#aatrox bruiser nerf thoughts?
brittle harness
these are the nerfs my thoughts are that lethality is now promoted and aatrox is now really weak and useless with all these nerfs against bruiser. but tbh all these nerfs seem to be very aatrox targeted.

The only nerf that wasn't warranted was further maw nerfs, the rest are needed.

how abt the Deaths Dance buff
robust wigeon
Aatrox needed a big nerf

how abt the Deaths Dance buff
Item sucks
It's a really niche item that only a small amount of champs use well

how abt the Deaths Dance buff
DD personally only works on those superhealers like briar, aatrox still needs too much effort for it to work as effectively 
The buff should restore it to its former glory
Felt… too nerfed when it was re-added
Also, never played aatrox bruiser, wasn’t he full leta? Feel this wont affect him much no?

Item sucks
ya but DD works SITUAITIONAL

Idk bout that 1 chief character straight up has a useless ability in W
forest orbit
take ingenious hunter and continue building the items, most of this are cooldown nerfs
sundered sky heal nerf will hurt though
also from what I have seen the only items that are getting nerfed next patch are eclipse sundered sky and sterak
deaths dance buff is nice, maw is probably kind of a nerf but if ur playing aatrox youd build spirit over maw on the bruiser build
i think secondary runes taste of blood + ingenious hunter would work well
unless its a very hard matchup
if you do the math sunderred sky reduces back to 5 sec cooldown from 8 and sterak reduces back to 60 when you have max ingenious stacks so yea

Biggest issue with the item was that it get nerfed too much and had its stats adjusted in a way that was bad for it, the changes it's getting now look pretty good and item should feel a lot better after those changes arrive. It works pretty well on a lot of champs, (the passive stores post-mitigation damage and getting a takedown cleanses the remaining pool of delayed damage, so it can really mitigate a lot of damage if used well.
Other more indirect issue is that this season's new crop of fighter items have all been hp+AD style items, so there's been a plethora of great options to choose from that give you hp and AD, but still only DD and GA for armor+AD, and they got rid of Silvermere Dawn for MR+(hp)+AD, so you only have Maw unless you actually like AS a lot, then there's Wit's End to consider. We lowkey need a couple more AD+resist items for fighters.

The item sucks outside of like 2-3 champs who can use it well, I wish the item was stronger, but currently it's just a dead item I agree.
The only champ I can think of who actually used it well was maybe riven and nilah because they could kill people quick enough for the bleed to benefit them heavily, it's a very good item on nilah against ad burst comps like a zed or a talon etc
Outside of those bursty champs that don't benefit highly from full armor items it's not super good, it's barely built on anyone other than riven nowadays from my experience. Jaksho and frozen heart is just everyones go to now for durability

I feel like DD can’t be meta since if it is it can be bought on anyone and it’s pretty toxic, however I feel like the item is too important on those few champs that can utilise it to where it’s almost item dependant
The current meta is kinda burtsy and some champs can’t play in that without it, but if DD was too strong too many champs could a use it in this meta
sharp berry

They just killed the item though when they changed it, it barely accomplishes it's objective of anti-burst now because the champions who would typicaly build it don't anymore because full tank items are better
A lot of the old builders of the item don't have the burst to take advantage of the bleed clear so it's an item built on bursty champs who are melee like nilah or riven
untold oyster
Hmm true
Identity shift which was wrong yeah I guess it does its job on steroids now on burst champs
I mean at this point shield items are the anti burst options

too bad they are gutting tf outta them over and over

they really kinda messed up the proportions on the stats a bit+overall down powered it though those stat+cost adjustments. S12 item was super good and before that for a time it was pretty OP and meta-warping.
Riven's always loved the time, but for a while it was pretty good on basically all AD fighters.
