The problem with AATROX by an aatrox main

Lost Without You··2 votes·1,252 views

Aatrox Hello everyone, I am an AATROX MAIN, yeah we do exist! I would like to make some comments about AAtrox as a champion. There are couple of good parts about AATROX

  1. The crazy laning sustain
  2. crazy solo kill laning opponent potential(8/10 games i can solo kill my oppo)
  3. the Mechaatrox skin looks cool. The PROBLEM WITH THIS CHAMP
  4. mobility is bad, compare his Q will Tryndamere's E, aatrox's Q just looks sadly and wayyy too slow. and it can be knocked up while in midair(i know u guys are fixing it). There is also a bug of not being able to knock up and a one that Q cancel's itself near some wall (within the Q range)
  5. the Passive(revive part)..... unlike Trandamere's R which prevent u from death and also do damage, the aatrox revive passive in a teamfight is almost useless. if u build damage a lot of the time it will be hard to start a team fight....(dive in, oh i kocked up the adc, but i am dead or i am reviving, revived!!! dies again in 1.47534753 s) Build tank? (In what why can Aatrox peel or protect? or CC?)
  6. The problem with aatrox is that he is stuck between a tank and fighter... He has less mobility than most fighters and less CC or peeling power than tanks.......
  7. AAtrox is typically the dominating in lane but super bad at team fight kind of champ. Please RITO.......Give him a fair rework or buff! Aatrox

As an 'Aatrox main' you've gotten a lot of things wrong in your post.

Regarding your 'pros':

  1. His sustain isn't a good as it used to be. It's still fairly good but nowhere near the levels of strong healers like vlad, darius or fiora when they meet their healing conditions. His sustain shines most when he is allowed to sustain on an entire wave of creeps - in which case he loses the opportunity to stack for passive and for the most part, this never happens unless you're stomping lane.
  2. He has good laning potential and trades it off for being not the most obnoxious champion even when ahead. He has 1 and a half ways to stick on targets and is limited by being completely reliant on auto attacks.
  3. Mecha Aatrox is THE WORST SKIN for Aatrox. It's 1.3k rp but feels like a 975 rp skin. It has cheap effects, the in game model looks nothing like the splash art, most of the animations aren't even good and the only thing it has going for it is the sound effects on the W alongside the green/orange colour swap which makes it much easier to differentiate which W you have equipped even in a messy teamfight.

Regarding your 'cons':

  1. Q can be a bit buggy at times but it's still a mini malphite ultimate. It has better potential than tryndamere's E and is much more diver esque than a spin away move. The cooldown has been significantly reduced too in a prior patch which makes it much more reliable not to mention the new unstoppable buff on it.
  2. The passive is out of place on Aatrox's kit but it still fairly effective. It becomes much more reliable during the later stages where it's up almost every fight but it lacks cohesion with Aatrox's kit as it relies on him using his spells to stack it up or somehow being allowed to W an entire wave to charge it up.
  3. The problem with Aatrox is he is 'old' and 'boring' to a lot of people. He's in a pretty good spot right now and can easily win you games if you know what you're doing.
  4. The rework is coming so just wait and see.

so wtf is ur point? If it is denying everything about my idea, u have done the job properly, for ppl who cant event stack to get his passive, i have nothing to say.... have fun! u obviously r not passionate enough about this champ...Q is malphite's small ult? Can he Q flash then? can Malphite be stopped while casting R?

My point? My point is that for an 'Aatrox main' you don't know jack crap about your champion. You have no idea how Aatrox was pre-rework or after and make up annoying exaggerations on both his pros and cons that affect what others will think of the champion before personally taking it upon themselves to figure it out for themselves. You make bad comparisons in hopes of getting an overbuff to a champion because he doesn't have abilities much better suited for a skirmisher than a diver. You make some false assumption that it's the champion's fault instead of your own that he is not good enough because he doesn't have all the pros of his primary and secondary class. Overall, your post carried very little real evidence or information and proceeded to whine for buffs.

If you looked at my post (despite the obvious shitposting for the mecha skin) I gave you relevant information that gave you context and reasoning behind why Aatrox is strong in some areas and weak in others.

tl;dr - you don't know your champion as well as you think you do so stop whining for buffs (when they just buffed him) or a rework (when we know there's one already on its way).

I also think Aatrox passive when he cannot be targeted and drinks his bloodwell to heal for 3 seconds and he does not move from that spot that's when Aatrox should be invulnerable and and cannot be targeted
and while his bloodwell is healing him to half health or around 75% health capacity or depends on his blood pool capacity guage aatrox can still cast spells and can move unstoppable for 3 seconds but aatrox can only cast spells if its not on cooldown and Aatrox "cannot auto attack "while drinking bloodwell but he heals and can only move and cast spells instead of aatrox just drinking blood well and cannot move for 3 seconds Aatrox should have movement and can only cast his spells but cannot auto attack while drinking bloodwell karthus has 7 seconds but he can cast but cannot move so if aatrox moved for 7 seconds but "can"auto attack it be too much for overpowered and cooldown invulnerable advantage against all 5 champions or 4 but his power should be his gift everyone is different we all have different bone shapes and size and cannot be in the same exact size or shape so we smart humans work out exercises differently on our muscles but we have the same technique in lifting weights correctly.

Its best that Aatrox is trying to protect his passive from not activating when it should activate regardless as his gift and this is better because the rework is like you have to activate your passive with stacks that drop when aatrox does not want to activate his passive he should want to protect his passive from activating to be on cooldown causing aatrox to get stacks to activate should not be even a passive to activate his passive should activate regardless I think.Aatrox
