Wild Rift Aatrox Leaked: Potential New Champion

In a recent data mine, a player discovered evidence of Wild Rift Aatrox potential release. The specific datamine showed data for Yuumi and Aatrox, with Ornn on the picture and Taliyah as the profile picture. Seeing as how they’re all mechanically simple champions, their additions to Wild Rift stands as a very real possibility. With January typically marking huge changes for Riot Games’ products, such a release is not unprecedented. In fact, Riot’s stream on Friday will almost surely confirm these champions. Though difficult to predict accuracy, expect confirmation on at least one of the four champions.

Aatrox Overview

Nobody really expected Aatrox for Wild Rift, but the champion’s addition definitely fits perfectly into the mobile game. Typically played as a Baron laner, Aatrox’s high skill cap allows players to carry while sitting at the edge of their seat. With innate healing and sustain rewarded upon successful attacks, Aatrox’s play style mirrors that of a more immobile Riven. In essence, he has three casts of his first ability, with each cast doing something slightly different. As a whole, Aatrox moves require strong positioning alongside effective aim. The CC built into his moves reward players’ skills, increasing his priority while limiting the enemy’s potential counter play.

So many Baron lane champions mirror such a play style. In essence, bruisers with strong sustain and damage seem to be the dominant characteristic for the solo lane. Therefore, Aatrox would fit in very well, but wouldn’t necessarily drastically evolve the meta much at all.

In Conclusion

The release of these champions, including Wild Rift Aatrox, is very probable, but not guaranteed. Therefore, take the information provided here with a grain of salt. Nothing has been officially revealed, and the content provided was discovered by dataminers. This correlates to strong evidence of the releases, but until the Riot Game stream on Friday of this week, nothing is guaranteed. Wild Rift Aatrox alongside the rest of the teased champions would definitely be great additions to Wild Rift, evolving the state of the game forward.
