Great guide! :)

This guide actually is quite effective :)

See this as less as critique of the build and more as a series of questions, because of which I don't really see the viability of the build itself. I have yet to try the build, so most of this as of now is theoretical speculation, so take this with a grain of salt.

For one I'd like to address the runes itself, specifically the main resolve build, when compared to, say Conqueror precision runes. Sure, the damage you get from stacking your passive and Grasp and unloading it onto unsuspecting targets, which then lose about whole LOT of their HP sounds really nice, but stacking said runes is incredibly unreliable as well as requiring you to micro the hell out of your cooldowns on both Grasp and your passive to actually hit with both.

Its drawback also comes back in teamfights, where a stacked Conqueror just outperforms it unless the enemies have incredible burst. In the end we are considering taking Grasp not for being Grasp, but rather to have Demolition, Revitalize and Second Wind as part of the resolve tree just because of the fact that Aatrox is a melee caster, so he only gets to utilize his autos reliably during his Q1-W-Q2-Auto-E(autocancel)-Auto-Q3-Auto combo (or a variation thereof) during the laning phase. Arduous as stacking Conqueror on Aatrox is, it somewhat outperforms Grasp in a lot of situations. So what makes Grasp better than taking Conqueror, aside from the runes it provides?

The runes aside, we also have to consider grievous wounds, which cut Aatrox' healing immensely, down to countering him as a whole. In this guide I haven't really seen any tips on how to deal with grievous wounds, which are incredibly cheap, yet in essence nullify a lot of the healing he gets. Where the enemy wastes his ignite and doesn't pay the grievous wounds tax of 800g, you can probably snowball the lane, because there's no risk to your healing in the next three minutes.

As to the item choice, the build looks great and is mostly the same Aatrox build as is built on any other Aatrox builds, though if we are already playing around our passive and Grasp procs, we can explore Divine Sunderer too, which works as a Sheen, thus doing incredible amounts of damage which can be activated by a simple E dash. The drawback of that is that Aatrox loses out on the total of 50 ability haste at full build, but gains 25% armor and magic penetration, which with Serylda's Grudge adds up to 55% armor penetration, effectively making Aatrox a literal anti-tank rifle while being able to somewhat tank himself. As a bonus, everytime Aatrox hits his Grasp-Sunderer-charged passive, he heals for 100% of the damage he just dealt, which on paper sounds pretty solid.

So in turn, what in this build prevents us from exploring the possibility of going all out with auto procs coupled with immense healing from Divine Sunderer? Gorderinker outperforms Divine Sunderer practically in every situation, unless the enemy team is made up of 101% tanks with a 1% margin of error, if Aatrox uses Conqueror runes, that is. Maybe Divine Sunderer is more viable on Grasp runes, but I'd definitely need a second opinion on this.

Aatrox inherently suffers from the immense amounts of burst in the game, while being unable to heal a lot of HP because of the grievous wounds put on him. While this build is incredible at healing and is admittedly doing very decent damage, who's to say that it can keep up with the upcoming nerfs to healing and buffs to grievous wounds, and how will Aatrox perform while he is not fed?

I hope I did get my point across rather clearly: The build looks solid, yet I think it's very situational, maybe even matchup-dependant. The Grasp runes will do well into duels, but won't carry their weight in teamfights (at least I believe so) as much as Conqueror runes would.

Bid you a great day and upcoming new year, as well as to anyone reading this!

I saw the day before this build on stream and it was BROKEN 1111 hp from a basic atk... Definetely ill try it thanks for the awesome guides <3
