JUSTICAR AATROX needs a VO! Here is why

As far as I understand it, AatroxAatrox new lore roughly tells the story of an ascended who where ripped of his freedom and became enslaved and trapped in his weapon after his mortal mind went mad after Azir'sAzir death and the fall of Shurima. This makes me believe that Justicar Aatrox is the ascended version of Aatrox -Him before he went "mad" and lost his freedom.

But why do he sound like and talk like the warmonger we all know as the red classic darkinAatrox ?

In his new lore, the ascended aatrox -Justicar Aatrox- was created to fight the void, which this voice lines also indicate: "I stood against the void. Now... I would welcome it", which doesnt really makes any sense for justicar Aatrox. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Here some of his voice lines (and the issues concerning them)

"I am Darkin! Your gods fear me!" (Justicar Aatrox is not a Darkin, is he? Doesnt Darkin mean "the fallen"?)

"They think me defeated, enchained. But I am unbowed... Noble is this carnage." (Justicar Aatrox is not "enchained")

"I cannot die... until all life ends." (Justicar Aatrox was supposed to kill the void, not ALL life)

** "My darkness was not born, it was forged by my prison."** (Justicar Aatrox cannot have experienced this, yet)

"For my imprisonment, they will suffer!" (Same thing again)

"I have no goodness left, it was taken from me, stolen! I... am the nemesis of life." (Same thing again. Justicar Aatrox is before this happened)

Well, tell me what you think. Personally I like the new aatrox despite what people say. He is currently really good to certain things, but also really bad at other -Which is ok if he has the tools to deal with it. BUT: I don't like hearing classic Aatrox voice lines when playing Justicar Aatrox. Kinda makes me want to just play without any skin on... [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Oobs! The Poll is meant to be "what you THINK"

I feel like Justicar Aatrox isn't supposed to be Ascended Aatrox, honestly, and is rather exactly what the bio says: part of the Arclight skin universe. If Riot wanted it to be canon, they could've tweaked the skin bio during Aatrox's release to say as much.

oh, ok! Well, I have always thought of Justicar aatrox as the "good version" of aatrox and the classic as the "bad and evil". This connects really good with both his old and new lore, in my honest personal opinion!

Who said Aatrox was really that evil? If you really want to understand Aatrox you just need to listen to this song.

Well, I agree that according to his new lore his classic self might not be only "evil", but instead his suffering is, but this is still not the point. The point is, that the ascended form of aatrox is aatrox BEFORE he became the classic red DARKIN, but many of his voice lines tells partly a story of aatrox that the ascended version hasn't experienced or been through yet. Let me take an example:

"I am Darkin! Your gods fear me!" and "I have no goodness left, it was taken from me, stolen! I... am the nemesis of life." How can the ascended aatrox say this? DARKIN means "the fallen", but he hasnt fallen yet, and he is talking about something that "they" stole from him, but has that happened to him at this stage?

Aatrox is literally "I can't die so let's kill absolutely everything instead". You could say he's kind of gone crazy like Renekton.

I feel like his head is just too small. If they made the wings on him head bigger and more distinctive like the horns on classic Aatrox and Seahunter Aatrox, the skin would be great.

Ascended Aatrox looks like some animal like a dragon,bat (some winged animal) and Justicar Aatrox looks nothing like an animal
