Aatrox, the Darkin Blade, is set to get the biggest update yet in League of Legends.

Developers have confirmed that Aatrox, the Darkin Blade, is on their sights to get a huge update to make him more effective in League of Legends. His kit is one that at the moment, isn’t viable in getting the job done either as a top lane champion or jungler.

Needless to say, his popularity has dropped over the past few months since other champions that are the META bring much more to the table. It’s a shame since Aatrox’s look and lore are very interesting but his overall gameplay and kit leave much to the imagination.

In the grand scheme of things, Aatrox is supposed to be a demonic champion that embraces the art of slaying enemies and empowering his evil blade. Sadly, his kit doesn’t deliver on his lore as a skilled player can counter him to the point where he fades away later on in matches.

The good news is, developers of League of Legends have confirmed that a huge rework is indeed on the horizon for Aatrox. In an article written by Reav3 for the Nexus, here is what he had to say about what is in store:

"This will likely be the largest pure gameplay update we have ever done on a champion, with every single ability being evaluated and updated. We’re still early in development on Aatrox but there are already some promising design directions we’re playing with. The update is still a ways off, but we wanted to start talking about it now since we know it’s high up on players’ wishlists."

Hopefully, Aatrox becomes a champion that not only can dish out some serious damage but one that lives up to the essence of his character. This is an exciting time for those that main Aatrox since it’s only a matter of time before he gets an overdue gameplay update.
