I'm pretty interested. Aatrox is one of my favorites and although his ult doesnt do what his lore does, I wonder how champions would react to the magic. I'd picture some of the weaker champions like soraka utterly destroying their opponent in an unexpected turn of events. Here's one of the scenarios i picture: Soraka Soraka - - Act of The Fallen Celestial

Even though soraka posses strong celestial magic, it won't help against a war veteran with a sword once she is out of mana. I'd picture soraka being knocked to the ground and is a bout to get stabbed with a downward thrust. All of a sudden a shadowy figure appears in the near shadows and Soraka is filled with an uncontrollable rage and blocks the sword with her staff hove kicks the guy in the nuts stomach. Gets up, staff smacks the guy with such a force he does a 180 spin and drops his sword. Soraka unleashes a barrage of staff attacks then mid jumps and staff hammer the guys face to the ground. Only to repeatedly stab him with the staff in his chest to make sure he's dead.

It it would be interested to see tables turned in fights with unexpected outcomes. It's one of the reasons Aatrox is one of my favorites. Say Jinx Jinx is actually about to get caught. No more ammo in either of her weapons. The Piltover police force and Vi is hot on her trail. Then Aatrox appears nearby out of sight and Jinx starts to go ham on Vi and the piltiebots just using her ammoless weapons.

What kind of Aatrox events would you guys like to see?

GenociderX, Ill point you to Duy Khanh Nguyen.

He is a new model artist working at Riot, map or champion wise. One of his initial "getting the job" projects was a Darkin map, Darkin fountain area, and a Darkin Champion (some of it was for the Polycount contest). Here is hoping they actually use some of his models for something sweet in the future related to Darkins, like what we got with Bilgewater event.

He has been in Riot for almost a year, and since then he has contribute some time in this project. Officially he made Slayer Jinx, Shadowfire Kindred, Elderwood Hecarim, Gravelord Azir and some portions of the new SR map. So the guy knows how to do maps and champs. It is entierly possible if there is enough support for this that Riot would consider working on something like this, testing it, and making it better (even possibly for their new game in the works which isnt a MOBA).

They shelved the Magma chamber...so the chances are slim to none. I really do wish they make a new map though. This atr work is pretty damn good. I'd play here the majority of my time playing league.

I have nothing againt you or the map concept, however, that its A) A fan concept... and this place is not for "fan art". And B) This thread is not about the darkin race, its about the power of Aatrox and how it would affect other champs... your post is like talking about a fan made map of Bandle City in a thread of Lulu and her power.

Well this was an answer to GenociderX comment.

I hope they can get around adding more to his lore some time

So it kinda is part of the thread. Also tell me that this wont open up new ideas for the Darkin, their influence on people and similar. Its only long of a post since I like posting pictures for better visual indication.

Yes its fan-made, but it was made by a Rioter which still currently works at Riot, and we also need to remember that Bilgewater map was also a fan-made map for the Thuderdome event, which was then later used in-game. It only takes some support for this and we will see it happen, at least as a reskin for ARAM or the new Crystal Scar (of course the map would mostly change cause of this, the old Crystal Scar, and this conceptual one).

Wow, i didnt knew that about the Bilgewater Map... But my point still the same: We are getting out of topic, because instead of talking about Aatrox and how he would affect other champions, we are talking about the map concept that you posted.

Gnar- Becomes primal all the time or ignores Aatrox cause he doenst understand him. Darius- Kinda already is ready for Aatrox sama. Leona- Goes on a crusade to kill Diana, the last heretical vestige of the Lunari. Warwick- Also becomes completely feral. Jarvan IV- Ruthless ruler which starts wars with other countries constantly.

This is interesting... Would be Aatrox able to "manipulate" someone outside the battlefield? The effects of his "bloodlust" are temporary as far as i know.

The heat of the moment is one of the most unpredictable things in our lives. All Aatrox needs is to manipulate Jarvan at the right moment for things to escalate into an all out war.

But he gets downvoted on a regularly basis. For absolutely no reason. Thats why he stated that.

Honestly, it kinda makes me care less for this community and this game when I see 0 support from anyone even on the threads for no apparent reason as you stated.

GenoXx2 votes

1+, i hate people who downvote for no reason or w/o discussion

This is why i said this in another thread becasue its really stupid that we have people come to the boards and literally try to rain on someone else's parade because "reasons" I'm sure its the same no life that sees you in threads and decides to downvote.

And what else stirs up creativity than actual physically made things. There is no such thing as original ideas in the gaming world, not anymore... everything is based on something else in the world, real or fake.

The thread was on the darkin race, this posted showed a fan thing that would be great as an addition to the backstory or even events of the darkin themselves.

The thread is about an aatrox event possibility, and this is exactly what was in the last sentence of the op post...

Aatrox, one of the coolest champs that riot doesn't care about :(

I doubt that Aatrox could affect a celestial being like Soraka, or a creature that is more powerfull than him. I mean, he has used his "power" in random human soldiers, not a "godlike creature" (like... Bard, Xerath or Kindred...) In fact, i doubt that he could affect someone with a "clean mind" like...ummm..... Karma?

Never know. She isn't what she used to be.

I wonder if it would be awesome (or too op) if Aatrox ult instead of being a 100 damage small aoe and +100 range aa's to for like 5 seconds you give an allied champion URF mode. No mana costs, low cd's, just 'hey pal, go ham ;)"
