Obviously alot of mechanics need to be worked out. builds on day 1 of release are never all too proper, but this should give you a good idea of what im thinking. Heres what aatrox is all about. Basically heres how you want to play him, if youre not hitting something youre dead. What i mean by that is without his uber sustain he drops quick. Dont engage an aatrox working his full well unless you have some serious cc. That being said if you have your well full, some nice attack speed, and a bit of dmg, youre unstoppable. But more on all that later. Lets get started.

Once again id just like to point out that this build is under deep construction. The thoughts posted in this build are just that, thoughts. i have not worked out any kinks on this build yet at all. Also im no coder, nor do i care for flashy lights. this is about content and learning. nuff said.

The runes im currently rolling with are ad red, armor yellow, magic resist blues, and ad quints. im undecided between ad quint, life steal quint, and attack speed quint. they are all real big on how aatrox is steamrolling so any one of these i can find applicable. Ad red, standard. maybe you wanna throw some armor pen in there and a crit rune for good measure. Obviously armor yellows and mr blues for that lane sustain.

This is where things are getting tricky. Im finding its best to build alot of t2 items before getting into t3's. you need the quick boost of some t2 items to keep you in the early/mid game. Id suggest rushing the bt. that way you have your sustain and dmg taken care of for early game. atm i got zerkers next. need to beef that attack speed. then go stinger and giants belt. those will become your zephyr for attack speed, and a mallet for some much needed hp and slow. With these 4 items the only thing that can kill you is a stunlock. Continue to build more ad/hp depending on the opposing team.
