Playing Aatrox during his free week

and While a pretty cool champion, decently strong overall but one little aspect of him needs improving

His Q, his gap closer

There are more than a few things wrong with it 1 - The distance is pretty short, despite it being claimed to be 650, it definitely is shorter than that 2 - The hitbox for the knock up is smaller than the inner circle indicates, best way to test it is on jungle creeps who will occasionally not be knocked up by it 3 - This is probably the most important The cast time, it is insanely long! It's like Aatrox flies into the air, contemplates life, takes a few sips of coffee, finishes off his scone... THEN decides to finally fly down

During this massive build up, he can be interrupted during any point of it AND the health cost is instant.

Actually now that I think about it, His big damage source is probably his W. Yet when I compare it to Udyr and Jax who arguably do the exact same thing, it really doesn't compare favorably

Despite paying a small chunk of his health, it only deals a pittance of 200 + 100% bonus AD For comparison sake, Spear Shot from Pantheon deals 225 + 140% Total AD. Udyr's Tiger deals 230 + 160% Total AD.
