Aatrox should use his now scrapped Revive animation for other Resurrection effects

...Or at the very least for item 3026.

We know the revive is most likely never coming back because it made him a bitch to deal with and OP in pro play, but I found that I miss the animation itself more than I miss the actual utility of the revive.

He already got to keep his revive lines anyway (which were written to be used with that specific animation) and it's just awkward to hear him threaten his opponents with his 'immortality' while he's slowly falling like 5 feet away from the spot where he was taken down.

I don't think this would even cause any confusion or clarity issues either because at this point everyone knows the R revive is gone and because you're locked in place while reviving anyway people should be able to easily see the VFX of whatever it is that's resurrecting him (Zilean R, GA). Could be wrong about that but that's how I see it.

I'm aware most people probably don't care about this, but it feels like a waste that such a cool animation was scrapped with the removal of the revive instead of being reused for something else (and IMHO something that was pretty obvious). Pls rito do something with it.

Thank you for reading. Aatrox item 3070

Finally a decent Aatrox suggestion.

I agree, this would be a nice touch, and would let them properly use his resurrection voice lines again.

he could also have the rework reverted back to what he was when he got the first rework, when he was still aatrox and viable, this isnt and will never be aatrox, release the old one back, call it Aaatrox idc

great idea considering GA is an item aatrox buys when they dont have any magic damage and it would be better than some champs/skins who get voicelines for items they never would buy

This a great idea and should really be considered!

This is actually a very good idea, I like it But it is very unlikely to happen because that would take 10 minutes of a Rioter's time to do and as we all know, in Riot time is money. Why would they do something like this for free when they could instead work on the next Yasuo skin?

Guys, I made this thread as a small suggestion to bring back Aatrox's revive animation in some way. I'm sorry but if you want to lament on a champ that's been gone for 2 years or complain about the rework please find another thread that was made to actually talk about those things.

I think this would be a great idea. I really liked the animation for Aatrox's revive and the loss of that animation was honestly the main reason I was sad to see the revive go. It was a really neat animation with a lot of character! Honestly I'm still sad they took away his tower hit animation too, I know it wasn't popular with a lot of people though, but I'd still like to see it return in some form : (
