Aatrox rework is a train wreck

almost immediately turned into another pro-play exclusive because his functionality past 20 minutes is 100% dependent on your team not being apes. He didn't even need the hotfix buffs he got to start dominating LCK and then became 100% p/b after they went through, all for the sake of letting soloQ have a little fun with him first. He gets a few minor buffs and he's right back to being a priority pick. LOL. New Aatrox is a disaster and should be looked at by Riot with regret. Low interaction champion who is basically guaranteed to auto-win laning phase if the player behind him is competent at the champion unless you hard counterpick him or have your jungler dedicate the first 10 minutes to making sure he never extends past tower range, while having way too much utility for the class he's supposed to represent - a "juggernaut" should not have an endless supply of displacements to throw at the enemy team post-lane. And to top that off, you kept the worst designed aspect of his old kit - his revive.

It's unfortunate to see how laughably poorly he's been handled since relaunch, and even more unfortunate that people will probably look at his current stats and think he's somehow weak.
