What I like about Aatrox

the %health heal and the damage on his W his passive and his Q

really love the knockup it's so satisfying to land it, his heal and passive make him tough to kill, and i like the synergy he has with rageblade. It's really satisfying to hit people with your W I like the mechanic behind it, having to choose between heal and damage.

btw it's not that difficult to get the passive up in team fights , remember you get stack for how many champion you hit + MAGIC DAMAGE: 200 / 300 / 400 (+ 100% AP) with 550 effect radius.

V7.19 Dark Flight Dark Flight NEW EFFECT: Is now unstoppable during the descent. ^that's technically not true his Q is bugged and can be cancelled by knock ups. mess up with terrain and turret as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZq_LIaBnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX-0FXxiIWQ and lastly his Q lose track of the last target you attacked.

his E is bugged like many other champions that i won't name and can actually miss even if you hit him in a straight line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJC5VxQI_og https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/0VWEo9Nq-aatrox-e-bug

other than his bugs the champion is really enjoyable to play, it kinda sucks that you can't keep blood well stacked all the time unless you're hitting champions or monsters but it be broken to have 30% / 40% / 50% / 60% bonus attack speed permanently by simply auto attacking a minion and i think that was the right decision to take. when you revive you have full stack so it's all good.

if you have guardian angel and full stack passive you lose it over time and then you're going to have a hard time stacking it back up which kind of suck so make sure you do the right thing, for exemple, if you have guardian angel keep the passive at 1 bar before maximum proc your W heal revive proc the passive , revive, that's the best thing you can do and it makes him super hard to deal with. there's always a get around.

overall very fun champion to play. i have no idea what they're going to do with him , but as long as he have the same mechanic as before see (alistar,soraka) rework and feel less clunky and no bugs I'll keep playing the champion

i mean they reworked fiora i like the champion but the change to her ultimate really.. ok look ... honestly i feel bored playing fiora, her old ult was way more satisfying to land, straight damage , and not a support like ability in team fights which is super cancer and toxic, all it does i proc more passive and then heals...

anyways overall i hope they don't make him a different champion, i want him to have the same mechanics but updated and less clunky, a bit like receiving an upgrade.

I'm hoping for them to keep the essence, strip the crap.

Visually Aatrox has always been a but lacking imo. E.G his Q is awesome (appart from the bug making unstoppable stoppable), but you could easily do it like Vi ult where he knocks them up and then slams them down with an animation of an uppercut with his gauntlet then slam down with his sword. His e could split the earth open like Vel'koz can. His w is just a sound effect and as slightly different colour to his sword. His ult makes him shiney, grow a bigger sword and hover (it's really not flying).

As for the abilities W should be his passive working alongside bloodwell, q and e both need changes to make them feel more swordmastery, and his ult basically needs a complete overhaul.

This is just my opinion, and this isn't to say I don't love aatrox, I played him last season both before they nerfed mini-reworked him and after, and he's in a very good spot at the moment. I just want to see some love sent his way and can't wait for the VGU (after Swain and Irelia reworks were so good, this should be a awesome).

I recently picked him up, got a skin perminant and then a shard so unlocked them, thought it'd give him ago. I enjoyed playing him even if I was doing badly. I didn't even know what to build just just built lifesteal (I looked after, why are people building Trinity? always get confused when manaless champs build mana items).

Anyway, I'm not sure where they can take him however, a redesign in model would be nice and just making the rest of his kit more satisfying.

Oh that 'Voyboy' bug, I had that recently. I wanted the game back to try and work out what stopped me from completing my dash, couldn't work it out, seeing it there confirmed it as that.
