Aatrox is fixable
So I really like 
. I play him pretty often, and recently I realized the two main things that i think hold him back.
-
His Q is easy to interrupt, and it's him only gap closer. Other champs who have only 1 gap closer aren't able to be cc'd out of their ability (
). This is often times the difference between getting to the back line or getting stopped short by some kind of cc like flay, power fist, or bramble smash. It makes him feel kinda flimsy, and it feels HELLA bad. -
He doesn't get anything from his passive until blood well is full. Before blood well is full you don't get any attack speed, nor your revive passive. I think that this issue is solvable by giving
the attack speed in stages instead of all at once at max blood well.
Yes he's kitable, but that's supposed to be part of the weakness of high damage melee champs. His E is a little lackluster, but not all of his skills need to be superstars. If this was implemented I don't think it would make super broken, because he'd still have weaknesses, but I do think that it would pick him up to being a decent pick that isn't considered troll or especially niche. Please discuss civilly in the comments; I'd love to hear what you guys think about The Darkin Blade.
Thanks for the read! Have a nice day! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
