You absolutely MISSED the mark on this one.

Long time Aatrox player here, pretty excited for the Pantheon update because he looks really cool but what the heck is up with that bio.

FIRST OF ALL, you're telling me, the suicidal and hell-bent on oblivion and self destructing Aatrox, after impaling the aspect of war whom he despised and getting spat on, left him with an intact corpse and simply walked away? Are you kidding me? You sure that's the same Aatrox that repeatedly quotes splitting people from their spines and would love to relish in the repeated killing of the aspect of twilight?

Secondly... DID YOU REALLY MAKE PANTHEON BEAT AATROX THROUGH A FRIENDSHIP POWER UP? Jesus almighty. Well at least you got the part where Aatrox was toying with Pantheon right, the next bit though... what the heck.

"But even though Aatrox’s blows cast him to his knees, Atreus’ own will reignited the Aspect’s spear, upon hearing the cries of the people around him… and with a mighty leap, he struck a blow that severed the Darkin’s sword arm."

XD

I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt and say this is a limitation of doing a bio without using the character's voice as the driver. I think you guys really missed the mark on this one and I feel Pantheon and Aatrox's lore/battle could have been better illustrated in a comic or some other visual representation.

For the people who don't know Aatrox's character at all, take a listen to his voice lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pn41Ecefm4

If this was old Aatrox maybe he'd be the type of character portrayed in the bio, but listening to those voice lines, hearing the contempt and rage against everything he goes up against, it's actually laughable that you guys even think the current Aatrox matches the one in Panth's bio.

??? where is it stated that Atreus was not split nearly in half? he killed the god of war what use would he have with a corpse? i imagine that the dying energies of a god are incredibly powerful and aatrox just expected them to vanish because thats what generally happens and he would know as a former god, it just happened to be that Aetreus soul was powerful enough to reign in the energy and absorb it allowing his mortal form to be reforged though with some damage from the fight remaining as scars.

Guys, I cant believe you all. Seriously... I'm EXTREMELY disappointed. Please open your eyes and stop being biased. We are talking about AATROX here. Not the old Aatrox, the reworked Aatrox. Dont forget that First of all: Aatrox hates literally everything and I mean EVERYTHING, but aspects... ASPECTS DRIVE HIM CRAZY!!! HE LITERALLY SAYS "I KNOW IT WAS YOU, TRICKSTER. YOU GAVE THEM THE TOOLS TO TRAP ME. COME! LET ME KILL YOU - A THOUSAND TIMES ISNT ENOUGH." He says this in PURE RAGE. He hates aspects so much that killing them a thousand time will NEVER be enough.

Pantheon is no exception. Aatrox knows that pantheon is an aspect, and as mentioned above he would not only kill pantheon but would completely ANNIHILATE him. AATROX WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL PANTHEON WAS WIPED OUT FROM EXISTENCE! Aatrox does NOT care if Atreus is an aspect or not. Moreover, the last time Aatrox fought Atreus, Atreus was an aspect. How would aatrox know if Atreus was still an aspect or became a mortal? Thus proving my point.

What I'm trying to say about pantheon's lore is that... ITS NOT ONLY BAD BUT ITS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!! WHAT IS THIS, ANIME? ATREUS SUDDENLY GET A SUDDEN BURST OF WILLPOWER AND ENERGY FORM THE SCREAMS AND ANGER?! BULLSHIT!!! THIS IS LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WHERE DARK AND GRIM STORIES ARE TOLD WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS! PYKE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF BETRAYAL, SYLAS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SLAVERY AND THERE ARE MANY MORE!!!

AATROX' STORY IS AGONIZING, HORIFIC AND PAINFUL TO READ!!!!! AFTER BEING TRAPPED IN A SWORD NOT ABLE TO MOVE BREATH OR DO LITERALLY ANYTHING, HE CLINGS ON TO BLIND HOPE - PERHAPS ONE DAY HE WILL BE FREE FROM HIS ETERNAL TORMENT BY BRINGING DOOM TO ALL THINGS. AND THE FACT THAT AATROX LOST AN ARM WHILE FIGHTING A PERSON WHO NEVER WON A BATTLE BEFORE???!!! WHAT IS RIOT THINKING

I know that many people disagree with me and might think that pantheon's lore is ok and should stay. I honestly dont know what to say to those people except that THEY ARE WRONG!!!

Riot has made a mistake and will continue to do so. But, Riot can always fix those mistakes. Pantheon's lore is one of those mistakes and can be fixed. I just hope that Riot reads this and perhaps changes the lore of pantheon. That's all I have to say for now.

I really really hate it when this happens.
