Can we at least, Give Aatrox more damage?

Best princess EU··5 votes·796 views

Cause idk about you, but i'm tired of seeing Aatrox being ignored everytime (unless fed as hell) while nearly everyone can do 1k damage in 2 seconds.

How about you increase his base AD, or increase his W damage/AD ratio?

because if you give him more damage he'll just lifesteal tank you and that's not fun to play against

You actually have to build items for him to be a draintank. Aatrox can draintank from lvl 1.

is there any champions that can make use of draintanking before lvl 8/9 in teamfight?

aatrox's drain tank is underwhelming until mid game at least, graves can drain tank as soon as he has item 1053 with how much damage he can do

all of what you just said is a huge lie

Aatrox mains don't want to hear that!

No one would mind more damage on him if they cut down his healing. As is, when Aatrox is strong he is impossible to push out of lane, even when weak he can make a lane noninteractive, which riot absolutely doesn't want.

if they cut his healing then yeah. but more damage with his current healing, no, just no.

"lifesteal tank",son,you know nothing about Aatrox.

Taking a gimped kit and just saying "fuck it have +25 damage" doesn't fix anything.

It will either do nothing, or make him cancer instead of troll.

hes not a troll pick.

Bârd2 votes

Well, not "Troll" exactly. Just weak and outclassed.

I'm not one to talk about troll picks, I guess, having been an Amumu/Soraka top spammed in ranked in prior seasons.

Aatrox is weak. Not only is he niche, his niche is filled by other champions, who do it BETTER.

Xin has a similar "3 hit heal/damage thing". His numbers are higher, and he doesn't have to choose (not to mention that it has an active steroid).

Irelia's W, over 3 hits, both outdamages and outheals Aatrox's W. While it has a cooldown, she (again) doesn't have to choose between damage and healing.

You never played against a fed Aatrox i think.

Ahristocats2 votes

good thing you wrote "fed" but you see no one here balances the game around champions being fed

Shadòw1 votes

you have to.

when a champion is fed and has no counterplay it's not healthy for the game.

and aatrox is one of these champs.

he is too weak right now, but flat damage buffs are definitly not a solution. they should maybe work around his cd's a bit.

for example, his q is on a 12 sec cd even on lvl5.

they should maybe make it so that this gets reduced by 1 sec every time he attacks an enemy champion.

this way he'll get rewarded for being able to attack often,_ the thing he should do_, with a lower cd on his q that can be used to escape/land another knockup.

flat damage changes will make him either broken of unplayable, he'll need buffs like this that reward him for doing the things he should do without making him broken.

no counterplay? Son,a squishy champ with nothing but heal which can be countered by 800 gold item,have to be in melee range to do something,2 of his cc spells can be dodged,is called no counterplay? if you mean autoattacks,half of league champs have no counterplay. heck even ad carries have no counterplay,only right click

Shadòw1 votes

His Damage and sustain is immense when fed, even with item 3123.

He literally has 3 lifes with item 3026.

What about a range increase? I mean, he has that big-aed sword, shouldn't he have a big-a range to go with it?

Best princess EU2 votes

his range, mobility or anything like that isn't really a problem right now.

His problem is that after an enemy builds GW he becomes useless because his only purpose is to lifesteal, his damages are just trash and every top laner has at least x2 more damage than him

His attack range actually increases during his ultimate.

Gibberwatt1 votes

But that's only a short time. I was thinking, like, a permanent increase.

That would make it so he could hit you through minion waves which wouldn't be fair to other melee champions.

TyroneWatermelon1 votes

25 range would be enough

Maximum Morde1 votes

He already does tons of damage, he just kills himself doing it.
