Can Riot give Aatrox the buffs he needs this time around
Everything I find wrong with Aatrox's kit...
Passive:
- is never there, feels like you don't have a passive.
- blatantly obvious when it comes up.
- Drains so fast.... Why can't it be like Mordekaisers shield? Or like it used to. Or why can't it stay active on minions. He honestly wouldn't be broken from that.
- Why did they make it just a boring attack speed steroid? That's already what his R does...
- More than half the time your revive lets them prepare themselves around him so they can burst him right after he becomes targetable. (explosion that did damage would prevent people from camping your corpse Or get a larger heal the more enemies there are around him)
- The heal is bad, why does Anivia get her entire health bar + resistences? Even Volibear isn't self cc'd and has a chance to kill his opponent before they get away.
Q:
- is slow.
- is interupted
- has a enormous cooldown
- does almost zero damage.
- is very difficult to land.
W:
- Heal is really weak.
- heal Doesn't contribute to stacking his passive
- Toggled on, Damage is very weak.
- Takes so long to stack your passive as soon as you get it you are dead or the fight is over and you didn't get to make use of it.
E:
- Is very slow moving
- Is very hard to land
- Really long cooldown
- Doesn't do magic damage anymore. So anyone can just stack armor and you will be unable to trade.
- Really long animation that ruins any chance of being useful to escape or chase.
R:
- Is boring.
- only gives 60% attack speed at max rank (same amount on xin xhaos W mind you) Arguably Aatrox's R isn't much better than Xin Xhao's W.
- Doesn't give him an AOE heal for enemies hit or an increased health pool. Making it inferior to Renektons and Nasus R's
Aatrox's kit promotes what exactly??? Is he a duelist? Is he a bruiser? Is he a teamfighter? Is he a splitpusher? Is he a safe laner with sustain? His own kit counters itself. It promotes different things that don't support each other.
How would I fix him.
I would massively change him.
Passive: The same attack speed steroid, but with an effect upon revive. Just something that punishes people for camping on top of your corpse.
1 of 2 things 1: While untargetable he drains the health of the enemies around him until full health, they die, or leave the area of effect.
2: Deal an explosion of damage upon reviving, that heals Aatrox for the amount of enemies hit, and slowing them.
Passive bar is active is all the time to different degrees, like tryndamere, Gnar, and Mordekaiser.
Q: Is an Auto attack reset that deals bonus damage based on enemies missing health.
W: Is a combination of both parts of the current W. But drains health while active, and has a cooldown after being toggled off.
E: Takes flight and gains increased attack range and movement speed.
R: Point and click dash to an enemy champion rooting them and impaling them. That deals execute damage. If the enemy is executed Aatrox heals for the damage he dealt, and resets the cooldown on his passive.
