I'm really sorry your champion got gutted because hes unpopular and riot is willing to take risks when it comes to these kind of champions.

COUGH mordekaiser COUGH

(insert -3ad vayne meme)

Theres probably only a 1000-2000 of you out there, but you should know, you're not alone, and I'm happy to have been able to spam this champion 19 games in a row before he got reworked.

Also rip double revive aatrox

ALSO, riot said they will look into aatrox, they aren't just abandoning him. His new kit is definitly better than the old one, but the numbers are under tuned (imo). So hopefully aatrox still has a future.

No, his new kit is NOT better than the old one. You're not an Aatrox main if you say this.

aside from his passive, whats wrong? It doesnt cost me 300 HP anymore to use my Q when im at full hp, and that feels good. I mean, his Q was probably the best part of the rework. his passive is the worst. but with the right numbers on his W and E (for gods sake give it back the AP scaling) and a major change to his passive, he will be fine.

I never claimed to be an aatrox main btw, I just spammed the champ 19 games in a row 3 days before he got reworked.

I never claimed to be an aatrox main btw, I just spammed the champ 19 games in a row 3 days before he got reworked. Everything. They forced his kit towards tanky builds abandoning offensive builds. But offensive builds were the only thing which worked. He is kited so easily, does only little damage wihtout 3 offensive items and still dies because he can't Leach when he gets kited and they nerfed damage on W.

And his passive is the main problem. As long it's not on 100 you basically don't have a passive. I simply can't understand it. This hero was considered weak and the first thing they do is nerf his passive completely because they think when he is going to be played tanky it's going to be op to have always a passive.

Sorry best Skarner but you are dead wrong on this. This was a massive nerf and the kit is awful now.

Exactly

Honestly, the biggest problem I have is with his passive. It makes it much harder to jungle, it makes his lane phase even shittier, and it makes it nearly impossible for him to roam at full power. The biggest change to his Q that I would have wanted was to make it so that it doesn't get interrupted by EVERYTHING. I never built tank Aatrox, so the flat health cost is unnoticeable to me.

Can he last long enough in fights to consistently proc his passive unless he builds mostly tank? Are Riot trying to shoehorn him into a specific build path, given that his heal is largely based off of % health now? Why does his passive empty so quickly, and ALL AT ONCE?

I haven't played enough of him yet, but these are my initial impressions. He feels shitty.
