Why pick aatrox

When you could just run Yasuo/graves with warlords?

Not complaining that either champ is op or so, just asking a question.

Unless you like his theme, like me, there's legit no reason to pick him. He doesn't do anything that some other character couldn't do better. He has no unique niche in this game, as any lane matchup and team composition could always use someone better than him.

On top of this, his kit fights itself tremendously, demanding that he build tank items so he doesn't immediately get blown up in a fight, yet costing him 5-10% of his HP in order to cast his long cooldown, vitally important abilities that are extremely easy to dodge.

Finally, he's just not fun to play whatsoever. His kit doesn't represent his theme at all, and is overall just extremely linear and boring. Something really needs to be changed about him. He's by far the worst champion in League of Legends right now.

Some people play champions for purposes other than strength. One tricks play their champion because they like them, not because they're OP

I see it being a legitimate reason I guess.

Yasuo is said to get fairly important nerfs/changes soon (ง°ل͜°)ง

"Why pick urgot when you could pick literally anyone else" I dunno, probably because they have a toxic kit that is intentionally nerfed so that they don't make the game cancerous to play.

Not really the point. I'm not talking about why to play him, not why he's shit. i'm perfectly aware as to why he's garbage

So like what positives his kit has?

So the best way to describe aatrox is:

A draintank-skirmisher-diver.

pretty obvious the rest.

well warlords with his sub-50% health will give triple heal on top of a strong heal if you're attacking champions, so pretty much at level 6, with full blood pool, both top laners 0/0/0, aatrox with warlords, could probably kill a majority of top laners when best utilizing the right time to blood thirst/blood price (both his W passives) efficiently. i would have thought this was some cheesy ass trolling with this much in-combat sustain thats almost as good as old full-spellvamp vlad

Honestly, no real reason to play Aatrox unless you like him. So the real question is, do you? Cause I already know my answer.

Umm sometimes I pick him to get my team to dodge.
