Aatrox: When is this going to be fixed? League of Top laners is getting old.
As you may have noticed, Aatrox's kit is far too powerful. Between his extremely large hitboxing, escape/engage maneuverability, auto-ress, and passive lifesteal, what is Riot thinking? This champion is far too powerful and breaks the game. I've come back to League within the last 3 weeks after a 2 year leave of absence, under the impression that perhaps Riot has figured out how to balance their champions by now.
Between Aatrox and Darius, it's apparent that they have not. Some elements of these characters need to be changed or nerfed, such as movement speed. It's far too easy to play these characters 1: Due to their overall stats, 2: Their extremely off-the-scale kits, 3: Movement Speed. At the very least, you need to make these characters some of the slowest in the game. Also tank items like Dead Man's Plate movement speed should be somewhat nerfed to at least tip the scales more towards a "balanced game".
I would also suggest nerfing Swain's Drag-snare in some form. This ability is far too powerful and should be reduced to a drag/slow, or just become a rooting effect without a drag. Nerfing this ability may require buffs in other places of his kit, but would be a step in the right direction.
At the moment, it seems League hasn't changed much. I understand that it's a free game, but I am kind of disappointed to see that the attempts they have made are pathetic at best, if not also illogical and counter-intuitive.
While there are many champions that need to have some adjustments made to them, I believe Aatrox should be the first and foremost on the list of "Needs changing". If you see this post, I would really appreciate your feedback in either the comments or voting via the listed poll.
Thank you leaguers, I hope this game will find a "sweet spot" some day.
