Today, let's talk about a league of legends champion that has a very interesting history, Aatrox. He is really the only champion that was ever removed or deleted from league of legends. Even though he was broken and an op champion for season 10 to climb ranked, that doesn't mean he deserves the treatment to be removed. I love the aatrox rework and I think aatrox is one of the best top laners to climb with in season 10, but not everyone feels that way in league of legends...

1st champion riot ever removed forgets about galios existence just like everyone else
@@ihavethisforgiveawaysyes7408
Galio still has a taunt, a gale, a teamfight ult (albeit global now) and the dash is just his old movespeed buff modernized to be a little more interesting and also faster, because mobility meta. If anything he resembles his previous iteration more than other reworks have.
@@ihavethisforgiveawaysyes7408 Poppy and Sión were complete new champs
A few days ago I had an enemy top laner Aatrox give up first blood to my top laner. His first comments were "Why did i not revive?" I feel bad for him to this day.
Haha, this hurt so much, I just came back to the game after maining aatrox from release to mid season 7 when I quit, was super confused with post-rework, and then ult-f4'd when i didn't revive.
I rejoined LoL about 2 weeks ago after not playing for about 3 or 4 years. I kept in touch with the new releases and reworks (some reworks made me come back and I expect good things from Fiddlestick's rework) and although I knew Aatrox had been reworked, I was actually really surprised he didn't revive anymore, I thought to myself, there must be a special features or maybe a combo ... SOMETHING that made him revive but nope it's gone. I never played him before but that just felt weird, I was so used to him reviving that to me it feels like they ripped him from his core identity.
@@DauragonC.Mikado I agree man, just returned to LoL to see the changes Riot made, and it will never be the same LoL I used to play. Luckily some heroes like Mundo still have similar old kit, which Riot should not do changes too much. Kinda killing the returning players who do not have much time to invest in re-learning new combos
This happened to me too I was so sad
Joseph Ryan lol “ult-f4”
Are you like an alternate reality version of Toast, who says “ult” like “alt”?
His nerf is the same as his lore. Betrayed for once he ascended through ranks only to be dragged back into the abyss.
Underrated comment
Take your meds
Aatrox released a few days after I started playing League. He was the first champion I ever bought for my account. For years I played him, from season 3 to season 7 he was most most played champion and I maintained a 60% winrate on him. When Riot "reworked" him, it felt like an old friend had died. Rest in peace, buddy. I still miss you terribly.
It's tragic, isn't it? I hate the new Aatrox and I don't even main him. New champ design is becoming so horrible to play against. Sett with his disgusting kit, Senna with hers.. I'm still waiting for a new Yauo/Riven/Zed level skill champ. Ones that can kill you and make you think "Damn, nice (out)play!" instead of just clicking you and press 1 or 2 buttons and you're dead.
@@creaketh old aatrox was so fun this one feels terrible even tho i mained him for like 2 seasons and was pretty good at him, completely stopped playing the champion and tbh nobody plays him and i think his pick rate will keep on decreasing because of how broken champions they are adding to the game sett viego seraphine senna when she is ahead gwen etc
@@mehmetabdullah250 Yep riot only cares about money now
Feel you
I still miss old Aatrox, his gameplay now I'd horrible, Is like a beat down cheap riven, just that everything is worse
Aatrox was literally murdered. I miss his revive, life steal signature, his philosophical quotes!
This was such a unique champion!
Except he still has all of those just not his revive?
@@2g4u56 nah man his original lines/quotes were far better before. Riot did Aatrox no justice
Riot Murdered every champion I have Mained since the Beginning. Old Soraka Top, Old Yorick, Old Galio, Old Kayle. I had over 60-75% winrate on those champs. The Reworks completely changed their playstyle. I liked the Old Aatrox once I managed to understand how to play him. From a Blood Thirst to Go in flash pop ult and become maniac auto attacking, kiting and playing arround W. To a Clumsy stuck in animation Flanking Champ.
@@MartinBuzon i play the game since season 2 and i like all the champion updates mostly beacause they made them more difficult to play. Like almost all of their champ updates made the champs more demanding and i think this makes it a good change.
@@user-dy9bi8vd4i Making them more difficult to play doesn't mean, changing the whole concept of the champion and what makes them fun to play.... Please try to be reasonable.
Me: I want to play aatrox
Riot: We have aatrox at home
BROO THAT JOKE IS SO CLEVER
I don't get it
Aatrox at home:
When I see people that cant use 1% of their brain in league I laugh just like you guys who cant play the new aatrox who isnt really that complicated you guys just are bad I guess
@@ermindedic3706 its just not as fun or the same as the champ released lmao
DontRemakeAatrox has not played League of legends since the aatrox rework.
:(
That's so sad :c
I was also an Aatrox main I quit for 2 years came back this season 9 but the joy is never the same
i did the same.
Don't blame him
What hurts to me the most, was the lie. They stated they were simply going to change his e and q and perhaps give him a better model...and then they changed his entire gameplay loop and his voice and everything...this was stated on the forum.
They wanted to keep his resurrect but it was too much of a problem in terms of balance. But the still changed almost everything
@@user-uv6qu3wb5d I'm not even talking about his resurrect. That was just the straw that broke the camels back.
