Aatrox buffs ideas.

InsaneOstrich·Mar 12, 2016·8 votes·2,023 views

I'm a Aatrox main and honestly I'm tired of losing and hearing people say "oh he's not good" or "you should never play him".

Is there any news about a rework, update or a buff anytime soon? He's been out for about 2 years now and I feel like he's is due one.

The ideas I have is you can change his R into something more unique.

Or how about you change his Q or Jump to not be enterupted while he's jumping cause it's annoying. Every time I die cause a gank I'm stuck there while the other team stands around waiting for me to come back. When I do come back thanks to my passive I try to jump and it just stops me in mid air cause of all the crowd control.

Or hell at least buff up his E so the poke does more damage. It doesnt feel like it does any damage.

Just something.... I love this champ.

I love Aatrox and I agree he needs some sort of buff. I like his R so I'd hate to see it changed and I like kit very much.

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

His r would be better if it scaled with Attack damage.

My Sea CowMar 12, 20161 votes

That may make him way too strong though. I am horrible at coming up with ideas. If ahead a goo Aatrox player can destroy but a careless one feeds badly.

I played against one the other day. I killed him 6 times in lane before his tower went down. (Passive popped 3 times) maybe some more health or armor early on? Or maybe even have his R give a 1 second fear? I mean he's supposed to be a super scary warrior god after all

Aatrox isn't that bad and doesn't really need buffs. He basically ruins the game when he's strong, so he'll need to wait in line for a few years for a rework.

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20164 votes

How I wish that was true though

KetiMar 12, 20161 votes

His winrates are not that low, below average but not Terrible

Dunkrius2gMar 12, 20162 votes

He needs some buffs to make him okay until they rework him. He just suffered too much from the nerfs.

Make him invulnerable when he Q.

Increase health.

Fix his E. It is too hard to hit.

Reduce health costs on his W when he damages.

Remove health costs when he uses E.

OR if he uses his Q and E which is 10% maximum health and 5% of 90% max health, if he manages to hit a target, he gains 50% damage back as health. So if he has 3000 health and used Q, he loses 300 health and he gains back 150 health.

Make his R have no cast time.

Increase scaling on his Q or E or give him some ad scaling on his ult.

There are so many things riot can do to band-aid him atm but where he is right now and how Riot is considering him right now, he will probably get a rework.

TheImpLordMar 12, 20161 votes

Dude you get he needs to spend HP to fill blood well so any removed cost will make his life harder in the fact he won't get attack SPD from full blood well fast enough in lane or fast skirmishes with out a perfect ult not even mentioning his rev HP.

TwinDenisMar 12, 20162 votes

He is one of those champions that need to get reaaaaally ahead to actually do something in game, very out of thegame, very squishy when dealing damage and very weak when building tank/warrior. He was great and now uber nerfed, they nerfed his only strength, he was op now the opposite. They said they will look into it ~~someday~~ soon.

CrettMar 12, 20161 votes

His R doesn't feel very good as an ability. It looks cool, but late-game it really doesn't mean a lot, because the burst is much less impactful.

I think what Aatrox needs is some more innate damage or tankiness in his kit to encourage him to build one way or the other rather than forcing him to buy 50 different stats in order to function.

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

It would be better if his burst scaled with attack damage. But yeah you're right It requires a hybrid build that there isn't much of.

CrettMar 12, 20161 votes

I've seen SOME Aatrox builds actually succeed with these items early on. item 3071 item 3053 It DOES cover his weakness to burst and his innate attack speed can be used more effectively... but he still definitely needs changes

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

The builds are good but the thin is you're giving up life steal for tank.

CrettMar 12, 20161 votes

His W's healing scales with AD! One thing I liked about the build is it gave a bit more meaning to which W toggle you should use instead of just keeping the damage toggle on for champs

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

Yeah but half of his things scale with ap. his ult does and it's pretty dumb.

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

It's only a attack speed boost with 500 damage burst.

TheImpLordMar 12, 20161 votes

Dude Some fighter ults seem to be that way were they scale with ap instead of ad cause all ad scaldings would be broken. Comes from a panth main who also enjoys a bit of aatrox on the side.

Troll for TrumpMar 12, 20161 votes

Y the Black Cleaver though?

CrettMar 12, 20161 votes

AD, health, CDR, armor shred It all works pretty well for his pattern. Gives him some damage and extra healing via W and the health helps keep him alive to do more damage

He feels like he wants attack speed early on, but try BC on him. If he can last long enough, his passive and ult AS are all he needs

StonemperorMar 12, 20161 votes

He definitely needs something, there's nothing that makes me happier than playing against an aatrox

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

Yeah that's that is what I'm talking about. If you're looking forward to fighting a champion that's a bad sign he's underpowered.

KANYE OBAMA GODMar 12, 20161 votes

The problem with Aatrox is he's so hard to balanced due to him being a walking stat check. He's got the same problems as Vlad does right now where it's just http://imgur.com/y19Qo88 (Amazing chart by me :^) )

If a champion can follow this flow-chart and that's literally the only thing they can basically do, changes are needed.

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

First of all good chart. But most of the time they keep you from your wave so you can't farm. Or heal unless your under turrent so you become under leveled due to his messed up kit atm.

Sneakyy XDMar 12, 20161 votes

He needs a complete overhaul. I don't even know what Riot was going for with his design in the first place. Tryndamere and Yi already fill whatever role he would and/or could fill.

And then with Fiora's rework, he got pushed out even more.

InsaneOstrichMar 12, 20161 votes

I'm just hoping to God riot actually does something.

FantasySniperMar 12, 20161 votes

A fear on his ultimate and/or an aura buff.

Self-damage past his Blood Well cap is refunded as a blood shield that rapidly decays.

9L9L9L9L9L9L9LMar 12, 20161 votes

He needs AD Ratios and cooldown buffs

Blackstone01Mar 12, 20161 votes

Give him Sion's old ult. BAM buffed and matches his lore. Kind of. At least more than his current ult.

La BarbotteMar 12, 20161 votes

sadly Aatrox wont be allowed to be good by riot for the same reason tryndamere isnt, his kit is unhealthy so evertime his play rate will rise, he will get nerfed, what he needs is a rework.

FriusMar 12, 20161 votes

Blood Well Passive Attack Speed changed to 30/35/40/45/50/55% (upgrades every 3 champion levels) (from 50% flat) Blades of Torment Damage reduced to 75/110/145/180/215 (from 75/120/165/210/255)

RIP building very tanky while still outputting considerable DPS, so we're lowering some of Aatrox’s innate damage. With this change, Aatrox must build items for damage and won’t be able to simultaneously tank and smash face as easily.

whahet the fu ck? smash face ROFLMAO.

Knight SoIaire Mar 12, 20161 votes

dovnvoted ... because aatrox needs some redesigning to do

his kit doesnt match his theme barelt at all not to mention that its toxic at its core (either you can kill me cause im healing to fast or i cant heal cause im dying too fast)
