Plankton to represent the size of Aatrox's playbase.

All they need to do is fix Aatrox's interaction with GA (Make his passive have priority over it or at least make him come out of GA with fell Blood.).

I am an Aatrox main.

Can confirm both player-base is small and these changes stiffen my sword.

Aatrox has mains?

As well as the Sterak's changes.

I see now. They're bringing Aatrox back to the meta and putting Shen where he used to be.

I get it! Aatrox and Shen, according to Riot's balancing philosopjy, cannot exist in the meta at the same time.

Is this truly the return of the Aatrox dominance? After so long of being a meme & a joke in the community, will we all learn to fear the Darkin? Will Riot finally give Yorick another skin? Find out this & more next time on Dragon Ball Z!!!

They should make Executioner's Calling inconsistent. Similar to Morello or with passive cooldown. Simply increasing price won't do any good.

Honestly, Aatrox is going to be actually solid. What the fuck has this game become.

SoI invictus4/13/2017, 12:39:31 PM1 votes

Off topic but i always wondered why Aatrox says ''Forgive me'' sometimes when he ults...

Partybringer4/11/2017, 8:55:44 PM1 votes

Not to mention the straight up buffs to him

Ohhh I've been wondering what an aatrox was, now i see. It's the one-eyed green thing from spongebob.

Tahminatrix 4/11/2017, 9:08:56 PM1 votes

I already see graves still pooping on aatrox as graves loves item 3812

But these changes will really help IllaoiandVladimir....evenDrMundo

Atleast aatrox will do MUCH better against any none deathdance lover...maybe even be seen as broken/op

The Ender Cobra4/11/2017, 9:46:02 PM1 votes

ugh...

now I'm going to have to play nasus top again just to counter him

RottedApples4/11/2017, 10:22:37 PM1 votes

this is not enough. please revert passive to prerework state.

AmazoX4/11/2017, 11:05:55 PM1 votes

Purrfect.

guardian angel wont be that good on him tbh but yea all the other stuff

badooga4/12/2017, 12:57:10 PM1 votes

Seeing the new tank items on the PBE and realizing that they'll be fantastic for Aatrox vs. sustained AP and for teamfighting, respectively

Also seeing Sterak's Gage buff http://www.kidsmomo.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/evil-laugh-plankton.gif

The GA buff might not help Aatrox that much, I think that if he dies it will activate GA first and then his passive.