@@shadows_star yeah
@@user-uv6qu3wb5d they kept nothing . Just made a new champ and slapped the name Aatrox over it ... sad .
Yeah they were totally fucking dishonest. They just said they were gonna scrap his entire kit, but they fucked his lore, they fucked his voice, they fucked his model, they fucked his personality, they fucked everything. Fucking assholes.
The only thing that carried over from my old Aatrox, to the new one is Mastery 7. It doesn’t even say i got it from old Aatrox. RIP
I have more mastery with Aatrox than most of his mains, and haven't played him since the removal of Aatrox in favor of Boris.
Honestly , I don't understand why Riot don't reset masteries in these situations like come on. I look like a noob with new AA.
Same here.... also an attrox main ....easy kill for yasuo way back time......but they nerfed him alot....miss his q like malphite. Ss..
Same for me with Mordekaiser. First champ I got to M5 when he was a botlaner.
Aatrox went from:
"Look how I massacre this boy" to
"Look how they massacred my poor boy"
Maybe if RITO would just apply a movespeed debuff during his Q cast instead of rooting him and reduce both cd and lifesteal from his E for balancing, maybe he wouldn't be so god damn awful. I too am sad that Aatrox is no longer what he once was.
NMG 11 Yea I agree ;(
@@NMG.11 Go back to how his Q cd worked, Give back his E stacks and this champ is good imo.
NMG 11 Aatrox right now is al but awful. If you play him well to the point of almost scripting, he can still be God-Tier.
Aatrox from devil may cry to devilman crybaby he lost all his identity
Once Zilean gets reworked, I want a new game mode called "Time Warped Rift" or something, where you can play old champs, buy removed items, see the old map... Yep.
There's a project called chronoshift, you can play champs even from beta. Riot said they don't want to make something like that because of the code of the game, when people in their free time can do it? Bullshit.
@@darkskyxgames Well, that's interesting🤔
We can forget about it, its like budget thinking, lets only look at pro play and keep it balanced.. sigh just sell riot games
@@darkskyxgames well it’s illegal. Literally.
@@Korrupted_dust its a fan project. i doubt they make any money from it
Every time League has a "Help Us Improve" option on the home screen, I always tell them to bring back old Aatrox, even if it has to be a new champion with his old mechanics.
Xortaa
doesn't that just mean you love his kit more than the champ itself? I wasn't able to play old aatrox but his kit looks overpowered
@@hotboat7054it's not op it's surprisingly balanced because you'll suck if you don't know what your doing unlike Samira
@@WhoAgain126honestly the new champ Briar looks a little similar
@@tristanbryan3067 yeah but she is a little different, she doesnt sacrifice life for combat and has to be changing between life steal/more damage, she is more about think when to enter with berserk and killing everything
the aatrox struggle always reminds me of what happened to twisted treeline. Riot made zero changes for 3 years to the gamemode, wondered why playerbase for it kept dropping, then removed it
The worst thing they did to Aatrox is giving him some love before killing him off and replacing him.
The firstlove after 5 year too.
@@nabkill0134 yup before that aatrox was good only in season 3 atleast jungle aatrox back then was op as shit still my favorite jungler
Faker even played him professionally just few weeks before the rework I think. I was even thinking of buying Aatrox right then and there
felt like a breakup to aatrox fans like myself... I remember 2016-2017 I loved aatrox that I played him more than 37 games in a row
people would not have been that mad had they not fixed him before ruining him again.
i would still complain though as i really liked him.
everyone gangsta untill the deer from summoners' rift start talking
tru
ok eu ri disso
I laughed so hard at this comment lmao
Trick2g : thats the deer !!!
André da Costa tru tru
You know the crazy part about all of this is they could add old Aatrox and it would still make sense in the lore. They might have to change some voice lines but since he turn their bodies and corrupts them he could technically just be two different time periods or two different people. Plus that would be really interesting in my opinion if they did that
"And now they have given us rhaast"
Varus: "am I a joke to you?"
Old Varus lore was simply amazing, now is ok but couldn't just be "Varus took the bow hidden in the ionian temple and awoke the Darkin?" why changing it so much, now his lore makes no sense with who he was
they recycled Varus, because they're lazy to create another darkin to fill the five darkins role.
@@thomas86800 That's not a bad idea, Varus has a bow, that's enough, only that his history was altered stupidly, the "guy that protected Ionia" was amazing, he stand against his enemies who killed his people and his only option was to use the darkin bow. When Varus was confirmed to be a Darkin that was amazing too, I remember thinking WOW THEN VARUS WAS TAKING CARE OF A DARKIN WEAPON WITHOUT KNOWING IT
But now two hunters that were dying... that makes no sense, old Varus had control of the darkin powers, now it's really confusing, what is Varus doing at the moment in Runeterra? what are his goals?
