Any chance to fix Aatrox with new Rageblade?

Aatrox is feast or famine with simply because 1 simple out of sync "W" swing will either allow Aatrox to be a power house or destroy his kit.

The glitch is there and is a real thing... an unflavorful stack will continually skip Attrox on third proc making "W" useless, losing any hope of winning a fight and simply breaks character. Now this does not happen all the time, when the odds are in your favor, Aatrox "W" on every other attack is quick strong and very useful.

Care to explain a possible fix for the Rageblade or Aatrox with this item interaction?

The bug has been present on Devourer as well, really annoying.

If you build that effect playing Aatrox becomes a gamble. When it works you can increase your healing by a lot, but when it fails it disables your healing completely.

If they fix it to where the rageblade wont proc Vayne w on every other auto.. it's impossible to kill her mid game as she 3 shots the mages, 4 shots the tanks, all while staying healthy.. can't stun her either with cc thanks to the cc breaker and it's subsequent immunity afterwards either..

item 3022 item 3074 item 3812 Been using these now days.

Just sad that Rageblade is ment for Auto-attack champions, and yet one of the biggest most dependent auto-attack champion can't even use it effectively due to a glitch....

I never understood why people are complaining about a VISUAL GLITCH.

I have tested it countless times in custom and "real" games (old Sated and new Guinsoo). Even when the animation doesn't play, Aatrox will still proc his W every 2 AA instead of 3.

Try in custom and you will see.

Best way to describe what is happening....

Either the Phantom hit and the Third Hit of W are timed together: Which phantom and attrox will preform the damaged heal / damage. This will allow Aatrox to proc W on every other auto. --Great!

Else the Phantom hit and the Third hit of W are not in synced: Which phantom strike will play its animation skipping the magical 3rd Aatrox attack. --Bad :(

Think of it like:

AA - AA - Blood Price (Phantom + AA) = 2 Blood Price. Syned AA - (Phantom + AA) = Skips Blood Price, because Phantom will make Aatrox's W counter never hit 3. It will always start at 2 stacks, then reset to 1 at the end. 2 - skip 3 - reset to 1 - AA(back at 2 - skip 3 - reset to 1

Either way, the glitch is real and purely based on how Aatrox W counter works in conjunction with how it times up the stacking of Rageblade (6). If it times right, awesome! If not, Aatrox just made this W worthless (Really as in it will not proc at all) And when your champion's kit is based all around W... welp.
