New Aatrox in the hands of someone who mains him.

So provided below is a Video of me playing Aatrox with his new Kit, I'd like to think that as someone who has been in the top 500 Aatrox Players Worldwide before his rework my level of credibility is decent enough to disprove some people about how good/bad his kit really is.

I'm fairly certain that this is how Riot intended the New Aatrox to be played (anyone on the Aatrox Rework Team feel free to correct me).

Disclaimer: Even though I do well with him Aatrox is by no means perfect as is, he could still use a buff to his Q to speed up the animations and possibly a slight AA range increase when he ults to match his visual reach

Champs sitting at a 55% win rate so far today.

No more buffs, let the latest hotfixes settle and see where he's at or we'll have Ornn/Kai'Sa 2.0

I have watched some (Not the whole transcript) of the video you have here, and have come up with a few questions for you about him.

Having had the chance to play him before the rework, and you have now since his new classification as a Juggernaut with the rework, would you consider him better as the Diver that he was BEFORE, or better as the Juggernaut that he is now?

If you are not aware of this "unofficial" classification that I bring up in the next question, I'll tell you first. A number of Juggernaut players, like myself, have come up with two unofficial subclasses of Juggernauts, called Raid Bosses and Freight Trains.

Raid Bosses are the slower, heavier hitters, while Freight Trains are the faster, but less hard-hitting ones. Examples of Raid Bosses are Darius & Illaoi while examples of Freight Trains are Volibear & Shyvana .

Would you consider him a Raid Boss Juggernaut, or a Freight Train Juggernaut?

Having seen him a number of times in-game (But not having had the chance to actually PLAY him, because each time I want to he gets banned or the enemy team takes him) I personally consider him more of a Raid Boss because of his potential for higher damage output. Once I can actually get to play him, my viewpoint may change.

Seeing as his new ult gives him the revive EVERY TIME he uses it, do you consider it better, worse, or about the same as the old revive mechanic he had before?

Since he's now part of my favorite champion group/subclass or whatever you want to call it, I have been very curious to try the new Aatrox, but as stated above, just can't seem to get the chance to play him.

Feel free to answer these questions in whatever order you wish.

From a Juggernaut main.

Sad that I can't see the itemization without going into match history

With all due respect, being in the top 500 players world wide doesn't matter since this Aatrox is like a completely new champion, no similarity whatsoever other than the built-in GA.

Why are champs who solely right click like Kindred, Yi, Trynd, Udyr, Trundle, and any marksman

That would be great! Or maybe increase the E to three dashes instead of 2 since you know, three Q's lel

I agree with the range buff when ulting. It seems very appropriate given his size change, even with the wings.
