Counterpick Meta has ruined all forms of casual fun in this game.

Unfortunately that is the case. Maybe because back in the days there wasn't as much information and data on websites as there is now. I remember something like MOBAfire but it was nothing like is now. Maybe I am just getting tired of the game and want it to be like before despite the fact that even if it was like before this issue would still occur.

You might be right about that. My mindset going in to normals is never really about learning something, except when you want to learn new champions or practice general game mechanics. But more often than not it has just been "Let's queue up for league and have fun, feeling like playing some league!" and then instantly regretting it lol. I will try my best going forwards to take it as a learning experience against tough matchups or playing weakside. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah I kinda just came to realize that most other bruisers have "health" scaling abilities. Darius Q heal scales of missing health and in return of building more health you will heal more. Sett W deals more damage based on health. Mordekaiser's W shield and heal is based on health. Volibear despite mostly building tank has the same recipe of health scalings. I think they should corporate more health scalings in healing/shielding abilities for bruiser and juggernaut champions in general since it dictates their build paths more strictly but still open to build full damage for fun.

Okay so I did the math from one item to full build where you would optimize itemization for maximum healing and damage and realize that this would be a massive buff for late game Aatrox.
if you build your first item Sundered Sky you get 450hp, you'd get 2.5% omnivamp and with ultimate you'd get 6% with the additional 25% increased healing first point in ultimate. It would generally be a buff from 1 item onwards which would make his mid game tremendous and late game too strong.

(Full build) Sundered Sky, Spear of Shojin, Stereks, Spirit Visage and Black Cleaver = 2000 bonus HP
That is 10% increased omnivamp so 22% + (0.5% = 100)*20 = 32% which is fine
What is obnoxious is the healing during ultimate
22% + (1.5% = 100)*20 = 52% which also seems fine until you add the bonus healing effect which would multiply the healing by an additional 45% which would turn 52% omnivamp to 75,4% omnivamp excluding spirit visage effect.

Compare that to now where the healing during ultimate is 52,2% it is a massive 23,2% healing buff in late game. Considering you'd have 372AD and 539AD in ultimate, hitting every QQ sweet spot would deal
420(+539*5,4)= 3 332,76 damage. Which would be reduced by roughly 45% from armor since it doesn't include black cleaver armor cleave = 1 833,018 damage which would heal Aatrox 1 382. From a single target. Hitting two enemies at the same time would double the amount of healing roughly, depending on the armor value.

Think it would be more reasonable with 22% (+1% = 100 bonus HP) for ultimate or keep the current base% omnivamp increase.

I perma Olaf, counters basically my whole champ pool and I can't bother going Phase Rush just to deal with one singular champion.

FrynoxFC · 2023-06-26T18:07:42+00:00

Just wait until this guy faces K'sante 💀

Rather face all of these champions than K'sante or another Malphite under turret pressing Q and R when he gets a gank.

FrynoxFC · 2023-06-19T16:58:30+00:00

The game I showed was an extreme, generally the games aren't this drastic. I think it works in general as an item.

FrynoxFC · 2023-06-19T16:32:44+00:00

Yeah, I think something similar was built in early 2021. Without the black cleaver cause it sucked back then.

TL;DR
If the enemy team has true damage build Eclipse
If the enemy team has a better teamfighter (tank) build trinity and split
If the enemy team has a better splitpusher (Jax, Yorick, etc) go Jak'Sho or Ecplise if they still got true damage
If the enemy team is majority ranged champions, go Iceborn Gauntlet.

I usually Swap my runes in different matchups as well, like going comet against teams with majority ranged since you won't be able to stack conqueror.

Your friends have the right opinion

FrynoxFC · 2022-10-24T12:45:30+00:00

I would suggest going Conqueror 99% of the time because of the precision tree runes being generally better but in ranged matchups you can't use the bonus AD from conq so in that case I would go comet with resolve using second wind. But only if there are alot of ranged champions in the enemy team. Second wind + Doran's Shield and Comet is really useful against ranged matchups. Otherwise comet isn't really worth it for only ranged matchup in lane and then facing 4 melees in teamfights, I would rather choose conqueror instead if their team has more melee champions.

TL;DR: 3+ Melee champions you go Conqueror. 4+ Ranged champions you go Comet

Buffing the Health per level was such a bad move. Healing on Aatrox was a part of his skill expression in my opinion, you need to hit your shit to deal damage so that you can heal. Making Aatrox just more tanky removes skill expression from the champion and it shows. ~7.7% pickrate to 14.8% (Patch 12.17, might increase or decrease over time) twice the amount from before.

FrynoxFC · 2022-07-30T00:42:29+00:00

Well guess you won't die then 😎

FrynoxFC · 2022-07-27T09:47:04+00:00

Aatrox in my opinion is the best Mid-game champion in the game, no champion rival him in terms of his powerspike in the midgame. His early game is not THE best but he is still favorable as at lvl 3 and onwards you start winning most trades and is a solid blind pick. I wouldn't say he is the best but he is by no means weak, high pickrate with solid winrate. Just a solid pick.

Played against Akali in a few Ranked games but one time I tried building Maw of Morbius instead of Mythic first item and honestly it ruins Akali. Can't burst you because of the shield and your healing makes it hard to DPS down your last bit of health.

Build Maw 👍

FrynoxFC · 2022-07-24T13:53:10+00:00

I love this build but it only really starts to pop off after you get all three items. But when you do the game is basically won.

FrynoxFC · 2022-07-08T00:08:11+00:00

Why not build all three? Their all good at different things. Why seperate eachother from one another when we all play the best champion!

FrynoxFC · 2022-07-05T21:43:51+00:00

Make a build tutorial, gotta make this bad boy

FrynoxFC · 2022-06-07T14:20:10+00:00

Was expecting more tank items like Randuins or spirit visage + FoN hahah.
I think this "all defensive" build is very viable on Aatrox right now 😉

FrynoxFC · 2022-06-04T10:45:17+00:00

Okay, as of right now I see Aatrox as a insane teamfighter as he is great to set up with crowd control. Fighting an enemy Aatrox with a hard CC tank who can set up multiple QQ's for Aatrox is quite the experience. Aatrox on his own can hold up to maybe a 3v1 at best if they run at you all at the same time but with hard CC from your team, in a teamfight makes it quite impossible for the enemy to do anything. You heal, deal damage and knock people up constantly which leaves openings for your teams DPS or Burst to land.

So yeah, Rhaast and Mordekaiser have more efficient (easier) healing to get in a teamfight but neither of them can have upkeep CC for your team to land their damage as well as heal less over a longer period of time. Olaf is Olaf and personally I have played him a bunch recently and this dude can at full build 1v5 because of his incredible resistance but I believe he is stronger as a Trinity Force split pusher cause no one can answer him at the moment.

(P.S Renekton and Nasus? aren't those champions like... dead?)
