What troubles me so is the Ult as well, but I will try to take it to a whole new level "concept wise".

What distinguishes a champion's abilities from any others are the ties that champion has to their lore. Just a few examples.

Riven - Reforging the blade she broke, amending her ties to the past to fight a little longer

Talon - Disperses in a circle of blades to reappear somewhere else, which ties with his lore saying he could never be pointed down AND the assassins sent after him lied dead

Zilean - The ultimate time control, revive one that was dead by means of time warping

Darius - being an executioner, the ultimate bears a lot of damage and power for his title

If you keep going at this, you will find many more worthy examples that fill this criteria. Now Aatrox is a champion that was "conceived" as a figure which would show up in battles, enrage one side of the army and help them win the war.

His ultimate as it is, feels NOTHING like that. Nor am I implying it should be stupid powerful so, trolls hold yer horses.

I am suggesting that his ult buff his team in some way.

-Apply a buff of "rage" that buffs your allies to deal 5/10/15% more damage for instance (in a way similar to vlad's but it would work as a buff not as a "target is receiving x%damage more)

-Give bonus health to allies or a shield

-Lifesteal heal your teammates during ult in a radius (though that is a shameless copy of Sion's ult so, no. I don't suggest it is done)

-Make CC less applicable to you and your teammates as in 10% CC reduction aoe radius

-Make allies proc a debuff on enemies through AAs or Abilities that when procced by Blood Thirst deal bonus damage/apply slow/lifesteal/rend/weaken (I really don't know, just think Leona passive and adjust)

Can't really suggest something noteworthy to be honest, since this is not my job. If I were able to create a good ult, then I would probably be already working at Riot but I am not. I'm just spouting ideas around to see what the community thinks.

So tell me, is it just me? Or does anyone agree on this visualisation of Aatrox's ult?
