New Aatrox is amazing.

I'll be the guy that disagrees with the community. First off, the look is a lot cooler. The sword makes a lot more sense. I like the voice over though the contrast between his old demeanor I know will bother mains. The best part though? The new kit is amazing! I never cared for the ball of stats old Aatrox was. I never considered his old kit to have much cohesion. This knew kit has so much potential. Messing around with e->q is so much fun. You can e back and q forward to setup the edge. E forward and q for distance. The potential is limitless for this simple combo and I think it's incredible.

I really don't understand the sentiments of the community. I read all the forums post about he's clunky or there's no cohesion with his kit but honestly his kit couldn't play more smoothly. I have found zero issue with how it works and I think once people see players showcasing his true potential and how to make use of his combos, he will become popular and strong.

I want to note that I am only playing in bots atm as my GF is new and I'm playing with her but points about how the kit functions are still valid. My only possible complaint is that the colors of the re-done skins are a lot more bland than the originals. I think the skins could use some color updates to make them more vibrant. I still want to thank all the Rioters who worked on him though, it came out incredible and this is definitely my new main. :3
