Aatrox Passive is the root of his problems and also, Riot Logic

Aatrox has no built in AD steroid, crit steroid, no build in armor pen, tenacity or resistances.

He get attack speed bonus, which is eliminated when he revives from his passive.

His dive is unreliable, because literally everything interrupts it, with a very long cool down.

And CC can shut him down. His healing only becomes good under 50 percent, which is when he can now be bursted down.

His ult is basically just more attack speed. Whoop dee fricken do.

Before I talk about his passive, lets talk about Riot logic. They believe drain tanks can be unhealthy for the game. So if they did buff Aatrox, seriously,whats the worst that could happen? He is picked more, wins more? Or picked a lot more and wins a lot more...and then hes always banned every game like Zed?

They have no problem with all of their high reward low risk assassins always being banned because no one wants to play against them. But oh no, we can't buff Aatrox! But its okay to have champions that can one shot you before you can even react, but heaven forbid we have any strong auto attack based champions with sustain.

Ridiculous. Anyways, Aatrox passive sucks. You revive just to be killed again. Not saying its never handy, it is but I find Voli passive to be better...you gain health while still staying int he fight and able to move.

His stats are weak because of his sustain and his passive.

I say, ditch the passive. Give him something like Voli, or a shield that absorbs damage for 4 seconds based on his level and how much is in his bloodwell. OR let his passive be something that empowers his abilities with a full blood well.

OR, have his passive simply be a little more bonus attack speed then it currently is and bonus tenacity based on how full it is, with dark flight being immune to CC while blood well is full and bring his base stats up to what other fighters enjoy.
