Aatrox needs some love I think.

Realistically I think his overall rework design was in the right direction. Removing his free level 1 GA was important (it was either cheese early or irrelevant late), but as we've seen, even sticking it to his Ultimate just didn't work out.

The first, simpler idea is to increase his base Q damage early, and maybe a bit at full rank. This will help his early game get going faster, because he doesn't really seem to deal a lot of damage until rank 3.

Another more obscure idea is to add a slow to his non-knockup Q zones, so that he has more AOE effects for team fights. If necessary, reduce the slow on his W so that the slow zones may not be enough to keep them in. Alternatively, his W zone also slows other champions by half that of the tethered champion.

Just a few quick ideas to try and help him. He seems like he doesn't get started early, so he can easily be shoved aside and denied his mid game prominence.

Make his Q animation complete faster and scale with attack speed. It's so slow and telegraphed you can't hit jack shit. At the very bare minimum make it faster while he's ulted.

he's very strong. the revive removal was actually a buff because instead of reviving he just drain tanks harder

I like the slow on q idea. Aatrox requires alot of effort to dish out damage compared to other picks.

Just make the zone stuff the cc and give him his damage straight up. Its a joke how super gated his damage is behind a minigame. His sustain is based on his damage, so if his damage is just complete subpar, the healing is going to be super subpar. Also up the speed on Q.
