LEAGUE OF LEGENDS STEALTH REWORK UPDATE

Regarding the direction that Riot plans on taking Aatrox, the champion's rework team has settled on the design of a 'bloodthirsty, greatsword-wielding Warlord,' a title that sounds perfect for Aatrox. 'We think that Aatrox really isn't holistically living up to his Darkin Warlord theme and needs to be rethought from the ground up.'

'As noted previously, Aatrox's changes will be the largest pure gameplay update we've ever done, and it's taken us a bit longer than we originally predicted,' Riot Reav3 continued. The update for the first Darkin champion is one that's taken a while now, one that should totally represent the Darkin theme that prev nextДЄnd then there's Aatrox, the largest pure GU update that Riot Games has ever worked on. Riot Reav3 also suggested that Irelia 'needs some tools to initiate a fight and signal to her teammates that negotiations have failed and it's time to fight back,' another teaser that may find its way into her new kit. We still want to maintain her strength against ranged champions and want her to be able to fight at a relatively long range (for a fighter), poking at her enemies with a thousand tiny cuts before surging in for the kill.' 'The rest of her kit is going through pretty big changes to help fully realize her theme. 'Like I mentioned before, we're keeping her current Q, Bladesurge, as we believe it's a great ability that's core to Irelia, and we'll even be spicing it up by giving her more reset opportunities,' Riot Reav3 said. Riot Reav3 also explained that Irelia's Bladesurge (Q) will still be part of her post-update kit, though they plan on somehow making it even better.

Irelia's VGU is one that looks to capitalize off of the champion's unique role in League as a master of blades who levitates these weapons around her while slashing enemies apart while maintaining the champion's playstyle that keeps her in the fray, deep in enemy lines during a teamfight.