Old Varus was better
@@nicolasarroyo1746 because you make those questions, it confirms that everything Riot did after Aatrox remake about darkins was wrong. making them weapons and then recycling champions.
lets be real, they was lazy, they also needs woke content. like Aatrox, Varus was just another victim.
ironically varus needs a rework now cause his passive name and his w and r actually dont make any sense to his lore character, not to mention he vaulted in his lore (mobile adcs are usually cancer but still give the man his dues)
Old Aatrox mains: he exist only in my memory now
I'm crying sooooooooooo badly for the old one
dude I fell you too. The OG Aatrox was my most played champ ... Never liked the rework tbh. AND HE LOST HIS DAMN WINGS HAAAAAAAA
i mained aatrox before the rework, its sad that with the old aatrox gone, i feel like the league is not the same anymore :(
I remember good old days when I could solo dragon with him at lvl 2
The most sad thing about it was that just before the rework, he was very good. He was top tier at toplane if i'm right and a good pick in competitive play. So basically, just when he actually worked and was good from a long time of being kinda shit, they just nah lets rework. Donghuap made a video about the Aatrox rework where he mentioned this and talks about it more.
Exil is that guy in class that everyone wants to have in their presentation group
LOL
Lol that's so true
True
TRUE xD
"Today well be holding s Presentation about World War 2 but first id like to talk about Pro Guides"
Man I loved Aatrox on release. That lifesteal/damage w change was the best. Now he’s just someone that we used to know
I remember hearing his voiceover, and then "Where is the art? why is he just screaming while in the past he was very polite? why no Trynda interactions? It's ok he is very angry due to Twilight aspect locking him away, but old one was unique, he just turn the tides of some wars while being a total gentleman with his quotes
I feel his personality was similar to Jhin, but Aatro wasn't that crazy, he was amazing, his dark flight was WOW he literally crashed at the enemies.
I was literally waiting for a pool party skin where he uses his wings as some big signs, as hinted in one splash art, but until today we got nothing, just garbage skins for him that literally are all the same, worst victorious
I can't say I hate new Aatro, but I really miss the old one
Same here my bud. I cant understand why new ver is so argressive and screams so much, but the old one is just badass
They are interactions with trynd
Aatrox was no longer aatrox
He became QQQtrox
Q-E-W-Q-Aa-Q-Aatrox
LRDK hahahahhaha I want his revive back that was what made him aatrox
Da Arkus more like W Q E Q Q
Auto Attack = AA + troxx = aatrox will always be remembered 2020 happy new year🎆
Ur right they should've change the name to qqtrox
Well if you use the azerty keyboard. It is AAtrox
''and hes pretty balanced right now''
*you hear hashinshin crying in the distance*
More like screaming
hashinshin sometimes makes solid criticism of the game but he goes way overboard most of the time tbh
@@diegoseba12 He's not meant to even be in diamond lmao he deserves silver.
Chode ???
@@steviejrr ???
18:14 "So, where does this leave us now?" Nowhere. For me, Aatrox just doesn't have a identity anymore. When I was a kid and saw my brother scrolling through the champions page, and i saw old Aatrox and 10 year old me was like: DUUUDE THAT CHARACTER IS SO COOOL, I WANT TO PLAY WITH HIIIIIM! And now, when 13 year old me saw the rework announcement, i was overwhelmed with joy. "I waited so long for this!" I said. And then, days before my 14th birthday, he arrived. And i almost cried. What i was seeing, just wasn't Aatrox. It was just some generic skill based champ that Riven mains would play. That cold personality of old Aatrox, thinking of war as some form of art, was just incredible. And just like that, it's gone. Then they turn him into a rage machine, just like Tryndamere or Sion. I loved old Aatrox's kit, loved the self heal/ Hp for damage play style. "They did good with every other rework, why would they mess up now....?" i said. In later patches, i saw his revive removed. And i just, stopped playing. I didn't even care anymore. Then, i never played League of Legends ever since. They just destroyed the only champion i truly liked. And, like you said, he will never come back. Rest in peace Aatrox, the only champion i ever mained in League of Legends. Sorry for the long text, and to whoever sees this, have a good day.
Brother ❤️
How can a complete stranger so perfectly express how I feel? I too haven't played since the rework ..... disgusted, disappointed to the core, I walked away. By random youtube chance did I stumble upon this video, only to find a kindred spirit. Glad to see my boy is remembered. Good day to you too, Sir
Completely agree bro
I felt this way about Galio
@@nautilume7114 you were a old galio otp? 😮
I can hear pantheon's celestial laughter a miles away..
Aatrox was actually viable,after having never been, right before rework, this is peak irony
Because his numbers were high af
He was more fun and balanced then he is right now. He sucks right now, tanks beat him, mages beat him, ranged champions beat him. Picking any other bruiser is better then picking aatrox.
@@TheUnholybringer hes fun though
@@Key.Fantasy thats his only upside..if you sre looking to climb i wouldnt recommend him unless you are as good as hashinshin on him or in low elo
So was old aatrox :p

I will never forget when Aatrox came out. I was playing him all day, full crit, attack spead and lifesteal😂. Those were good days. From time to time I come here to watch this video and remember pre-reworked Aatrox :/
Unfortunately, you cannot do builds like those because even morons with no idea how to build characters can oneshot you with support champs because of how high the base damage is and if you go up against actually dangerous champion - full offence old Aatrox person would die before finishing the Q animation.
The first champ I main became the last champ I want to play
Aatrox to riot: "You won't let me live...
you won't let me die!"
That's actually his lore after rework lol ironic
CG-Blight that is literally the exact opposite of ironic.
