Now that item 3153 and item 3074 got nerfed and with all the cdr and crit items. There has to be some changes and soon lets hope.

  • E make it ad damage and higher ad scaling and on hit armor shred.
  • W (blood thirst) to sth about the heal to be less dependent on ad and life steal.
  • W (blood price) life steal would apply to the damage dealt. (Better scaling or an additional passive ability integrated into his current W.)
  • Q make into a dash with on hit cdr reduction. And only first dash would apply knock up. Consecutive dashes heal some of the cost.
  • Replace revive part of the passive and replace it with sth better. (Pref with some kind of a passive that is more in line with his or. Him being immortal doesn't mean he has to have a revive. Just saying.)
  • R make it more impactful.

Aatrox is actually doing better than he has in a long time. The preseason changes have been overall pretty good for him and his win rate has gone up a bit.

Riot tend to be very careful when it comes to balancing sustain-based champions, they can quickly become oppressive to lane against when their sustain negates any damage they take from tradesAkaliVladimirYorickWarwick. So I would be hesitant to ask for a ton of changes to how his W is currently working while his kit still has some other glaring issues which I think need tackling.

Some fair changes I would be in favour of for Aatrox:

  • Making Q more reliable, it's very easy to interrupt with any form of displacement and he has no effective way to gap close once it's on CD.
  • Increasing E travel time slightly, it's currently effortless to sidestep.
  • Every time he gains a kill or assist while his ultimate is active, it extends the duration by 3 seconds - this would really emphasize his window of power while his ultimate is up, and improve his impact in teamfights - which is currently average-poor.

None of these changes are too drastic or game-breaking but they should increase Aatrox's reliability and make him more worthwhile to pick.

some sort of CD compensation on his Q would be nice
