Aatrox doesn't need a rework even. His kit is fine and functional.

Rework actual cancer that gives 0 interaction like Teemo, Heimer, Gnar, Pantheon.

no. he's an outdated point and click champ.

AirKingNeo7 votes

champion has 2 skillshots

how is that point and click

Malicious Metal2 votes

Because these two "Skillshots" aren't actually all that important to Aatrox's success. Tryndamere also has a Skillshot, yet he's a full on right click disaster.

AirKingNeo7 votes

yeah because aatrox can totally succeed by missing his two ways to stick to targets

Trynd doesn't have a skillshot, he is a skillshot.

still boring and outdated lol

I don't find him boring. He's just so weak that it's boring to auto lose while playing him.

he's sitting at a roughly 53% winrate atm. sounds to me like you just suck.

AirKingNeo3 votes

but he has a sub 5% pickrate so it doesn't matter what his winrate is

If every champ was played equally often, the average pick rate would be about 7-8% I reckon. So at 5% he’s lower than random chance but still not terrible. 1 out of every 20 games has an Aatrox.

He's not weak atm. Not with the Tianshi build (RIP next patch tho).

jump onto person click on him, maybe press R click on him until he dies

how do you not find that boring

because I have to play around by W.

clarify please. aatrox is mind numbingly simple. and, by extension, boring.

he has literally nothing unique in his kit.

Definitly need :

  • they're no reason to pick him over other
  • he need an update to stay in the race (when new champs look as Irelia and Camille... kit wise)

Dosn't mean Aatrox dosn't deserve love.

AirKingNeo2 votes

problem is they're going to fuck up and change everything cool about him

new sword looks ass

Sun Wu Ryuumoku2 votes

can't argue about your taste. But most of their recent rework were successful. The only thing who scare me is his voice and lines.

GayFluffyUnicorn1 votes

If it's true they are turning him into a juggernaut then fuck that rework. All their reworks have been mostly shit apart from maybe irelia, gp, poppy. But what's the point of reworks then if they just get nerfed to the ground anyways.

He's been a lot better since runes reforged, but he's still not in a great spot and his kit is completely outdated and doesn't even work in some places (e.g Q "unstoppable" stopped by everything).

Aatrox has needed a rework for over 2 years, and finally he's getting it. Those 4 get played and have counters. They might be cancer, but in a game with Zoe they barely scratch the surface #aspect of cancer xD

No disrespect, in my opinion, this is not true at all.

The reason he's known as the worst champ in league is because he's in a role where there are many champions that fill the same spot, that do all things he's supposed to do, a ton better than him.

His knockup range is bad, his poke is so small, hard to land, only good thing is that it has is a good slow, with a passive that a portion of the people who play Aatrox still can't wrap their heads around. He's either completely useless, feeding and costing games, to either snowballing so hard and 0 to 180ing everyone without a single shred of counterplay. Even for an Auto-attack based top-laner for his niche, why pick Aatrox when Tryndamere can fulfill the exact same job, but even better. He's just someone who has an interesting character model and design with being the first darkin, but his gameplay just feels so lackluster. Though this is just from my point of view, if you wish to rebuttal, I would love to listen! :)

Hope the rework makes people want to ban him instead of Irelia.

theyre literally only changing the sword to match his new abilities. at least thats what they said.

might still update for a higher resolution model though, but this is just speculation on my part.

M00ndanc33 votes

Actually a while back they said his current model and some of his looks didn't give the feeling they wanted and decided to do a full vgu instead of just a gu. Though it is a minor one in terms of over all visual changes it is suppose to come with an awesome voice over.

Aatrox doesnt get a VGU, he will still look the same, only his gameplay will change a little bit.

Raid Boss Morde3 votes

They already confirmed that he's getting a full VGU. He's getting a new model, animations, voice over, new kit, and splash arts

TheCodeisCupCake1 votes

His voice is so boring IMO, 'they will greet you as heroes', ok?

Can't wait too. Honestly who care about new champ ??? Rework >> new champ.

I hope they leave at least his sustain part

Aatrox def does not need a rework he is strong as is rn even with the other champs and kits. He is not a brain dead champ like garen or ashe, look at his skill rating. Aatrox can easily carry a game if u play him decently and know how to use him. a rework could be used on someone else that actually needs it like Olaf Gragas
