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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Neither is this guy. 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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
