atleast give me an on-hit damage to make me feel like i'm somewhat relevant and benefaction somehow

make a Magic damage on-hit, that, something like, 30/50/60 on hit magic damage during his ult would absolutely be amazing

or like someone here already posted, give it the old ult of Sion

Edit: i Strongly vote for the magic on-hit during his ult, as it will allow him to do a medium damage while being tanky, he just has too much AS, without actually something in his kit to benefit from it

Ulting as Aatrox is a massive autoattack steroid.

The problem is that Aatrox is more vulnerable to CC than Fiora. If the CC didn't have damage that would be one thing, but by the time he's allowed to autoattack he's near-dead and then either ignited and two-shotted or (in rarer cases) gets his entire health bar back.

Fiora is pretty QSS reliant but Aatrox is like woooooooooooooah holy crap he can't afford it but needs it at the game start to remain competitive.

If he was magic immune during his Q then it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but Fizz is already a massive problem being magic immune, and likewise Tristana isn't magic immune during similar hops.

Aatrox's untargettability or CC immune during Q wouldn't be a problem, as it doesn't have 4s CD as Fizz's E.

Aatrox's problem is that he doesn't have enough CC to be a tank, enough dmg for a melee carry not enough base stats and damage to be a bruiser, he has barely any identity as a champ.

When i read about his lore i thought of a tank champion with Auras to buff his allies and with a good initiation.

What we got is a masochist and selfish champion that is subpar on everything he does, the only real thing he has it's the sustain, which is partially there to actually OFFSET the fact his real HP pool not only is small because of base stats, but also because he continuosly damages himself HEAVILY to just use some spells.

Also, his passive is useless in teamfights because you restart without any bloodwell, which when full it's his only non ult steroid, since his dmg is almost exclusively done by autoattacks, completely wrecks him.

The last buff is nice but he needs a rework, he actually needed one after he was released in my opinion, i had high expectations and was left completely upset.

I really wish he would be turned into a Ally buffing initiation tank, it fits his lore so much, he was not winning wars alone, he would just take the losing side and inspire them to turn the tide of the battle.

I laugh and feel sad everytime he yells"NOW WE TURN THE TIDE" and all he has got is a steroid for HIMSELF and well, uhm, a bit more range on his AA that does absolutely nothing for being kited and that's it.

He says WE but he does, or he attempts to do things just by himself.

Ult buffs allies and taunts enemies for short period of time. There you go. Increase his base tank stats, and for the love of god do something with that W. It just doesn't fit with his kit. Maybe change his W to an aoe damaging spell that siphons the life from enemies near him into a shield, the shield strength being based on the number of enemies he siphoned life from.

i honestly have to agree here, i hate his W so much

There was a thread suggesting giving Aatrox a mini version of old Sion's ult, a lifesteal increase when activated that heals allys nearby.

Aatrox is supposed to encourage others to fight, and this would fit thematically.
