A quick recap of all the info i could find on the Aatrox GU

Poolparty Sauron··1 votes·212 views
  1. Will be the biggest non VGU rework ever made
  2. Will mostly likely get a completely new VO
  3. Way more focus on his theme as the "Darkin warrior"
  4. Will very likely retain a lot of built in sustain
  5. His development lead is Riot Jag

With this said and done not much to go on when it comes to our Darkin bro which leaves us with little real insight into what how he may turn out. This can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. Either you want to be suprised or are getting a bit worried like myself with such little info to go on.

I should be on Riot rework team.

Passive-Every 5 seconds, Aatrox's next attack heals him.

Q-two part ability. Part1- Aatrox dashes forward, grabbing the first enemy he collides with. If he doesn't come into contact with a champ, Q goes on CD. If he does collide with a champ, he uses that big ole gauntlet to throat grab them. Part2- Aatrox has a 1second window to cast his current iteration of Q, with the enemy champion in hand. Essentially choke slamming them.

W-Every 3rd attack does bonus damage, and becomes ranged. Deals additional max health damage on bleeding targets.

E-Same thing, Torment Blades. But, since it has always shot out two blades, make its damage act like it shoots two blades. If both hit you, you take damage from both. Remove the slow. Add "Bleed" Targets, struck by Torment Blades bleed for 1% of their maximum health, every second for 2seconds. Aatrox has passive lifesteal on bleeding targets, autoattacks add 1second to the duration, but the duration cap is always 2seconds. Movement also refreshes the duration.

R- Retain his current avatar form, and its current steroid effects. Passive-Immunity to Greivous wounds. Remove the burst magic damage. Replace the burst magic damage with, 20/40/60per second, health drain aura. 10/20/30 on minions. Bleeding targets drain every 0.5seconds rather than every 1second.

How would I build him with this kit? Idk, probably Grasp of the Undying.

Would be a tough choice between Black Cleaver and Trinity Force. Black Cleaver would proc off bleed tics making it a strong team wide armor shred. Trinity Force could be abused by building up to your 3rd attack, casting Torment blades and then slapping somone with that trinity proc+W damage from a distance.
