hellpfull and accurate build ^^
Thank you so much :)
I just said I'd take some of your alternatives as core and some of your cores as alternatives but yaeh, the guide is good and you can try to add match-ups sections too(I can provide you with a game against each champion if you need a sample via lolreplay). Your guide still deserves a +1, no discussion about that.
Oh haha :) I'll try if I can. I'll probably work on another guide first tho, thanks for the +1 :)
I'd recommend on your full sample build purchase order to click the little check box below on the section that says core, that way people can see the sample build while scrolling through different builds. this will help with drawing in attention.
just a little tip. good luck with your guide!
Oh, I haven't set the core items for my guide? Hahaha I didn't notice that. Thanks for reminding :) Will do so.
just a little tip. good luck with your guide!
I'd remove Bloodthirster from core and add either Blade of the Ruined King or Ravenous Hydra instead of it as both items synergize really well with Aatrox(ravenous for fast fights, botrk if you have a long fight team comp) and try maxing Blades of Torment as they are a great harrasing tool, farming tool(even better to farm from a distance if you lose your lane) and overally a greater spell to max first. Besides, Ninja Tabi is the item you should usually buy(good against nearly all top laners that are played atm, such as Jax, Garen and maybe Renekton). Try starting elixir of fortitudine with 3 pots or Doran's Shield/ Doran's Blade so you may actually try to get a firstblood when you get level 2(just saying).
Oh and try lifesteal quints, they can do wonders.
As for the Hydra and BotRK part, I did mention that BT is one of the items that you should take like 100% of the time. But if ever you need Hydra or BotRK more than BT, then go for it. Perhaps you didn't read the Ability Sequence Notes? Again, I recommended Mercury's Treads for reasons and one of those would be Tenacity which is extremely helpful so that they can't pin down Aatrox that easily. But as the Tier II Boots Notes say, you can freely take the other boots choices. As for the starting items, I have experimented with almost all sorts of stuff with Aatrox and I felt that those two would do good and it would be easier to build the rest of the items with those, I'll think about it. I did try lifesteal quints tho, and it didn't really helped that much since we already have lifesteal from Blood Thirst and other lifesteal items.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Erm, no. Tenacity in general is very important on melee teamfighters, ESPECIALLY one as reliant on auto-attacks as Aatrox.
Erm, considering Aatrox is AA based, it would be only natural to take Zephyr and early tenacity won't help as much as early defense.
