Question about Aatrox

So ever since 9.3 came, /r/AatroxMain started a small movement called "revert Aatrox". I was wondering if riot would actually go back to such drastic change of a champion(which in my opinion they shouldn't all that work would go to waste).

Also I don't think the E change was thought through it made it even harder to land q so wouldn't it make sense to buff the slow on w? or make q do more damage to make it more rewarding?

But yeah I'm just hoping they give aatrox a small buff since his E change is his hardest nerf and everyone at Aatrox main are going nuts.

Any ideas to make Aatrox a bit better?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, because the old Aatrox was a massive statcheck and was fucking useless until Conquerer broke him.

This is getting really tiring.

Just play Xin Zhao at top.

(which in my opinion they shouldn't all that work would go to waste).

If we're being honest, there didn't actually go that much work into the Aatrox rework.

His kit is unoriginal, and as many have already pointed out, basically just a "Riven 2.0".

His model was about to be shipped way below standards before someone corrected it and Riot gave it an update and it looked much better.

His banner wings weren't even a feature he had on launch, it was only something they added after enough people complained about it.

Finally, even though several months have passed, Riot still refuses to fix his model's broken animations that he's had since launch.

This is just talking about in-game. His lore is abysmal.

His new character is bland, his personality is atrocious, and his voice is terrible and doesn't fit him at all.

The only thing good about the rework was the cinematic, which looked great, and that's it.

The Aatrox rework was just something that was cooked together and rushed out to stop people from complaining about old Aatrox.

Psh, like hell anything would be reverted.

Riot will never own up to how rework design philosophy fucked up the game, and blind people will still say that they "fix" gameplay.
