###Differences
I think two words can be used to describe new Aatrox from looks alone, and that is "gritty" and "organic".
His sword actually has a heart beat. The stone-like structures on his body are more rigid and rough. His wings actually look like they are made of something that's not really messed up silk. His muscles were buffed to a thousand. Finally, his sword is no longer a weird bendy noodle lookin' thing. It's thick and it looks like it has some SERIOUS weight behind it.
All in all, great job. If new Aatrox looks like this in-game, I'll say that he captures the spirit of a "Demonic Entity of War and Carnage" 100% more than his old look, which looked like a gothy cosplayer that might have been a little menacing given the right circumstances.
The horn part does still go down to his nose.
Another thing about his wings: they now change.
In the teaser, they are incredibly small while he's killing the soldiers, but then when he "grows", the wings become massive.
"I'm....DEVILMAANNNNNNNN"
Can we reuse the old Aatrox's model and turn it into the old Galio? I'd love to have the old Galio back.
Goodby banner wings
He looks so BAD-ASS.
WAIT WAIT WAIT the thing on his face was a shield / mask on his nose area ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ I always thought that was his face..
Nicol Bolas horns
RIP curves. Why must we make every male champ a WWE wrestler? We barely have any that are other body types, why shove Aatrox in this same hole?? [sg-janna]
The sword is the only change I actually dislike. Maybe that overall design for something else, but the sword he currently has looks more appropriate.
A heartbeat that can resonate through a blade that resembles a spine or general vague skeletal structure is relatively interesting, makes it seem like the blade really is alive in every way and connected organically. Also seems more versatile, rather than hack and slash -- the heartbeat is just there to look cool and absorb health passively. In the current one, it really feels like the blade could drink blood and move in a way that encourages more of it to spill.
Hopefully this means no more dildo sword.
I'm a little sad his wings have changed. Means he's probably not a commander any more. His failure to fulfil the commander trope was one of the biggest complaints of his release (reveal/teaser/lore vs gameplay), and it looks like they abandoned it entirely.
He almost looks like a power rangers villain... except way more badass. Overall great design imo, just hope lore/voice lines are similar, I loved previous aatrox's identity.
The horns have a shape of a crown, amd his whole face is cocered in metalic gray color. Wouldn't be surprized if Mecha Aatrox looked like a winged Galvatron/Unicron lmao.
His horns has a different shape too, instead of pointing upwards they are pointing a bit backwards. And also, those shoulderpads are cool as hell too, even more if the wings are growing out from them.
unstoppable btw?
DIdn't occur to me at first, but now looking at it... is it just me, or does Aatrox's new sword have a Soul Edge vibe to it?
He also has a better butt now, please put that down it is very important.
New Aatrox looks like a heavy enemy from games like Doom! He looks like a brute, a juggernaut.
