Riot trying to make a melee carry looks like.


He's as much a melee carry as Riven or Garen. He is a fighter, for sure.

I will assume his passive has some sort of cooldown?


how the fuck is garen anywhere close to a melee carry or anywhere close to riven (i guess they both have executish ults?)


Neither Riven nor Garen are melee carries. Neither is this guy.

% based

Or the skills would have to scale really badly into lategame, except that the fifth point in a spell (a la Syndra) would give it a massive power boost by increasing its AP ratio or its effect by a lot, at the cost of making it % based or take a ton of hp.


% based is REALLY awkward though - because the more health you have, the less effective (flat) health regeneration is.

ZAC doesn't really have this problem because his passive essentially refunds all of his health costs. But if you give % cost to, say, Mordekaiser, it will be doom to him.


And lo and behold, Aatrox's passive refunds his health costs when he was about to die! Coincidence?

Even Zac health costs is 4%, so even if it scales cost with late game, but Riot always finds a way to make the sustain significantly greater than the actual cost.

I'm not sure about the passive CD part if its supposed to "keep him alive".

Well, he's more of a carry in the sense that he does damage from autos, whereas Riven's damage comes from spells and passive procs and Garen... well, I personally wouldn't consider Garen a carry.

Again with lore, I miss the reflections or w/e. Why the fuck is a 100000 year old demon battlelord joining the League? (well, I guess its cuz he likes fighting, and League is the only place to fight). Either way,he and Panth are going to be best buddies.

On the note of Pantheon who seems the closest related champ (design-ish wise, AD caster-ish), I hope Riot figured him out better-- Panth falls off so hard after early/ midgame. This guy also seems really vulnerable to CC.

Panth is more reliant on his abilities, as an auto-based champion with what appears to me a jump/knockup and a slow, he's probably more in line with Trynd than Panth.

He certainly sounds... interesting. I'm curious to see some numbers and ratios though.

If his passive does not have a CD, one can assume it works immediately, unlike (say) Guardian Angel's effect which has a lag time that makes you basically invincible.

His laning phase will probably work out similarly to Mordekaiser's, except you build up your Blood Well against all-ins where Mordekaiser builds shield against pokes. In this regard, Aatrox is probably strong against all-ins (and his intro seems to suggest this as well). What will make-or-break for him is probably his W's base heal and ratio.

Well mobility creep has taken a firm grasp on this game. That much is for certain.

Also utility creep. This guy has a knockup(stronger than suppress), and a slow. Honestly Riot's design team either needs to tone down every champ in the game, or else they'd need to rework a large majority of the older champs to maintain usefulness.

Make costs scale based off of % damage dealt by the skill.

lux and diana arent melee carries either. what's your point?

i thought the argument would be relating riven and garen as hard scaling melees who can snowball but garen barely scales at all damage wise meanwhile riven hyper scales so its like complete opposite champs

SO, maybe its just because I suck at not jungling... But god damn that Aatrox guy sounds like a jungler. 2 AoE abilities, Passive sustain, hard CC, great diving kit.

The ganks you could pull off with that kit make me excited... tank all the damages, dive all the towers, give none of the fucks.

Also doesn't matter because its 4% of current as a cost and 4% of maximum as a passive, so it breaks even at some point.

It sounds to me like his E and Q are more utility than damage oriented, so as just an auto champion his clear would be slow as hell, not to mention fairly dangerous if you don't start with W and/or use W too much in early levels.

% costs have a problem where you simply buy regen and not a lot of hp and your regen completely crushes the hp costs and again it becomes negligible. Fundamentally hp costs are either negligible or absolutely painful to have and there is very little middle ground (and if it exists, it is a very small strip of land between two steep trenches). I am leaning towards the idea that hp costs are simply a limiting resource mechanic for early-game and act as an inconvenience mid-late.

That being said, I still think Aatrox's passive very clever in design and form. I hope the numbers are also good so it becomes skill rewarding to chain skills into the passive in fights.

I think he has scope for being a good carry but the fundamental issue of getting into melee range and not getting 5-man focused, cc'ed and exploded remains. Hm.
ModeratorA dream. Do you have one that has cursed you like that? Or maybe... a wish?

Can someone explain his passive? Is it essentially a morde shield type deal that only procs on death?

If so, that sounds awesome, and he looks awesome.

I really don't like that champion. That is probably the first champion that just looks stupid. Combine that he has a dumb name and I have so little interest in him. I'm getting flash backs to when Sega revealed Shadow the Hedgehog.

When you use abilities, it costs health and a portion of that health is stored in a pool. When you die (hit 0), that health is refunded, but while you're idle the pool drains. So it rewards spamming/constant management to have max effectiveness.
