The Aatrox rework is probably one of the most controversial reworks of all time, from people angry about his change of gameplay focus, to people trumpeting the popular opinion that he is a second riven, to those who call him a mediocre pick at best. this is a guide on how to play Aatrox. Not the old Aatrox who is dead and gone, but the new Aatrox, who is a champion who will likely be around for a very long time.

grasp of the undying gives you some extra healing for that one basic attack to apply your passive

demolish is for the split pushing power that Aatrox has in the late game
you can take bone plating if you are taking more damage than you would like to

chrysalis is a god rune on Aatrox because he can use both health and Ad, the health will help you in the laning phase and the Ad will help in the late game

overgrowth is a good rune for the extra health

nimbus cloak synergies's well with you ult

transcendence gives you more of the most important stat for Aatrox, CDR

black cleaver and deaths dance are both core items for Aatrox

spirit visage and titanic hydra are both good because they increase Aatrox's surivability

GA and SG are both items that allow Aatrox to dive into the back line and survive

Aatreox is a very good champion that gets a lot of **** for being not at all similar to his previous incarnation. he is one of the few champions whose base skin looks way cooler then any of his skins. have fun playing the deathbringer!
