@Riot: If you want to rework Aatrox, give him Sion's old ult.

"Grants Sion 50 / 75 / 100 % lifesteal and 50% attack speed for 20 seconds. Additionally, Sion's attacks heal surrounding allies for 25 / 37.5 / 50 % of damage dealt."

It's not exactly original, but remember how the community wanted Aatrox to be kind of like an AD support that would cause his team to keep fighting when he was in the middle of the fray?

Well, nothing says "Keep fighting no matter what" like having Aatrox spreading the love of bloodshed to his team.

AATROX MAINS DON'T WANT THIS ULTIMATE

These boards complain shit about champions being ruined with reworks and mains being disrespected, but throws the same shit back at people by saying Aatrox needs to be what they want, not what the people playing him do.

I mean, that's the point of this thread.

If you don't like my suggestion, I can respect that and I'm interested on hearing what would be better ideas from people with far more experience with Aatrox than I.

The last thing I want is another Sion, Galio and Karma.

People happen to like Aatrox as he is, just change his passive and buff his numbers and items.

Big LincolnJun 28, 20171 votes

isn't he getting 'the biggest non-VGU rework' riot's ever done?

AirKingNeoJun 29, 20172 votes

Hey I have no idea. People just like current Aatrox (except the passive) and want them to build on that.

Big LincolnJun 29, 20171 votes

i like the champ but his kit's really boring for me

all i really want from the rework is to feel like an unkillable war god. if they can do that i might even accept that he probably won't be a juggernaut ubermensch

I don't know what community wanted, but exactly this is in his current lore. That when Aatrox was on battlefield he encourages to fight and made losing side win

OOH have the heal scale with the Ally's Missing HP?

ChompyWulfJun 28, 20171 votes

Loved his lore. Reminded me of Berserk and Nosferatu Zodd tales in that anime. (Though the real Zodd in the show was more like an op blend of Galio and a Minotaur.) This ult would be a good swing toward his lore in play.

DoktorKaiserJun 28, 20173 votes

It fits his lore perfectly and would complement his current kit. Idk why RIOT didnt think of this themselves...

BârdJun 28, 20172 votes

They did, and they threw it out.

Cannibalism was scrapped for a reason.

DoktorKaiserJun 28, 20171 votes

Idk I always liked it even though I saw AD Sion like 50 times even though I played since season 1. I could swear he was the least popular champ by far before his rework.

BârdJun 28, 20171 votes

It was kinda fun, but flawed design.

It's AS and Lifesteal, so he had to build AD, crit, and armor pen to make it useful.

Such a build is lacking in defense, so he has no way of surviving if he can't hit people.

On the flip side, it made him impossible to kill him if he COULD hit people.

DoktorKaiserJun 28, 20172 votes

AHahhahahah I remember. It was probably annoying as fuck, but you know how it is, when you dont face annoying things often, you forget and dont care about them. I bet I wouldnt care about Lee or Yasuo that much if they werent in every goddamn game, but with the situation being as it is they really annoy the fuck out of me and I ban them every game.

Sun Wu RyuumokuJun 28, 20171 votes

His current kit isn't cool, dosn't exploit his them enough (he have a huge potential, he's THE Darkin), and his kit isn't unique enough. And i won't talk about balancing, reliability (his Q spell)...

mhe,not very good

@Riot: If you want to rework Aatrox, don't listen this stupid board but Aatrox mains.

ChompyWulfJun 28, 20171 votes

This idea is excellent, since the current ult is really only a steroid that makes the passive not total garbage. This idea would give the character some flair and team utility, and separate him from being a sucky alternate to Tryndamere.

Sun Wu RyuumokuJun 28, 20171 votes

i didn't say this was a bad idea. What say is to no listen non Aatrox player but Aatrox mains

ChompyWulfJun 28, 20171 votes

Listening only to mains of an underplayed and weak champ isn't a great idea. Hearing what people would like to see on him would boost his overall play, as well as winrate and probable skin and champ purchases.

Sun Wu RyuumokuJun 29, 20171 votes

Don't know... most of time reworked champion are still play by same player base. look at Yorick or Talon yeah at first there many player...

CarteeeerJun 28, 20171 votes

hopefully they get rid of the right click playstyle for him, or atleast make his abilities and autos look cool as fuck

PePsiLemoNNJun 28, 20171 votes

That depends on the rest of his kit :-?

KloqdqJun 28, 20171 votes

I remember that ult on Old sion. Why it was so good is because you could be at 4k hp, and every auto full ad healed you almost to full.

God I miss that ult [zombie-nunu-tears]

EndlessSorcererJun 28, 20171 votes

It only improved once you bought Ravenous Hydra. If you fought the enemy in the middle of their minion wave, you were nigh invincible.

KloqdqJun 28, 20171 votes

Oh god yeah. Hydra then build whatever. I had a 100% winrate with him because no one knew what he did XD. He had god laning phase against any top lane just because after 6 he could sustain through pretty much anything. He got like 50+ ad because fuck it.

Sion's old ultimate was completely broken. The only reason it never got nerfed was because he was a meme that nobody played. It would be completely broken on current Aatrox. That's an ability that shouldn't be in this game.
