cool aatrox animation missing?

Akali Prime·Jul 2, 2018·1 votes·2,649 views

been playing A LOT of aatrox since his rework and in his reveal trailer he does a cool animation at 0:28 where he throws his sword in the air, spins then catches it.

If im not mistaken i haven't seen him do this animation at all in the game maybe it happens quickly to where i dont notice mid battle or something.

If it does can someone tell me when the animation usually procs so i can look out for it, id love to see it in game and if it was just for the video than...that really sucks.. maybe riot can add it in the game for me

and another thing, is aatrox supposed to have voice lines for his Crtl 1 taunt? because he just waves his sword around awkwardly and doesn't say anything. its weird.

That animation is in the game, it should happen after the first or second Q attack. Its a transition animation from end of the Q into Passive walk (so make sure your passive is up). Aatrox has many transitions since he has 4 possible states. Another fun one you can control yourself is with ctrl+5, you can sheathe/re-sheathe the sword. He does some fun transitions when you go from sword on the back to passive stance via ctrl+5.

But the Taunt-Joke animation are broken, with the VO too, right ?

I think the ctrl + 5 visual changes are pretty awesome. I wish they'd do that with Project Ashes hood, instead of making it come only when shes in jungle area/enemy side of the map