He still lives in our hopes and dreams. There is a chance for him to come back, even if it is a small chance. Maybe not as Aatrox, but as the 4th darkin.
I hope so, if they want to preserve the actual champion named aatrox i just ask them to fine another mame and give me my old legend back
@@briancastiglione3887 name him St'Aatrix hahahaha Void-based Darkin lol. Name fits the Kai'Sa development well.
I’m thinking maybe the new bruiser champ will be like old Aatrox
@@briancastiglione3887 it will really hurt me... but you are right
Wait did they literally remove him from the game?
This is all gone end up with the lore reasoning that attrox' fighting style changes depending on who wields he blade, and then they are gonna make him like some weird Mokujin where every time you play him he uses a random "form", except based on all his different versions instead on "other characters"
I find this video really interesting because I started playing league recently. Aatrox(rework) was one of the first champs that caught my eye and one of the first I picked up. I loved him and now he is one of my favorite champs in every aspect(lore, voice lines, model and splash, gameplay), but he's so removed from the people who he really belonged to.
The thing I miss the most about old aatrox is hash saying "unstoppable btw"
RubenAMaster i used to be friends with hash lol
@@harryosborne8215 nobody asked
@@brave1 why so mean
I literally started the game on Aatrox. The third week after his original release (his free-to-play week). This was, of course, back when new players had the same free champion pool as everyone else. As soon as I had the IP to, I bought him. I proceeded to play him almost exclusively because he was incredibly unique and had a playstyle I adored. I was overjoyed when they put out the mini-rework and made him an amazingly viable champion with almost his entire feel and playstyle intact (I did personally love the health-throttling aspects that got taken out). After they put out the full rework, I tried to keep playing Aatrox, but ended up stopping completely, and eventually stopped playing top lane almost entirely. I just don't have a fighter/bruiser with a playstyle that fits me anymore.
RIP Galio, a champion who was also removed but unlike Aatrox has been completely forgotten. Really miss dominating mid mages with him by healing off their damage. He kept nothing from his old kit, unless you consider his new taunt comparable to his old R which it definitely isn't. Old Galio fit a nice niche, new Galio is just meh. Of course, with the current items old Galio might've been too op.
Old galio was my second favorite champ ever
Galio doesn't even look the same anymore, not remotely
"Are you getting ganked in your own lane?"
As opposed to...?

counter ganking and pre lane ganking. f*cking xins

Getting ganked while in your mid's lane. Get back top, Darius

Mordekaiser: Remember when I had ghost slaves?
I'm mad at the title of this video. Morde did not need to be touched, and people need to remember.
@@in_vas_por8810 Mordekeiser was a bad rework, yes. He did keep a lot of his identity though, and I don't think they could ever balance the ghost on a new champion. He was my second most played toplaner after Aatrox ironically, and now Voli is being reworked too :')
@@Aldoz Bro you can tell if you had played the old Morde he is now a completely different champion and has nothing of the old one that made him fun, that's why Mid Mordekaiser doesn't play him anymore. Although I have to admit he did feel like one of those champions that is either really weak or completely broken depending on his buffs
@@in_vas_por8810 I agree
@@hylash5444 800K Old Mordekaiser here :c
I still cant wrap my head around why they scrapped the "Whipsword" that made him so iconic...
They could have fixed his kit by:
-Making his Ult Autos AOE (kinda like twitch, but in a cone)
-Make his old Q work like Galios current E
No he was perfect. The golden age was after his passive rework when they introduced the stacks but still nerfed into oblivion. You really had to think and know every matchups. Only thing is that he should have been invincible while in the air as he jumped.
@@Sul_Shadw i would not call it golden age, as it only lasted a month. Also, he climbed from being the worst toplaner to being the absolute best toplaner in a single patch, due to changes toTitanic Hydra. (This is not a good sign for champions health)
But yes, there was absolutely no reason for them to literally delete the champion. The Aatrox rework could also have been a completely new champion and no one would have complained.
The old Aatrox had his problems tho, especially when i try to imagine him in the current meta with the new items.
All he needed were small adjustments, and maybe a new E.
@@ButterNuss. The golden age I refer to is the period after patch 7.5-6 till the season 8 where Aatrox became popular, it lasted about 5 month or more I think. I am not really sure how the Titanic buff happened as I stopped playing league before that and only came back in 2019 when I discovered Aatrox didn't existed anymore. After this, I stopped playing league and couldn't find another champ to otp so I have no idea about the current state of the game and the new items.
Imao the E was fine, it provided not only a poke but an engage(and an escape, negligible but still). And allowed for an alternative poke/burst strat if maxed first(not my play style though). To me only the Q need a adjustment as written in my previous comment
Aatrox has a special place in my heart since he was the first champ i ever picked
everybody gangsta til the summoners rift deer start talking
BRUH
LMAO
LMAOO xD

I'll remember The Aatrox as one of my best experiences 👍👍
We all will remember our sweet prince.
I mean technically he still says that line
This battle will be my masterpiece...
Aatrox revive was so broken it had to be remov- given to another champion that will make riot a lot of money
Breaks my heart, I still remember the first time I played aatrox. At first just in love with his theme and aesthetic, but after hours of playing I fell in love with the bastard son of riot and I've never been able to have the same feeling with the new Aatrox...
