Question to Aatrox players

I used to play Aatrox, not much anymore because in the current state of the game there's better picks that do everything he can and much more.

Generally, Use your W as a heal when you're under 50% health because the heal doubles there. Also, use it while farming minions ONLY if your blood well is full. If the enemy laner is nowhere to be seen or if you're at full health, use your Damage W to stack up on your passive and increase speed.

If at late game you have enough lifesteal, you can keep fighting and then use the heal mode once you reach about 25% health, then alternate between damage and life steal every 3rd hit so that you stay roughly the same health and output more damage. If the enemy is outdamaging you and your health can't keep up, then keep the lifesteal on.

One more thing, a little trick I used to do is hit a minion twice, turn on damage W, then Q the enemy laner and hit him with the autoattack.

At the end of the day, you just have to make judgement about what's best in what situation.

P.S, go 18-0-12, take the warriors bloodlust keystone and in the other tree take 5 points in Runic Armor.

His W takes some getting use to because it's hard to tell that you've even switched stances. As a beginner just stay in Heal Form unless you need to stack up your well. When it's clear that you need more damage switch to damage form, and if you get into trouble back to Heal.

Bloodthirst when low hp, and Blood-price when high hp.
