What Are The Best Aatrox Skins?
Aatrox was once an honored defender of Shurima against the void until he and his brethren became an overwhelming threat to Runeterra. After centuries of imprisonment from cunning sorcerers, Aatrox walks Runeterra as a brutal titan composed of stolen flesh seeking apocalyptic vengeance.
Aatrox is without a doubt one of the most badass bruisers in League of Legends. After his rework in late 2018, Aatrox has proven to be a dominant force in the top lane. If you enjoy crushing your competition with this tank of a life-stealing Darkin monster, this article is for you.
