Aatrox Ultimate

Alytrox·Apr 11, 2016·2 votes·412 views

When late-game comes, in team fights especially, Aatrox presence is pretty underwhelming... His 3rd rank R, does instantly 400 AOE dmg @ 525 range. My problem is, that, late game, even champions that don't have any MR, still have ~40% damage reduction from basic magic resist, so, this means that to the squishiest champs out there we will deal ~240 dmg, when lowest health pool is around 2k hp.

Basically right now, the damage part of his ult is so small, that i think some of League players have no idea it even exists (most of them think it's just an AS steroid).

My idea would be to give him some true damage instead of magic damage on his ult, but, instead of 200/300/400, should be something like 175/275/400, due to the fact of having a potential to be oppressive early game.

His ulti has 100% ap scaling.If you make his ulti do true dmg.... lets say you have 600 ap you flash in the middle of enemy team Press R and buuum 1000+AOE true dmg to everyone.No thank you...

Who the hell builds AP on him, and has 600AP on Aatrox ? And even if you do this, with that build you would insta-die in 1 sec before even reaching enemy back line.

Please, learn the champ before speaking.

I'm pretty sure Aatrox is somewhere on Riot's rework list already. Like for 2019 or so.

There are some ap aatrox players, but most build off-tank. Anyhow, aatrox ult does feel underwhelming, but I don't think it's the damage portion. When he ults, he's supposed to go on a massacre, slicing the enemy team in half. It currently seems like it's a "press to win trade" button instead. I could see him gaining damage reduction during the duration and a small(~20%) move speed bonus whuile moving towards targets, which fits his fantasy of being an ancient warrior from an almost extinct race, that appears during major battles, dancing through armies like butter. He dances pretty fast with ult now, but I'd say he ignores a bit of damage during the fight.

You can't seriously play ranked with AP Aatrox. Not even in Bronze. I don't ask for complex buffs, because probably soon (c) he will be reworked. I just ask some small compensation buffs until the rework is out, because more and more his winrate plunges down, patch after patch.
