Considering the Reactions I've Seen, Riot Should Think About Changing/Reverting Aatrox

Legacy Hydralpha·Mar 8, 2017·5 votes·806 views

I was all for Aatrox changes, but seeing the reactions of the community it looks like everyone hates it. It's a new playstyle to get used to, yes, but that doesn't mean people will like it. All I see is "Aatrox is ruined" or "So-and-so Aatrox is dead." For 7.6, Riot must consider either making further changes to actually improve Aatrox or even just revert the changes. At least buff him instead of changing him, and make Jungle Aatrox work as well as it used to. I'd say buff his W and make Blood Rush last longer, at the very least?

Indeed. I can accept it may take sometime for him to get a real rework, but at least revert the passive. The old one was better. This one seems it was poorly thought out, debate all you want, but his revive is too situational, when he does get his passive it's not that big of a deal, and a little few moments out of combat and it's gone... :P it's really clunky, Zyra old passive clunky levels, if not worst.

The tripple heal below 50% HP was neat but I think I prefer the new W, going to play a few norms with him

You will lose. He is beyond trash tier now.

Most of these "reactions" are from people that haven't touched the champion in months.

Wrong dude. They are from players like me who have mained him for 1 to 2 years.

Played him since i started playing this game. Changes are just flat out bad. They might be a buff overall but playing him now feels like shit.

I just saw meddler say that Aatrox did terrible today overall. He will be buffed again for next patch or in a hotfix

Blood rush draining too quickly seems to be a major complaint. I haven't personally seen it, but I can imagine it's decay will be reduced in the future.

So stupid. The changes go into a completly wrong direction. They could have just buff building hp by removing his percentage costs. But it looks like riot thought that this would be so OP that they had to cut everywhere else his strengths in order to keep him balanced which is stupid.
