Ideas for Aatrox

Hello,

As we all know, Aatrox is in a pretty dire situation, this champion is garbage tier and Riot doesn't plan on updating him anytime soon.

So here's my suggestions for a possible update to Aatrox:

Q- The cost only happens when Aatrox does not hit any enemy, and increase the range. Explanation : The fact that his Q makes him lose more damage than he does is ridiculous, given that it's not even that good of a CC, being just 1 second. And it got a pretty bad range on top of it.

W- Fuse both parts : Every 3 AA steals health from the enemy. Maybe tune down a bit the healing so it won't become broken Explanation : Pretty self explanatory, who even thought of separating those two parts, and why did he even consider the attack part costing him health ???????????

E- Remove the AP scaling and increase the AD scaling (from bonus to total AD maybe) Explanation : AD Aatrox is already garbage, I won't even try to qualify AP Aatrox. And no point in telling me "Yeah but 25% of the Aatrox players go AP" because that would mean 1 player goes AP, given that there are only 4 Aatrox players due to his grabagery.

R- Remove the AP scaling (Useless one anyway), give him some armor and resistance. Explanation : AP was useless, armor and resistance to actually make him able to survive stuff when fighting. We're talking about 30/40/50 or even less, not 100+ like Jax, he just needs a bit to not be as squishy as he is.

What do you think of these changes ?

He'll likely be in the next patch of reworks after they do Warwick & Galio. Probably won't be for quite a while though, maybe even a full year. Expect him to be trash for all of season 7. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will be a bit quicker but I wouldn't hold my breath.

These are lazy bandaid changes that probably wouldn't help his core gameplay issues in the long run.

If I were to change him, I would do this:

Have his passive knock everyone close to him away after he revives. Increase Q epicenter radius Make E shred 10/15/20/25/30% of the enemy's armor for the slow duration. Make his ultimate cleanse CC upon activation and create a short AoE fear for anyone damaged by it.

If it makes you feel better, Riot wanted to have Aatrox updated with the Diver rework, but after the unhealthiness of his gameplay. I WANT (doesn't mean they can) to do a mini rework to see if they can improve him. Although I havent' heard what they were doing. I do want to see what happens since I am a rank 7 70k points Aatrox. I do hope they save our God of War
