I think a lot of the small details for this skin go unnoticed. The different vfx when out of ult and in ult, the way his sword lights up when wielding it versus when it’s on his back, the extra lightning and water effects in the river, vfx on the target if you his sweet spot q, the afterimage effect when u e mid-q. there are a lot of things they could have improved on but there are a lot of subtle things they added to this skin as well.
The thing is, any Legendary on a model past 2016 is gonna seem lackluster 'cause the difference from base is gonna be lesser. It's not a massive improvement like legendaries for champs still on their 2011 skeletons.
You can't really expect much changes from a legendary for more modern reworked/released champions because they already have a lot to offer on their base skins, this is the same case with irelias legendary last year
it doesnt have a respawn animation im sad that my main champ first legendary is this underwhelming same death animation weird walk poor respawn animation they just put it all on his 17 min dialogue
Is this skin out yet? I really hope they make improvements before it is. Aatrox feels like he has so much missed potential in all his skins, it sucks that his best one so far still falls short.
It's out on PBE atm but ofc it's not the "final release", it'll officially release on the 31th of July, if not 1st of August, with it being the final version.
I'm following the development of the skin on the PBE, this video was recorded a long time ago (I believe because skinspotligths take into account the time for edits and the like), the current version of the PBE (which is not the final version) already has numerous improvements, Some of them being the addition of respawn animation and a significant change to the effects while in the river. I also have the impression that they changed his face a little, making it more expressive.
Fr, he starts charging at you one handing his sword like a Feral Eldritch Beast, the 3Q's Is him wildly Swinging his sword with one hand in a Frenzied Rage
If Aatrox was a femboy, or a female character they would've put 1000000 times the effort and reworked it at least once. Just take a look at Yone, Kayn, Ahri, MF. Not to mention Coven Syndra...
@@rex1800 He's the highest pickrate champion in top lane with a pick rate of over double that of the second highest despite only having an average winrate. He's been the poster boy of top lane for years.
He is way too bouncy with it. Deathbringer auto is like he's stabbing jello and that goofy ass walk is annoying. Q animations are whatever, not amazing. I think the only animation I like is the W
I feel it should have taken more of a "be scared of the sword, the guy is just holding it" kind of theme, where a lot of the animations and weight of the skin comes from the sword. Segmented as a callback to his pre-work era, a hole on his back that perfectly matches the sword to indicate that this person is nothing more than a sheath, a holding thing for the sword. Make the animations that require sword swinging be portrayed like the sword is swinging itself and the being attatched is JUST barely following up. In terms of looks, id the person out a little more and add more colors to the blade itself, making it more eye catching. If you can afford to krillin aatrox, you can afford to take away his mouth "but then how will he speak?" Is probably what youre wondering. Hes the sword, just make him put his blade in the ground next to him and have it speak as he crosses his arms stoic and silent. Just realized, this would be much cooler as a champion concept than it would a legendary skin, but i dont have 200 years to learn how many dashes a melee user needs
As an Aatrox main, this doesn't make me anticipated to buy it when it releases. To me, they chosen the worst skin line possible for a character like Aatrox. It should've been a dark star skin if you ask me.
it shoudl have been ascended aatrox or god killer aatrox (maybe a rival skinline with pantheon as the other god killer) much liek god king garen and darius . i don't like dark star as a theme but that too would have been better than this
Anything but this tbh, even infernal maybe. This feels too cartoonish and digital for what Aatrox is. I know there is mecha skin but mecha skin does the approach perfectly. It fully makes the character a robot unlike this one, this still keeps Aatrox as a being with blood and flesh. I know, skins are there to change the character as much as possible but while doing that, they also should stick to what champion is like to original for me.
I like how they gave weight to the sword, is a good skin but c'mon man, Aatrox legendary fits in cooler skin lines. Imagine Dark Star Aatrox, Old God Aatrox, High Noon Aatrox as an infernal demon.
Depuis le temps que j'attends un skin légendaire sur Aatrox je suis un peu dessus. Il est cool mais je le trouve assez en dessous des autres skins légendaire...
Maaaaaan... I want Gravelord aatrox as legendary skin to come out. The concept art for it looks so gad dam good. 100 times better then wtf ever this is.
amazing skin but do wish they started putting more effort into chromas. the blue chroma could have been 10/10 if it had dark gray skin instead of white. the white doesn't look good at al. idk if they just change the hue or manually edit cause who though up that colorcombo need to get fired
I personally think, riot made his legendary skin bad on purpose, so people can and will hate on it, I haven't really seen battle dove seraphine yet, but I BET, that it has so many more details than this aatrox skin
@@JarCla Nah, I don't think so many players are going to buy it, blood moon aatrox will still be the best skin for aatrox, odyssey and mecha are honestly better too, they failed completely with this skin or they were just lazy af, they gave leona and yuumi prestige skins and made another legendary skin for seraphine
The dance looks so weird and distortionated and it looked like that in pre-release too. I feel like they either rushed this or didnt pay it as much attention as they should have when compared to the other skins.
A lesson in unclear over design, if you will: putting holograms, marine creature motif, wings, sparking elecrticity, jetpack boosters, and biotecnology all in the same creature, with semi japanese neon punk design in its effects, making it impossible to grasp what it's supposed to be.
Man.... aatrox just keeps getting goonked... Bloodmoon was the last skin they made before shitting the bed so often, and so FOUL that you'd think they were a lactose intolerant geriatric octogenarian who eats cilli and cheese just to spite their nurse
This could and should be a lot better for the asking price. Its more like a 1350 skin also holding the 2 handed sword with one hand is such a lame change.
As an Aatrox main, i ain't buying this. I was hoping his legendary would play more into his demonic/hellish form. Not become this looney tunes shark monstrosity. Oh well.

still not a fan of the recall, it looks "cheap"
probably my fav aatrox skin
it feels janky, and the passive hit doesnt seem like he actually hits but rather he pulls back js before

Just wish they gave us option to use his 2nd mouth on ctrl+5 like renektons helmet in project skin
What I like is the epic sound when hitting a crit
This is very underwhelming for a legendary skin😭🙏
It is really good but the recall walk and passive animations look lazy and bad
Cuz they have $500 ahri skin dude. They need to drop the quality of other skin to make ahri skin worth $500 😂

Legendary skins for monsters are hard mainly do to needing find a way to make it work and Primordian Aatrox work but not in a weird way
he isnt a monster he is a humanoid
Humanoids like thresh are easy to make legendaries for as well

The way he swings between autos and his Q's got me. Ngl

the toby mcguire dance is enough to sell me on this one chief
i have no idea what the hate is for this skin seems fking awesome
When will the game be officially added?
Guess I’ll be running it down top with this skin.
the vfx for the Q should be just like in swarm mode
amazing skin but do wish they started putting more effort into chromas. the blue chroma could have been 10/10 if it had dark gray skin instead of white. the white doesn't look good at al. idk if they just change the hue or manually edit cause who though up that colorcombo need to get fired
Bully Maguire has gotten a huge glowup.
Gave him a segmented sword just for it to stay rock solid during its Q
