Aatrox rework

Mizuno·Mar 8, 2017·3 votes·1,396 views

Here's what I don't like about the Aatrox rework: his passive. The problem is that bloodwell stacks decay quite rapidly and the revive portion only works when Aatrox is in bloodrush form (which only lasts 4 seconds). That makes the revive portion of his passive pretty hard to use. Also, the bloodwell stacks can be tricky to accumulate (long cd of q and e which are skill shots, w dmg proc every 3rd aa). I know that when he fights champions, bloodrush is constantly refreshed, but getting kited will negate his ability to keep bloodrush active (which will decay 4 seconds later) and Aatrox won't be able to revive. I would like Riot to change his passive in the following way: either make his bloodwell stacks permanent/accumulable (a bit like Rengar) or make the revive portion available at all times (without the need of bloodrush active and when off cd of course).

The whole point of making Blood Rush a thing is so that they can pack more bullshit into his abilities instead of focusing all his power into his ability to not die.

What about Zac and Anivia then

Zac and Anivia have counterplay to their revival, i. e. kill blobs/egg, waste passive. Aatrox is just "wait for him to recover and hope he doesn't have the tools to gtfo or demolish face"

ok that makes since then... so for Zac and anivia u can take em out before they get the revive, but for Aatrox, u have to make it difficult for him to get the revive... its balance I guess

could u also post ur comment here?

dude read the ability if he takes damage the blood rush is refreshed as well not just dealing damage also receiving.

I said ''when he fights champions'' which implies dealing/taking dmg in a duel. Still my point is that you can get kited by slows/stuns without taking dmg and his passive becomes useless...
