I'm a low elo player and Aatrox is my favorite champion to play.

Let me preface this by saying: HE NEEDS A REWORK BAD BECAUSE HES TRASH

However

I'm at like a mid-silver/low-gold elo I think (not sure because I never play ranked but those are the players I get paired with), and for some odd reason I can't do all that well with my other favorites, people know what to do to stop them it seems, and I don't know how to get around them stopping me. But when I pull out Aatrox I smash people. I think I figured out why today. A lot of the players I'm playing against haven't been playing for all too long. Aatrox has been in the bottom 15 picked and banned champions since the day I started back in season 4. He's currently sitting at a .5% pick rate (LOL) and a 2.6% ban rate. So I think I can say with some certainty, that these new players have never played him and see him in game once every blue moon. So, they have absolutely no idea what to do against him! I can sit there and poke with my E non stop and keep getting my passive up because they don't dodge it and then all in when they get kinda low. Get the knock up, hit the e, land blood price, and with an auto or two they're dead! They come back into lane probably in shock, and fall for the same thing. over and over and over and over and over and over and over. They don't gank me, they don't even try to stop me because they're clueless to the fact that all they gotta do is gank me a few times, build Randuin's, and I'm pretty much screwed. He's so mediocre, but in low elo's he just stomps. I find it very funny. (Put him in a high elo game and they probably still are a little confused when they see him, but they'll at least know how to stop him and not be stupid enough to feed him) My tip: If you're a low elo player and wanna stomp, learn aatrox. He's mind numbingly easy to play and the enemies will be so confused that they can't stop you!
