Hey guys,i've been trying out fulltank aatrox in ranked and it really has worked for me, you can charge your passive much quicker with more HP, and you have great base damage, i think he's been misinterpreted like xin who was build damage after his rework , and is now a tank. Have a pip at my guide if you want to know more :]

Aatrox built as a Tank not a melee carry bruiser

it's a good concept but imo aatrox doesn't build into tank well, is still squishy, and is shut down by any reliable peelers and exhaust and i feel that bork is pretty much mandatory no matter what
i think it'd be better off just laning/jungling jarman and doing the same thing but good work on the guide and making it work for yaLast edited by Acry; 2013-09-14 at 12:15 AM.

W > Q > E > W. Get Q level 2 because of the knock-up and in case you get invaded/you want to invade.
Personally go 2 ranks in W, then max R > E > W > Q.
I love Tanktrox. Doran's into SotAG+Tabi into Locket is awesome, then get Spirit Visage for CDR and passive effect, finish with Randuin's and then a damage item.

2013-09-14, 10:19 AM #4DeletedI don't see the point in maxing E, can you say why? The increased slow duration isn't too major as most lanes will have some form of hard cc anyway and its damage increase is negligible, especially when compared to 2 blood price's

2013-09-14, 12:34 PM #5DeletedBetter jungle clear and more burst during ganks, you won't always have the chance to get 3 AA's off to procc the damage. Originally Posted by Thegenuinebuzz

Wouldn't AS runes be better for such an item build?

Aatrox imo does really well with his Ult when he can survive longer. I'd agree that starting Tank Masteries is the way to go, but stick with his usual items such as Blade of the Ruined King (must have), Blood Thirster, Crescent, Tabi or Ionian boots with Captain, and then take spirit visage or warmog's for the hp.

for aatrox i run 9/21/0 generally go top lane since hes a late game champ and needs his farm which the jungle just doesnt provide
Botrk>merc>armor component of randuins cant think of the name atm.>spirit visage>randuins>lw>thormail/trolllmogs/banshess/ga last item is generally up for grabs with the defensive masteries and the randuins and sv you are rather tanky i got botrk for the slow and its passive 5% hp lifesteal etc. and the lw because as a front line they generally are pretty tanky it also helps with disrupting the enemy carries.
i run 3 2% LS quints
Armor yellos MR Blue and Armor pen reds

Hey guys, would like to know your thoughts on lifesteal quints for tank trox? other than if your ahead you wont get lifesteal on him at all(barring hp regen from dorans) so i was wondering whether dropping that 6.75 early AD for 6% lifesteal would be worth?

as i mentioned above thats what i run its more viable, for your guide on the other hand you run with a dorans start yet still build sotag which means you are just double dipping in starting gold which is a waste imo
-
2013-09-20, 08:11 PM #16DeletedI wouldn't do it; you don't really need it, you get double Dorans anyway and you have your W for sustain, you literally can't die whilst clearing the jungle unless you start the camp with <100 hp, so I don't see the point in getting Lifesteal quints.

i didnt say its not more or less viable but unless he plans on farming or getting a ton of ganks off junglers are strapped for gold, so starting with the machete works just fine imo

The last 3 points are what Aatrox jungle is all about. Snowballing. He excells in skirmishes, that is why double dorans works better than Machete+5pots does.
Yes, now I'm saying it's better to start Doran's instead of Machete on Aatrox. You are never in any danger of dying whilst jungling, ever, you do not need potions.
It's the exact same reason you want to start Doran's Blade on Lee Sin, Tigerdyr, Nocturne; they all excell at skirmishing, dueling and ganking. It's not "necessary" and only really a good idea if you plan on REALLY snowballing (read: solo-queue). Whereas with Aatrox there's no downside to starting Doran's and not Machete.

So hunters would just be sitting there for a long time
Doran's > boots + more dorans if neccesary > kindlegem > SOAG (Priority order hunters>rej>faire)
