League of Legends: Aatrox

9/10 times when I write this blog I want to or I would rather be talking about League of Legends, so most likely i will make this a League blog.
Today I want to talk about Aatrox, The Darkin Blade. Aatrox is an extremely powerful brawler that dominates top lane and is almost always played aggressive, with his skill list he can 1v1 a good amount of champions at level one, depends on which of his skills you pick up.

Aatrox is one of the champions that uses health to use skills instead of mana, his passive is, Every time Aatrox uses a skill, he stores the number of hit points he inflicted on himself into his "Blood Well" when you die he will extract how much damage you've done to yourself and come back to live with that much health, then recieves 1% attack speed for every 2% of blood that's in the well.

Aatrox's Q is called  Dark Flight, which is where Aatrox flys up in the air and slams down on a location around him dealing dame, anything in the middle of the damage radius makes knocked up as well as take the damage.

Aatrox's W is called Blood Price/Blood Thirst, It's a toggle ability changing between Aatrox doing damage to himself, but doing more damage, or Him just getting health back from every third attack.

Aatrox's E is called blades of torment which is where he shoots lazers in a cone shape and slowing all enimes they hit.

Finally, Aatrox's ult or R is called Massacre, which when activated, does damage around him, and gains tons of attack speed and attack range for 12 seconds, So best used in team fights or 1v1 situation.

What I build as Aatrox is more of a Brawler, leaning towards more attack damage and speed then health items, critical items to build on Aatrox are, Ninja Tabi (or Merc Treads) Ravenous Hydra, Blood Thirster, Phantom Dancer, Blade of The Ruined King, then Frozen Mallet, for a more tanky build, get the same boots, Warmogs, Ravenous Hydra, Frozen Mallet, Randuin's Omen, and Maw of Mal if you need the magic resist, if you're feeling a bit more like a dick, go for an early Gaurdian Angel.

Aatorx's Lore  tells the story about how Aatrox is one of the 5 creatures of the Darkin race alive today, and how the Darkin are extreme warriors. It metions a battle between 2 groups of people, the Protectorate, and the Magelords, the Protectorate were getting destroyed in wars with the Magelords, and in a single battle were outnumbered (and skilled) 5 to 1, Just as they were about to lose and all day the warrior Aatrox appeared telling them not to give up until they were all dead, and with his help were able to win the battle. The soldiers were in awe of how Aatrox cleaved through his opponents as if he and his Sword were one. After that one battle, Aatrox disappeared but having inspired and motivated the Protectorate troops that much, they kept fighting and eventually won the war. Others say they fought with the legendary warrior, and only seems to appear in times of extreme need or dark times, it also says that he has changed the course in many major battles in the world of Runeterra.

"Some fight for honor, some fight for glory. It matters only that you fight.''
-- Aatrox