Old aatrox:" fight and be remembered as a hero..."
New aatrox:" COME"

New Aatrox: **The cries of an angry russian on mass amounts of cocaine**
As someone who played Aatrox before the rework, they should've just released the rework as a new champion.
DEAL
Can we revert Aatrox and put the rework as a new champ called Boris?
I agree that aatrox helped me bear over confident Warwicks that came outa the wood work as soon as he updated.
I was main of old Aatrox. Now after 3 years i have the same mastery points as i had before rework bcs this new Aatrox is just trash.
Riot could literally revert Aatrox and make a new champ and say "Oh yeah this guy that feels just like new Aatrox is someone who managed to escape Aatrox's grasped or something lmao"
im so happy you made this video, nobody ever talks about how good S8 Aatrox really was. I remember my friends telling me it was the troll pick but i actually learned how to play it and showed them he was top pick. Nice vid dude.
Just watching this vid about aatrox just made me missed the old him, I can totally agree that he was already perfect back then for so many year of being neglected by riot and made him a full rework that only made me far more even sad for aatrox
*Condolences for our great old friend Aatrox, only real LOL player will remember the Real existence of you*
He literally had 3 mains
I feel for the Aatrox fans. I felt this way when Mordekaiser got reworked. I miss the ghost dragon to this day
yeah they shouldve kept the enemy champ ghost on as part of his current ult, mostly because after he ults its just the same buff as trundle
@Bruh Momentum riot games is all about money now

Them olds Kits where my absolute otp Champs i basicly only played them prerework. Now i never Play them cuz the new mit is so much less fun..
Tahm Kench
Imagine an Aatrox main from season 4 coming back at season 9, literally my first reaction was:"Wtf happened to him its totally different".....
that happend to me, but i love the rework
@@juanmanuelvelasaldivar7888 it's not that I hate the rework the problem is that I loved the old kit and they didn't tweak it but they totally deleted it.
that is what happend to me
@Spark at least volibear somehow resembles his older self, the new Aatrox only resemble the old one by his red/black color palette, nothing else.
Wtf riot fix your game this is bugging so much
I'm not a lol player, I am a dota player. But LOL champs design has took my heart. But after watching this video, I feel pitty for Aatrox and Aatrox mains. But he is so cool, he would make a great villian.
I like playing both games
i liked the old aatrox in the jungle. i actually played him for quite some time after his release. the sustain in the jungle was awesome, the clearpseed was decent and the ganks were good aswell with his q gap closing knockup and his slow
Exil : No other champion has received this many changes
Riot : Hold my Angry blue boi!!!
I hear about they want to rework him again.
It's like a yearly blue boi update
@@alexgeorge1421 They should, he's one of the lest skill expressive mid lane carries atm. Just go E+Q and melt the entire enemy team in teamfights.

Better nerf Irealia
The old Yorick who wasn’t even on free rotation: •_•
You still have a champ that "summons" something and deals most damage with
Crusty Doodlesack I remember that I had been playing for almost 1 year when I first saw a Yorick. Didn’t even knew what his abilities did
New Yorick still has similiarish playstyle and theme. Same with Karma btw. Aatrox rework was literally turning Tryndamere into Riven.
@@alephviga645 so elise is yorick, got kt
@@va11ejo funny thing about old Yorick is that all his abilities used to do the same thing, while being low counterplay ones. Probably old Yorick is THE worst designed champion of the game. He still was kinda fun because of it lol
I remember playing support nami, nunu, blitz with my buddy playing aatrox "adc" 1 month pre rework.
We rocked duo queue and got from gold 4 to plat 2. Best memories ever. Not long after the rework we havent played since.
Reminds me of my first main, Galio. I was upset with the rework and how my old Anti-mage main got thrown away.
Just one of the many reasons i havent touched this game in about 5 years.
It still hurts so bad, man. Thank you for this video. I'm pouring one out for you, Aatrox!
I remember my first time just getting into league. A friend of mine was gushing over champs I should try. Going on and on about people like garen, yasuo, gnar at the time. And all the while I simply pointed on the roster list and said "and who's this?" Her reply was "oh that's aatrox. He looks cool but hes actually really bad and not played at all" from that day forth I grinded the points needed to unlock aatrox for free and quickly proceeded to get my ass handed to me on a silver platter. I lost a lot. And I learned a lot. As the years went on I became an aatrox main. Every intricacy of his kit I learned to master. And people loved and hated me for what I was able to do with a garbage champion. He is to this day the highest champion with mastery on my account. If I ever come back to league I will make a new account as to not tarnish the record that aatrox holds on my original account. Old aatrox will forever be my favorite champion league ever made me. Sorry for the long read.
Feels bad man. I too played old aatrox a lot. Now, its nerfed to the point that it isnt even playable and its just way too boring. They didnt keep anything of what made old aatrox so fun to play like diving onto the entire team and pressing R to heal for a ridiculous amount and never actually die thanks to the awesome lifesteal when u were a bit fed... really miss old aatrox.
