It looks really stupid, and the skin team knows it. Every single one of his skins has something that at least resembles the shape of a sword.
The base skin's ridiculous 3-sided design should just be flattened. Function is fabulous, people.

Plot twist, being the scythe doesn't make Rhaast look retarded.
The 3 sided blade makes a sword lose all functionality as a blade. And you didn't even contribute to the discussion. We know he is the blade. That's why it changes color and pulses. Unless you're saying that the blade fits Aatrox's theme because he's a worthless champion and so a worthless blade would be his signature, then that makes sense.
Umbral Regent2 votesLets put it like this; Aatrox's sword is triple-edged for two reasons: Fantasy design (yes, this is a fantasy setting, where visible functionality is sort of thrown out the window. Look at Garen.) and there's a few unique factors you're overlooking about Aatrox's sword.
And, please, if we're talking functionality, none of Aatrox's swords look remotely functional outside of the above points (they're flexible and he controls them). Justicar Aatrox's is a paddlesword with a dull edge, Mecha Aatrox's is made of some sort of glass-fiber, and Sea Hunter Aatrox's sword has way too many serrations to be a cutting weapon, it's almost more for hooking than anything else.
Also, you say "Function is fabulous", but I've seen some functional stuff that looks boring and uninteresting as all unholy hell. On top of that, it's all subjective. I like Aatrox's sword because it looks vicious and unique from any other Champion's weapons.
One last point;
Unless you're saying that the blade fits Aatrox's theme because he's a worthless champion and so a worthless blade would be his signature, then that makes sense.
If you want to discuss Aatrox's gameplay aspects, do so in the Gameplay forum. Because bringing that up here in Story, Art, & Sound both doesn't fit and also derails your original conversation.

It's a sword that looks like a demon spine.
Let it be.

So, it's not a sword. It's a spear.

No. Spines can be swords, on account that they can be bladed.
The Ecdysiast1 votesNo. Spines can be swords, on account that they can be bladed.
You know what? I already won the argument. The skin team agrees that the impractical 3-blade design is stupid, and has rightfully changed it for all his skins.
