When I'm top I'm 90% aatrox but damn, they f him good ...what is that? first it was passive that took a huge hit(fast charging fast discharging) ...could rely on passive anymore, now? ...this is not aatrox, this is a useless "new" champ, sorry

The new one can be great to play, but... For me the qspell is TOO SLOW ! Even if I was feed, couldn't do an 1v2.. because of this slow qspell. Second, I think cd are high. But it's just my point of view.

Old better af new one is mainstream (( riven v2 )) nothing new just a new bad design...

I feel it is an improvement, it will take tweaking i'm sure but in the long run i think it was good for him just because there is now outplay potential in his kit not auto to win bs like Tyndamere and Yi.

He is like a forced jungler now, a child of yasuo and riven, mediocre af. As old one i was able to 3v1 a yasuo but now i cant even 1v1 him, basically any champion can dodge your Q waaaay too easily to render it useless because the range is just too great.... Aatrox is now a team champion which means he provides CC for the team + has some abilities to chase enemies(therefore jungle potential) but dueling capabilities the old aatrox had? Completely gone...

I remember when I could easily destroy a yi 1v1 and yas could only kill aatrox by kiting

Personally speaking I loved the old Aatrox he wasn't special or anything just fun to play. The new Aatrox just seems to be in a weird position. He is like riven and Katarina combined, you emphasize on your opponents mistakes of not paying attention and staying in the edge of your q. He isn't good at melee or ranged. He doesn't have any real gap closer besides his "Dash" of his e which is very little distance. I believe that the rework was a good idea in concept but on the wrong champion. Aatrox is suppose to be a character of war, he is suppose to get close and personal. This new Aatrox not only benefits but is the only way to dish out major damage is staying a bit away from the enemy. The new w is a great but they q and e just don't feel like Aatrox. Either riot should revert his old q back and change his e or make his e gap closer better and change out the q for a more close ability. For example they could make his q a little spin move where he swings his sword around like Yasuo when he dashes. When I'm playing Aatrox I'm not looking for someone that wants to stay away from champions to cause damage I'm looking for some blood thirsty, blood boiling, and death loving champion. Which is what the old Aatrox did, he got close and personal. Now I just feel like I'm playing a coward that only goes in when he would most benefits. If i wanted to be like that I would play Katarina and Riven.

For his abilities some ideas that could work and fit Aatrox. 1: Changing one of his abilities to a roar that taunts enemies. Like Warwick's e but taunts instead of fears. 2: Changing his q to some sort of more personal and closer attack range. like changing it into a form of yasuo's spin when he dashes and q or Xin zhao's q where Aatrox would swing his swing in an arc infront of him then slam his sword down in the middle stunning or slowing anyone in the middle of it. 3: change his e to a bigger range but instead you chose the distance you dash. For example 2 Teemos of range.

I am not any expert and I have no idea how this would actually be like in real games this is just my idea of what Aatrox could be like. Aatrox did deserve a rework I just feel like this isn't the kind of style Aatrox should be. I'm also not any form of Aatrox i just took him under my roster to play in the jungle when I saw how powerful he can be. You can do what ever you want with this ignore it, hate it, or report it I truly don't care this is just my idea don't take it to heart.

New aatrox is 100% TRASH.. they ruined him by ganking crap spells from others champs.. horrible rework.. ruined one of my favorite old school champs.. will never choose him again.

This is the most dissapointing rework ever. I was so hyped for the new Aatrox rework, but he is totally flipping useless in early, u can only hit your Q in team fights when nobody notice you cuz u are that much of a useless champion. Why the hell his ultimate give such insane boost to movement speed OUT OF COMBAT? U have literaly nothing to chase enemies, this E sucks that much that if any champion hugs you and AA you, you can't get far enough to use Q with knock up and his attack speed is also a joke. So we basicly have a champion that is melee and can't duel melee champions cuz of his Q range and can't duel ranged cuz he got no flipping range on his autos, no movement speed that can help you stick to your target. Even if he had ability to stick to enemies they will outrun you anyway cuz of his Q cast time and E cooldown... This game goes so much downhill that i am going to leave it untill they reconsider it.

this is reallly weak. q spells are slow, w has no damage, e is useless smaller dash then lucian -_- easy to counter, easy to dodge even 10/0/0 he can't 1v1 anything.

I dunno i like new aatrox was able to win a 1v4 with his. He needs tweaking but overall I say he's better then the old aatrox once you get good and learn to land your q by repositioning with your dash, it takes time to get used to but i think it's worth it because his damage is insane. for real late game you can be dealing over 2000 damage when hitting all 3 q's, whilst still remaing reasonably tanky. Once again i think he's overall better then old aatrox because he feels like he has a more clear purpose in the game now. (Although i will always remember old aatrox)

This should have just been a new champion it could have been a darkin with a war hammer

The Q is ridiculous if you manage to hit someone great (good luck bud) even with your E it is still hard. If the E had no cool down for both bursts at least you can close gaps and he would have better mobility allowing for the Q to be more useful. Even then then the animation gives it away and is easy to dodge. Blood well I actually liked his old passive on his w and yes it was op with titanic hydra and rage blade but at least he could do some damage. He is like a riven with no mobility and horrible crowd control. Aatrox is known for his ability to stay in lane but with the update he feels out of sink and slow his kit is hard to land anything. At least as riven you have mobility and if you land one you can land most if not all of her abilities. If Aatrox is supposed to be a combination type attack then it's pretty laughable compared to his old auto-attack where it was easier to lane. His old w was a life saver and this one seriously anyone can escape and when I say anyone I mean everyone. All you have to do to get out of Aatrox's w is walk to the side that easy not dash, or flash, WALK. His kit becomes more useless as the game progresses in early game he is good but you have to snowball in order to even win late game or even have a decent mid game. However his ult is a lot better basically a free guardian angel and can be a distraction in team fights and turret dives. The thing that bothers me most is that he doesn't even resemble the old Aatrox and I am an Aatrox main so it disappoints me to see such a swing and a miss on this rework. Bring the old W back and fix the Q and if you land the W even if they escape his w a slow could be useful but, tbh Idk if it's even worth trying to use this rework. He isn't worth playing anymore because almost every champ has better kits and laning.
