AATROX DOESNT NEED REWORK

Notre Dame·Dec 2, 2016·2 votes·996 views

My main is diamond, and I play aatrox all the time. Indeed, he cant beat riven, or olaf, given that players have similar skill level. However, aatrox can beat trundle, poppy, maokai, naut, and all these tanks easily, and this is something riven cant achieve. Not to mention aatrox is very effective in team fights, better than Olaf at least.

I have a feeling that most ppl complaining about aatrox being too weak are bronze, silver, and gold players. I would encourage u to keep practicing, and play aatrox ONLY when ur super ready to carry, and super energized. I have beaten very skillful riven, olaf, and even vayne, Quinn, and teemo in top lane in silver and gold games, so u will be strong if u play a lot, too!

Edit: Lots of people are questioning my rank, and I would say ignore my rank, and focus on my main points. I personally have 5 league accounts, and this one is only one of them.

Edit2: Guys don't forget to upvote the post till its neutral. Thanks: )

I believed you until you posted this. You lost all credibility with this post. It's not like you're Faker who will probably be swamped with friend requests and general sycophancy.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

What u believe is only what u believe - it is not truth. be aware.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

my credibility is mine, and ur loss of faith has nothing to do with my loss of credibility, maybe a little loss at most if any.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE you do.

peace

SukishooDec 2, 20163 votes

See no proof. We all win you lose :)

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

I am willing to lose and let u win, but u cant prove me wrong, can u?

SukishooDec 2, 20162 votes

Already did cause you don't show proof :)

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

its a problem of burden of proof, and I believe for a post like this that I don't benefit from, the burden is on u, not me.

SukishooDec 2, 20163 votes

more excuses kid, lol.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

be respectful. tho I don't agree with u, I am not being offensive.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

as u keep replying to me and accusing me, more ppl r drawn to this topic, and i hope more players gain confidence in Aatrox, and play it the right way.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

is that a must in any way to prove what I posted? trust ur own judgement, not my rank.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

Also I am open to soloing, using aatrox, with anyone ranking from bronze to plat as long as u play a melee champ.

CaythelesDec 2, 20162 votes

Why not go against a ranged champ? too hard for you?

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

plat Quinn or teemo is indeed beyond my ability to beat

CaythelesDec 3, 20161 votes

so you are around the skill level of a gold 1.... so dont downtalk others then.

CaythelesDec 2, 20162 votes

I hope they turn Aatrox into a support. You know... so he has something to fit with hislore? as in Helping his team to glory as basically the god or omen of war.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

he is fighter in the very first place tho

CaythelesDec 3, 20161 votes

So is Braum. however there can be a thing such as Dark supports. i think a support role would be fitting for him lorewise rather than being a Kha'zix with sustain and slower damage.

Sir FuzziDec 2, 20162 votes

Sounds like he's a drain-based tankbuster, then. I just never got the clutch on his sword swap personally, and I think maybe he shouldn't have as many AP ratios-- it might help him feel more consistent.

Dunno about a rework, I kinda think he's okay. Just a tweak or an update.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

i agree. sustain makes aatrox a good counter for most tanks.

Sir FuzziDec 2, 20162 votes

I think tweaks and updates can fix champions with power problems. I think flawed gameplay (IE probably not Aatrox's problem) needs a rework. IMHO I'd call up Mordekaiser and Warwick as necessary reworks as the former has a really strange power fantasy going on and the latter has a really dated style of gameplay that doesn't seem to match his image or what should be his role.

Both could serve to feel a little more aggressive in close range and a little more capable of getting there on their own merits, rather than needing a specific build or situation every time.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

Indeed. WW has very limited play style atm, and not even competitive at his best role as jungler.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

Aatrox, however, is already quite lucky compared to ww. Aatrox can be a good tank, or a fighter, and he has displacement skill, slow, and a very good passive. His ulti is AOE that many champs crave.

BeatzBoyFTWDec 2, 20162 votes

My main is diamond

No one cares if you're not humble enough in showing proof, while you still has the nerves to call out that only Bronze, Silver & Gold complains about Aatrox. This is just plain irony.

If you're not lying a single bit about it, then should have just continued posting on THAT account instead. Like XelNiya said, this post lost all its credibility due to your dishonesty.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

I never said only silver, gold, and bronze players complain. be careful when u read. I said most.

BeatzBoyFTWDec 2, 20162 votes

You're still calling out a majority to these specific elos only. Like at what rights do you think you can still call that when you do not want to post on your "Most Aatrox Played" account? Considering the fact that:

Your current account barely plays Aatrox.
You never gave out ACTUAL tips & facts besides the blank "I can beat these, so can you" crap.
He has low playrates in all elo besdies the 3 you mentioned, showing that even higher elos have the same opinion about wanting Aatrox to get a rework.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

i never claim that what i am saying is fact. its only my personal opinion. u have the right to disagree.

EVG MikeDec 2, 20161 votes

If riot balanced based based on the opinions of silver players skillshots would not exist. That being said, the reason aatrox is being reworked is because his abilities make no sense, his health costs for them make less sense, his entire kit has no clear direction and no defined strengths, and his biggest flaw is that he has no place in the game because everything he could possibly do, another champion can do better.

Aatrox is actually so bad that I spent 10 minutes trying to describe how bad he is, and realized that he just doesnt have any redeeming qualities. He isnt even fun to play while being terrible.

Notre DameDec 2, 20161 votes

I agree that aatrox is not above the curve, but i cant agree that aatrox is not unique, and doesn't have a place in game. U may have had bad experience playing him. I did too, but once i learned all the animation cancellation, and hit and move tricks, and developed my own key bindings, i saw the true power of the champion

EVG MikeDec 2, 20161 votes

And comments like that is why rito doesnt leave balance in the hands of opinionated silver players.
