it scaled BONUS damage, now instead it scales ALL DAMAGE. This means every time Aatrox levels up, he gains 110% of his BASE DAMAGE onto his Q, which he never had before.
Aatrox can now fill his resource bar way way way way faster than he ever could before (5 ability casts / passive procs, compared to.. roughly 15 auto attacks before?).

The only nurf in his entire kit was to the amount of damage his W can deal when he turns off the healing aspect, and it was only reduced slightly to make up for the fact that it doesn't cost him health to use it anymore.

You are completely crazy and clearly can't read or comprehend anything that they've put in the patch notes.

it was a nerf. he could fill his passive bar before btw, with 2 q's or `q e w combo.

No more perma as.

His E costs more hp level 1-6, so bad for spamming.

his passive can only be used if his passive is full.

W only heals more if you're stacking HP, and ONLY late game.

his W damage is down across the board.

I dont think you ever played the old aatrox or the new one, or both?

W heals less Attack speed less Revive worse Passive 10 years to stack and falls off extremly quickly. He now has a worse build path W does less damage Trades worse because w and attack speed nerfs Very telegraphed attack pattern

I play him a ton he is worse to the point where riots thinking to hotfix him

His passive doenst heal more when it matters. If you are healing more above 50 percent health with the new Aatrox compared to the old, that means you aren't using his bonus damage..and even if hes missing 3k health, he wont heal as much as he used to under 50 percent with 2 offensive items and the rest tank.

You are so out of line even posting this. Know what you are talking about first.

Not one Aatrox main cared or asked for more damage on his Q.

Tell you what. Go main him as he is in ranked and come back and apologize to us for your ignorance when you realize he is shit right now.

Okay I missed the part where he only revives during activation, yes that's a pretty huge nurf. The only reason anyone picked Aatrox was so they could cheese with his passive and apparently that's removed now unless he's actually been in combat.

And yes, I have played Aatrox several times. I've played every champion multiple times.

I played every champion several times. I don't post about changes to them unless I've played thousands or least high 100s of ranked matches. And neither should you.

So let's look at Faker, rarely plays a lot of games on any champion... someone like him shouldn't have the right to give feedback? Not to compare myself to Faker, but I've played this game since 2011 and I've played every champion MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES. I have know the mechanics of every single champion in this game and how they work and will work.

I'm sorry. but you don't have much right to tell me what I can and can't do.

Why would you not be allowed to give feedback? one game should even be enough to give thoughts on a champion. of course the more you play the better but everyone has the right and the obligation to give feedback about the champions and games they love.

You just defended a guy who's feedback included the argument, "You are completely crazy and clearly can't read or comprehend anything that they've put in the patch notes." This after playing the champion a few games LMAO. You're as bad as he is. If you don't have competency on a topic, just keep your mouth shut and let more valued opinions be seen.

You tell a guy who has played tons of Aatrox...

Then you post...

Okay I missed the part where he only revives during activation

The evidence seems to be against you as far as who is knowledgeable. Saying you played Aatrox several times sounds like some kind of joke on your part. Unfortunately you're serious. Then you act like you have every right to shout your inexperienced opinion to the world, but he doesn't have the right to call you out on it. Here's a clue: It has nothing to do with rights. It's about good advice. If you have none, keep quiet and learn something.

His passive is about the same except it's about never up unlike before. Total trash.

My little brother loves Aatrox like a lot. has a keyboard and pendent and other shit but hes trying to learn to play him even in this weaken state. I truly feel bad for him his favorite champ was slammed and hes trying to make him good that's a kid that loves this champ. I really hope the either revert or fix Aatrox, I love playing with my brother but riot really put him in the dumps with these changes.

TrexxsMar 14, 20171 votes

Despite the no cost Q and W. Aatrox is rework is severly nerfed. You have made his passive only relevant in mid late game. Plus is passive no longer stacks passive attack speed. I use to main him and can no longer do ANY good in lane what so ever. Time to go back to vlad. Oh wait. You fuckers reworked him too.

I haven't played in a while but when I came back to find out they actually nerfed this poor champion I had to come find out why. Tryndamere was already superior to Aatrox yet they decided to nerf aatrox to the grown. His Q was garbage compared to tryndamere's E. And Trynd gets to keep moving and fighting during his immortal period. Aatrox has to just sit there. Reason I compare the two is because they are equivalents lore-wise and mechanics-wise. I think the real reason they nerfed him is because too many losers kept complaining that they couldn't get a guaranteed kill on him when they brought him to 0. And because not many people used him, Riot figured they'd ruin his key element to make every1 else happy and buff him a bit in the parts that don't matter to make it appear that he is better now. Nope! As someone who has mained Aatrox since release, I can confirm that.

I've have noticed all other facts that are already mentioned as to how much Aatrox is significantly yet up most ridiculously been Nerfed to the Grave. It is almost like Aatrox's dignity and reputation has been spat on & unjust. His Lore or story/blog has become a dead Legend. The Symbolic meaning or will to portray the definition of a heroic one-man army is just a "Myth" no longer acknowledge. The funny part is Reviving "was" his speciality.
