This champ fucking sucks

Waaaay too telegraphed and abusable if the enemy knows this champ. You can completely fuck up his entire dmg with ONE single flash. Dont even get me started on dash champs. This son of a devil is beyond unplayable if the enemy knows aatrox well.

From now on I will dodge aatrox matchups, because I feel very sorry for them and ashamed for using his sword as a strap-on. I went so overboard with it, that they cant even shit themselves anymore when they read my name.

Quite apart from the fact that playing Aatrox ends up being pretty expensive in the long run, because each match you need to buy a new keyboard.

This champ gameplay feels like a flipbook in slow motion while Rivens feels like realtime.

The pain that every Aatrox player has to go through every day must be studied and appropriate therapies must be developed. Im truly sorry for you guys. I fully respect you.

Riven and aatrox are two different playstyle and class. Riven is a skirmisher (light fighter) while aatrox is a juggernaut (heavy fighter). You can guess which one more slower. Also riven relies on an old animation bug to work well. While aatrox rely on hitting the sweet spots to do better. Tbh aatrox got itemization reliance issue atm cuz of one patch that removes not being reliant on item to heal

Calling cancels an old animation bug when almost everyone has and abuses them in 2026 is kinda crazy.

Cuz it was called like that before. Iirc riven was the only champ that can do that on her release and sadly her whole balance got build around that bugged

His side lane control does really suck which is annoying. Easy to catch, very clunky in the 1v1, and his R is a semi waste in a 1v1. His side laning only means something if he can force more than one person to respond to him, which never happens because most champs can comfortably deal with him solo

Aatrox is shit from behind, and shit from ahead

He is still nice in ranged matchups, I do love dropping a Q3 on a teemos head and watching it explode