"And people loved and hated me for what I was able to do with a garbage champion" The feels man
I would like to correct this isnt Aatrox, this is QQQtrox the elo ender, when the rework drop a lot of aatrox mains actually write riot a ticket to remove their mastery points including my hard earned 670k as a protest. This could be said the worst rework riot actually did, in fact this rework is so bad this makes the poppy rework look fantastic. I believe this is the rework was done while they are are smoking bong that they are so high and stupid when they designed it. Aatrox used to be a very good initiator/hypercarry now he is just a stupid hit or miss cc fighter that can be fully counter by a 900 gold item. Pre rework aatrox culls Olaf's ass but now olaf walks over him and ignore 100% off his kit
Same story here lol
RIP when Aatrox was released I just came back from camp with my highschool. Once we were home we all Skyped and played a game man I loved release aatrox it was awesome
i just discovered your channel bro and all i have to say is good job !
I loved the Old Aatrox, in fact he was first ever champion I ever played when first playing League of Legends and when I look back at it, I always wish to play my Aatrox just for one more day. I'll even play Aatrox if I ever get my first chance in the big league.
I used to play him before the rework, I loved it and when I saw his rework, I felt terrible for the mains that were finally happy
I was just thinking yesterday how I found the character's lore really cool back when I started playing and wondering if anybody still played him. Guess not 😬
I think he is cooler after the rework to be honest, but I it is a feels bad that Champs you love playing all the time gets changed and don't feel right anymore
Same as my swain
Bro he got so many changes but nobody said he is not playable as old tommorow i will go attack speed crit damagr and damage and see if it works
@@yusufh7278 especially now he feels weak. the only times it was strong was on release because of the revive and when they gave him a mini rework in season 9 in the end they removed more of his kit. i really don't like his new q just my opinion, easily can be dodged and weak spots do no damage
when you said the next documentary was about aatrox in your q&a i didn't expect this so soon lol
hahha well here it is! Hope you enjoy!
Its cus when you hear Aatrox you're used to waiting a long time
@@alvaroesteche9917 lolol
Old aatrox is better than the latest one.
This brings me back. I used to play the first Aatrox version champion and it was cool. I want him back.
The old Aatrox... I still miss him to that day...
Aatrox: i wanna use my blood for abilities
Riot: no
Haven't played league in months
I almost got a heart attack thinking aatrox literally got removed
i mean he kinda did.
God same i really enjoy his rework and he is super fun to play
BubbleHasAProblem yeah I agree his new kit is so fun. It’s really sad cause I want to be able to play the old one as well as the reworked one but that will never happen
Me too I was about to rage I love that champ
BubbleHasAProblem just play riven you uncultured post rework players. Old aatrox was the shit and now he’s just edgy riven.
I love meaty intros, and that was a dense 4 minute intro. Good shit, subbed
When the elemental dragons were first added to the game, I used to love jungling Aatrox and trying to get as many dragons as possible before elder spawned since he could do it at lvl 2 pretty easily. I got him to mastery 7 and this was before his changes that made him good. Since his rework I haven't played him and he sits in my mastery 7s as that champ that I've literally never played.
Shoutout to the old Aatrox Mains” He shall always be remembered
I was one
I played it and still miss it. Aatrox now is terrible
I missed old aatrox :(
Still hoping for riot to revert the rework or release a new champ with the same/similar kit
He's always loved and never forgotten

@@97fez Thanks. Also, ggs on MHW. Great game.
@@c4nvm hey thanks :)
I started playing at season 3 and my favorite champ by far was Gragas. I loved everything about it. I was so mad when they've changed it. I remember the day Aatrox was released. I played it immediately. It was like love at first sight. I liked its appearance, skills etc. and he had the feature that I probably like most in league which is self-healing (the health costs for the skills were very annoying tho). I liked his w and r so much. But, as mentioned in the video, he was not that strong and pros were not playing it (but I was playing because the feeling of the champ was so satisfying for me especially the build with botrk and some life steal items.). Soon after the release he was forgotten. I stopped playing the game around the end of season 6 i guess and never seen that Aatrox has become "the dream Aatrox" and never heard of it. Then I started playing again a couple of mounths ago (and of course i had to relearn the game, this game changes so much wtf). When i saw the new Aatrox I was so mad again. They changed him so much. He isn't even an auto-attack based champ anymore, passive changed etc... Then I find this video and learned that my dream Aatrox has become real before the change and I couldn't play it and probably never will be able to play... This is sad.
loved Aatrox so much, he was my first LoL champ I ever play and I started playing on his release. Even tho I didnt know how to play the game and feed enemy teams a lot, he felt so powerful and cool, he was my reason to keep playing the game
Do you guys think Aphelios will be as hard to balance as Aatrox seems to be over the years?
Yeah, I think so.
No
his kit is so awkward that i dont know how he will be balanced
He’s gonna be the most broken mofo of all time:
Yeah .I expect him to dominate and to get gutted 3 months in.
"Most neglected champ..."
Someone clearly hasn't seen the history of Old Yorick.
And the history of old urgot
old poppy?? someone?
@@mysticaldevotion863 You made me remember i loved old Poppy, but i can understand how she's quiet similar. To me Sion was also removed from the game though, but maybe that was because i was only playing him full ap.
