In plat+ Aatrox has a 34.67% winrate in the jungle and a 38.35% in top, nice one riot also only 4.9% of the people in this sample have less then 50 games with Aatrox so it's not like they've never played Aatrox and they have no idea what the fuck they are doing, you basically just made him unplayable... he currently has the lowest top and jg win rate in the game this is really just ridicolous
This is an entirely new champion that doesn't play even remotely the same as before because his damage, a core aspect of how people played him aggressively, was nerfed. So now you're basically supposed to play him all passive-like and scale into the game which is the opposite of old Aatrox.
Aatrox jungle is now supposed to leave Blood Price on for all of his clears until he's mostly done with the camp, because you start with 3 potions and want to make use of them. That's entirely foreign compared to how people played him, because you never even needed potions.
I got him to work with a weird rune page set up to make him tankier by 40 HP early and abandoned any kind of AD outside of two AD quints, with mostly attack speed. Completely functional against everything, but it's hard for him to just outright smash people like he used to, because again, his damage was nerfed. This kind of build is yet again, completely foreign to old Aatrox. If you weren't going all-or-nothing then you lost on old Aatrox. This one actually scales with tank items and can rely more on base values.
I played him 7 times in the jungle won 5. Tried one time top but i can't really count that because we had 2 trolls who were doing their best to lose.
A significant amount of the Aatrox games that result in such bad winrates, are matches where players built him TOO OFFENSIVE.
too offensive
too offensive
Riot definitely has to update the recommended items. Once the builds have changed players will also be able to contribute more.
I mean, what did they expect? They've turned him into literally a bad Warwick. You could play Warwick and get the same drain tank playstyle, WITH hard cc!
what wouldyou expect? they basically killed of his offensive builds and made him a tank/bruiser that offers nothing that other bruisers can´t do better...(want lifeleech on hit and a strong early lane? Olaf - want a sustained lane, engage and revive? Zac - want somebody that can actually sustain through the jungle indefinitly? WW...-.-).
You know what? IT WAS THE SAME EVEN BEFORE THE REWORK
Question. What was his winrate BEFORE the changes?
Wow that's just fucking sad
just say fuckk riot
the problem is the passive
combing the combat buffs with the revive makes for a VERY powerful passive. They tried to balance this by making it harder to achieve the parts of the passive, and by making the rest of his kit weak
if they add more interactive counterplay into the passive it will open up more room to make his kit stronger
Jungle - 
= can take dragon at 8 solo, rift guardian at 9 (lower with help), don't need pots after level 2 EXCEPT for use ganking
{edit} - by level 8 - 
(pref finish greaves, but having blood well boost ready at start could make up the difference in AS){/edit}
honestly, the only thing aatrox does at the moment that makes him a pick over Tryndamere is his Q for the better mobility. BUT Tryndamere has better sustain and a more useful ult, and jungles better with basically the exact same kit (lose for a crit item like 
or 
).
