Giving new Aatrox a second chance in a different role

After initially being completely underwhelmed by his kit, (and not necessarily being against his new appearance, but still finding the yelling to take some getting used to) I decided to give him a second chance in the jungle this time. (Having already tried him in every other role)

To be honest, his clear is insane. I went in to bots and went jungle (so our kayn 2v1 Pantheon and Volibear) and told the teemo that had gone bot lane that I wanted to try and solo clear. The results: you clear soooooo fast. It might've been the chrysalis or the resolve primary but omg you barely take damage if done right.

My runes went like this -Aftershock: because you have no innate tank stat buffing ability, but you do have an assload of cc if you can land it. -Font of life: Because you kind of can't peel for your team do to improve his team fighting I took the rune that heals my team every time the enemy gets hit by them while cc'd by me -Chrysalis: because your squishy af early but when building tankier the extra late game damage helps -Overgrowth: Because hp is what you lack (and actual mobility but we're working with what we've got)

Then domination secondary -Taste of blood: because early game flat healing is great when you can hardly land things -Ravenous Hunter: Because why the hell not?

With those he feels somewhat better.... Still his w needs to not be minion blocked and a bit longer and he needs either a longer, or an extra dash, because omg that thing sucks. Plus if he could use just 1 dash while ressurecting he'd feel a bit better too.

Still say his q needs to be faster too, but beyond that I don't completely hate it. Still not actually Aatrox... But if you said this was a new jungler champ and not a rework id say.... Okay, 6.5/10 still clunky needs work

I completely agree with you. I. May not be silver but I'm an Aatrox main and he's my pocket pick. I still have yet to try the rework out and I already know his e needs more range either/or we need to be able to walk at least during his first two q's