I miss the "every champ can go full ap days"
Old yorick has qwe ghoul spam. Rito changed it all so they dont give stat effects and just do pure dmg. Its called his passive. He can still 100 to 0 u like the old days with spawning ghouls.
Aatrox kept NOTHING
Old urgot was just a failure. Literally deleted RIP old urgot mains. They got a new champion like aatrox. They tried to keep his shield. But its basically a new champ
I loved old aatrox, i cant remember for sure but playing him in the Jungle with Skirmishers Sabre - devourer, BotK, and Titanic Hydra lead to some of my favorite memories of league. He was so much fun to play.
I realized in the video it shows a very similar build, maybe it was the meta build for him. Regardless it was peak LoL for me.
the intro speech... i just can't take it... and it's not even a champ i play besides when i'm feeling funky
You'll never be forgotten... old king
Technically, Kog'Maw was also removed once with a patch, they accidentely deleted him from the game files xD
lol
there was also gangplank when he died lmao
@@haruharaharuko1222 was more like a forced vacation
Technically, this whole premise of video is a lie.
Its not a first time they removed a champion.
What about Sion? He was a juggernaut with huge boost to autoattack and no mobility *at all*. They turned him into full tank with hints of juggernaut.
Mordekaiser? He was a undead lord who enslave souls and turn them directly against enemy.
And looking from another approach, Gangplank? He was literally removed from the game for lore reasons.
No. Aatrox isn't only champ removed from the game.
@@TGCitizen sions still has the "gains health by killing" still has a shield that explodes and still has CC on Q even though it is applied differently
Gangplank still deals DoT with his passive, fires a gun with his Q, heals with his W and his ult is the same as the original one, only instead of being an area where random balls fall, it affects a the complete area
Morde still has an area of metal surrounding him that gives MS, a Q that empowers his mace to deal damages even though now is a skillshot, he still has passive shield, but now he has to rise them instead of just getting it for free and his ult still is a "point and click enjoy your life 'cause now you are dead"
The saddest moment I witnessed in my life was when the french streamer Yoonns was asked if he would like the old Aatrox to come back and he answered : Every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every year do I wish for the old Aatrox to come back.
Zeekee you’re a lucky kid
Wow so sad
C’est triste 😔
(For context) : Yoonns payed so much of the old Aatrox he was at 692 553 points on him the day before his rework. He played him full crit and had a move called the "Spéciale Yoonns" which was when he killed using the aoe of his ult.
I really like your style of editing!
From a cool Deity of War with a deep meaning over the tragic poetry of conflict... to an edgy demon capable only of screaming.
Same with Swain, from " Military captain " to edgy bird man. I hate the new lore for him, same for my old crab man Urgot.
@@yuribrandi8212 Old Swain lore is still there though. New Swain still has it.
Bro how ignorant are you holy shit
Wow if this is really your opinion you dont know shit about aatrox new lore
Its like a 100 times better
You probably watched the skin spotlight version which didnt include like 90% of his voice lines
th-cam.com/video/gLfxBMc-7j4/w-d-xo.html
Listen to this
basically:
a rework turn Aatrox into a undead riven and now the cummunity think the real Aatrox is dead
manga reader executioner Glp os that you? Xd
Cummunity
Cummunity sounds like the name if a really interesting porno
@Baxi Tabaxi lol is that really how bad Aatrox is now?
I'm thinking about buying him and using him in rank.
Aatrox is fine atm, pretty solid mid game bruiser
Renamed my Aatrox rune page "discount Riven" when he was reworked
Budget riven haha
More like better riven
@@marcocheng2736 Good meme.
No matter how u look at aatrox u can say that he is stronger than riven but we all know that riven is better champion to main then aatrox
like old aatrox wasnt knock off jax
Worst part is newer players don't see him as a battle-loving berserker, rather a methodical fighter with the way his skills work
Like some patient swordsman, but he is anything _BUT_ patient..
5:29 it's funny looking at their reasons for nerfing aatrox back then, and then seeing the absolute state of tanks/bruisers now
Riot employee: Lets release a darkin!
Riot HQ: There is Aatrox
Who's Aatrox?
I just dont get the joke
It's because it's a completely different champion and they could have made... well... a completely new champion instead of reworking Aatrox
@@helios1087 Renekton and Nasus? 😂
@@a.arrondel6379 Nasus is an ascended, Renekton is an ascended made mad by Xerath. The darkins are ascended who have been corrupted by the void.
Remember when Mordekaiser was able to ult the dragon and was basically a self-healing machine?
An indirect tank,the old times....
I m crying because I like new morde but because its morde I don't like it.Its funny
I mean, his ult was fucking bugged. And i mean fucked.
Not sure why remove that tho, the rework looks good but the kit is kind of basic in comparison.
I like the new Morde but i loved old Morde for his ult....
Huehuehuehuehue.
REVERT MORDEKAISER PLS
*completely overhauls a champion because he's not fun to play against.
*releases samira
Samira is a money maker
Old School Aatrox with full atk speed runes was so much fun. RIP to the legend
Riot needs to make a game mode where its like the opposite of PBE, and you go back to previous season's to play champions how they were made and updated over the course of the seasons.
I truly think a lot of people would enjoy this.
facts 🤝🏻
They should do a weekly rotation of the old season and everytime they get to the start again they do another patch of the seasons.
