Talk:Aatrox/@comment-24659969-20170309051500

This latest patch isn't a rework, it is a nerf actually and quite a big one. Sure it is a buff for early, but the late Aatrox are nerfed very hard, way bigger than its early buff.

Lets see my marks and opinions. Starting from the passive., the 25% Base AD bonus is kinda insignificant.

Then the way the bar filled now. Previously, Aatrox can bank up the blood meter before a war  and if you build AD focused with some healths, 2 strikes of W enabled and a single Q or E already fills the bar full (or at least very close to full, like only 15 ~ 5% empty). But now, Aatrox needs a ton of strikes (3 loops of W aka 9 strikes, a single Q and a single W). They should have made the bar filled by 25% instead 20%.

The bar refresh also should not be limited by dealing or taking damage against enemy champions but also should applies to monsters, minions, etc.

Q... You only use this skill every 8 seconds or so with 40% CDR. Buff looks big, split by that big CD and it would looks small. It is like 100 / 10 = 10, Now you add 50 to 100 so it becomes 150/10 = 15 end result, still small.

W passive...Previously, when Occult still exist, AD-LS Aatrox can solo baron at level 13~14, no smite required. After Occult removal, 16 ~ 18 level required, still no smite. But now, he can't at all even with smite since the bar fill up takes way too long. *Put sad emoji here*

(+ 5% missing health) is useless!! Should be keep the 3 times healing at least.

For E, no comment, just balanced.

Really, it is just freaking worse imo. Even warwick now feels better at dueling.
