(Keep in mind please don't take this so seriously, it's only my first impression or opinion about the rework)

The old Attrox used to be this chaotic neutral entity. He wasn't really evil, nor good, but he existed for a noble purpose. He had a calm but resolute aura around him that carries "elegance" in his battles and the way he fights. He even stood by those who were weak, only to reveal that what matters only is that you fight. Basically, he was more of a sadistic, more demonlike in the way he carries himself, the old lore even mentioned how he wields his sword in a style that is hypnotic to behold.

I was expecting the new attrox to still remain an auto attack champion while still having diving potential, sustain, life drain, etc. But instead he is more of a mage like champion. Even his abilities is very much like Riven's (QandE) and Swain's ultimate which kind of seems a bit underwhelming. His voice, is quite disappointing to hear. He is basically like a more edgy version of Sion.

"Do you see my edge?! Your death awaits!" "Hail the protector! Hail Taric, aspect of... get a haircut!" "Lord of starlight, lord of hair! I trample on your corpse, Taric! I spit on your aspect's purpose!"

What happened to all the quotes about war and fight for your noble cause? Attrox was never this much full of himself when he fights opponents. Yes, I understand that in the new lore he was trapped for a very long time and he wants revenge, and so on. However, I feel that the old attrox's lore has grown to quite a number of people in order to go from a sadistic, calm warrior who fights for a cause to someone who is edgy and wants to destroy everything for revenge. It doesn't seem to fit in properly. In my opinion, I don't think the voice is good for him, it's probably me not used to the accent but again I think it's because of Attrox being a more loud champion now and how he carries himself.

Anyway, thanks for reading. My opinion may or may not change later on as more info is revealed about the new rework. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

...........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The old Aatrox existed for 1 thing and 1 thing only: Fighting.

He never joined the just/noble side of wars, he always join the losing side because it made his battle more interesting.

New Aatrox state that he was "Once honored defenders of Shurima against the Void" he and the others were bretrayed and seal away for centuries and now escaped into weapons he want vengeance for this injustice.

Let’s all be honest here... new aatrox was sloppy, lazily put together and just all around terrible compared to the old.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Aatrox’s old lore was so good he was everything Jhin wants to be. That’s some powerful lore right there.

Instead now we got garbage and the casuals are happy.
