His last change was in Patch 5.11, which was more than one year ago, he has an abysmal winrate is is played next to never.
Hes a broken Champion who has no place in this game like forever and is outclassed by every other champion in any category you would want to play him and even by jack of all trades champions.
So... is RIOT just counting on the terrible memory of the community so we will just forget about him when they just ignore him long enough?
TyroneWatermelon1 votesHe's on the list for a small scale rework possible in early 2017,until then Riot doesn't give a shit about Divers and are going to make an assassin class update. As much as it is more logical to update Divers,it's more healthy to update assassins since they are the literal cancer of this game. It's very sad for me that my favourite champion is so problematic.

Actually the 2 abilities that need major change is his W and passive because for one his W either gives him entoixciating amounts of absurd dmg when ahead or completely garbage when behind and gives stupid sustain His passive attack speed and Revive that can't be stopped is also pretty unhealthy
Sovereignty1 votesThis is the case with so many older champions. So many kits are so outdated compared to the massive "outplay" kits of the newer champions. It's gotten to the point where one would think that riot hired some halfwit ex-blizzard reject as the lead of their champ development team. No company could be that stupid though... right?
oh wait........
Irelia Bot1 votesLet the effects of swain show why Riot is not wanting to buff him in his current state.
Ryzing2Diamond1 votesThis is made even worse by the fact that in lore, Aatrox is supposed to be unstoppable. And instead he's literally the worst.
Anu3isII1 votesNo, they will ignore him in terms of balance until A) He somehow becomes good because of some balance/item changes (and then they nerf him) or B) His rework is finished.
He is in the category of "too broken to be fixed" champions, and Riot will not touch him unless he comes back in the meta.
I think there was also a list of champions posted by a Rioter , where they specifically said "They desperately need a rework" or something like this.
