Patch 7.5 - Revisiting Aatrox

Aatrox item 3072 I recently played a match and decided to go back to good old Aatrox with a full life steal build, i have not played him since the recent 7.5 patch and was exited to see what changes they had made to my beloved blade wielding friend, i loaded into the rift with some friends ran into the jungle and was doing alright until my first counter gank, i run into top lane, land my knock up and start auto attacking the enemy jungler just to find that im barely healing anything, my friend in the top lane takes advantage and picks up the first kill and im ready to us my passive, revive and turn to finish the job but instead i fall to the ground with no passive proc at all. This new system of filling your blood well only for it to deplete in 4 second is worthless leaving you in many off positions with no second chance, his nerf to his W heal has destroyed any chance of him winning trades with a decent jungler such as lee sin. Riot you have murdered Aatrox but its not to late. Please bring my beloved Aatrox back.

I know he lost a lot of power in his recent update but that's not exactly a great build Yeah you're squishy, super expensive item with mediocre damage and so little tankiness that you'd practically be killed by a breeze.

Maybe try new, less cheesy builds with bulk in? I'm not saying that's the solution, but it's a thought.

Aatrox isn't a jungler anymore (he never really was tbh), and full damage doesn't work anymore either. Try playing him right and you'll do better.

U shouldn't complain when u take a shitty build... if i go as Wu tank i won't have any right to complain...

build like this item 3153 / item 3812 > item 3078 / item 3071 >>> full tank ( item 3143 item 3065 item 3053 )

You have voiced my thoughts better then I could've. Indeed his passive and W nerf are the most felt feature of the new updates. Why did they nerf a champ that is already one of the hard to master with an average win rate?!Aatrox