I would honestly love that. I want to see an old Poppy/Karma botlane.
They'd never do that as it would split the league community
They've admitted that the game's code is too dogshit to have a mode that brings back old characters and that they don't keep older builds of the game.
bro that dude with the name "DontRemakeAatrox", poor soul predicted it
Everyone knew it, it was on the road map
A lot of people cover that guy he was begging on reddit that they do not rework Aatrox
@@acidgolem2132 curious, any updates on the guy?
Uncanny Cancer the guy quit the game immediately after he play a few game of the new Aatrox
They called old aatrox Trash this guy Mains him in high Elo
I feel the same way about Taric. I loved his old auras, huge teamfight healing and stacking aura items. Now he does a bunch of magic damage instead and has a gimmicky ult. Very watered down in comparison to what he once was.
I remember buying the Mecha skin because it was basically playing Jehuty from ZotE. I didn't even like Aatrox, but after grinding my expertise I started dominating on Diamond.
Old Aatrox was such a difficult glass cannon, with his shitty cc'able Q, his amazing E, and that heal/dmg proc. It forced you to take so many decisions while always on the thin line, dealing insane damage and avoiding death with a well timed W...
The rework totally ruined the champ. It was one of those hidden gems nobody cared to play at decent Elo, but I got so much better as an overall player, because I learned so much about both macro/micro just by struggling to figure out how to make him competitive...
I still miss this elegant, poised, mysterious swordsman that viewed battle as an art form. From his dialogue to his animations, poses- everything. I personally loved the old design purely from an aesthetic standpoint and his identity as a character was totally annihilated. The way his old sword bent and stretched and pulsed to this big, heavy, blunt greatsword. From elegant to brutish. Calm to rage-fueled. I’m still so salty about this.
I feel like if they ever went back and showed Aatrox before he became a darkin, he’d be like his old self in his swordstyle and traits.
The mere fact that they'd let an intern work for his victorious skin is already a major neglect
Agreed
Wait they did?
Not a huge problem, I dont see how being an intern makes you a worse artist than somebody else. Riot is always hiring different artists to work on different pieces of work, like Kienan Lafferty or Annino who are constantly working on and off with rito.
@@sunburn8273 The problem is that it's literally just Justicar Aatrox glorified.
Gabriel Ables wait what? Is this true? Than that sucks
feels bad man now weve just got 2 rivens
As a 'Old Aatrox' main it truly is a dark day coming bacc to LoL after being gone for a few years only to find aatrox isnt even aatrox , from his kit to his visuals , truly unfortunate...
Meanwhile, Singed is just farting all over the rift.
Still a unique champ that can be strong in his own right. :P
And they also removed his war crimes...
Whats wrong with singed?!
He doesnt need a rework, the rework He got for his passive really made him feel great and didnt make choose between spending gold on a useless stat or having No passive.
Singed is in a great spot and honestly shouldnt ever need a rework, only balance changes.
@@semurobo Bruh, I'm literally a singed player.
@@Ariverfish so am I, He might Not be in the best spot in the current Meta, but thats simply how is kit functions, Sometimes He does very well, Sometimes He doesnt.
That doesnt mean He is a badly designed Champion. Champions are supposed to have weaknesses and varying viability.
"The only champion Riot has EVER removed from League of Legends"
Sion: Am I a joke to you?
And morde, and poppy... and many more, to similar or lesser extent.
Sion really needed a rework on his stun, this kind of spell must dissappear however his W was really good :c
@@EniGmav34 I agree he needed a rework, but I really don't get the point of releasing a COMPLETELY different champion (Visually and Skill-wise) with the same name, instead of fixing the original champion and then releasing another champion with a different name.
@@RaulAHdz well at the time those were known as relaunches not reworks. They would keep one or 2 skills/passives and they rest including lore and visual would change. At some put they just stopped using the world probably because ppl didn't like relaunches since they basically delete the old one forever.
old sion would proly still fit into the game since dfg was removed but his AD version with lifesteal ad attack speed would of been nerfed to the ground forsure
I miss my old main. The first character I played, the first one I bought a skin for and the first one that carried me from Bronze to Silver. I miss those days, really sad that they just didn't make the current Aatrox a new champ to begin with
I remember playing and loving Aatrox before he ever hit his sweet spot in the meta and was absolutely enraged when he was reworked into a knockoff riven. RIP fun attack speed Aatrox.
Attack speed! Do you remember how often his W would make noise with guinsoos 😂??
@@tyranmcgrath6871 YESSIR AND IT WAS GLORIOUS. I remember none of my friends even knew aatrox was strong and were making fun of me for Aatrox jung. Suddenly I get "Hey dude play Aatrox I wanna see another 1v4" and honestly after being laughed at for so long I finally had the champion doing what I always think he should've.
I loved the old Aatrox, its voice, its looks, and his old Q, specially when I played it with a Zephyr.
ZEPHYYYYRRRRRR
Hope they bring back zephyr. They did promise a season of item updates.
I always played him as an ad caster. It was delicious
Now we are stuck with Boris, the vodka ender
of course you did cuz that makes faker feel like a beginner bot when ur playing something so broken
