Why does Aatrox only have 2 charges for Umbral Dash?

BLIGHTBRINGER··9 votes·5,411 views

Looking at Q and how you need to use both Q and E to ensure that you're going to land it it makes me wonder shouldn't there be 3 charges instead of two?

Or at the very least he would need a lower cooldown for his E active, considering his other abilities also have a long cooldown of 16 to 20 seconds.

Personally I would of prefered something like this...

###E: Umbral Dash

  • Cooldown: N/A
  • Recharge Time: 3 / 2.5 / 2 / 1.5 / 1 Second/s
  • Charges: 3

So the reasoning behind these proposed changes of mine is that, I don't see the reason behind having a such a massive cooldown of 20 seconds for an ability that isn't that impactful. Since it only grants bonus Attack Damage for 1.5 seconds, and dashes the lowest distance in the game.

###What does everyone else think?

The ability already feels really lackluster on it's own.

The range is shorter than my penis and my self-esteem combined and even I last longer than the damage it gives.

I wouldn't mind it getting an extra charge.

Don't think about the size of it. Focus on how well you can use what little you have.

you must practice so that you can achieve the power fantasy.

I am lacking words on how much i love this style of satire.

Probably because it would make his Q too reliable. That's my guess.

This ability is only here because Rito absolutly wants to give a dash to everyone in this game. Soon even Annie will have a dash

Its for aiming Q and going over walls. Just be happy he is not hypermobile.

I would think that once you land one knock up with his Q then you don't need to keep repositioning until they do. And until they do that you just keep laying down the hurt.

Recharge time, as in, how long it takes to get a charge? And you want it to be 1 second long at max rank?

It would basically be the pre-reverted Rengar Q of a dash.

Clearly, very effective for mobility. Almost like you lost distance by using it instead of walking with boots. Upside is this can go over a wall every second though then, which is absolutely not balanced.

the AD should also have a bonus AD ratio. 15 early game for 1 ability is meh, but 55 late game for 1 ability sucks.

I like your suggestion, it makes sense and it seems cool.

yeah that's what i was thinking but I think 1 sec cd on max is kinda op. I'd Prefer this:

E: Umbral Dash Cooldown: N/A Recharge Time: 5 / 4/ 3 / 2.5/2 Second/s or maybe 4/3.5/3/2.5/2 Seconds Charges: 3
