@riot How to make Aatrox work again from an Aatrox main.

Sup guys, if you know who I am you know I don't like the Aatrox rework, however I've been playing it a bit and can work with it but It still needs a few tweaks to not be just a shitty version of .

First I'd like to say that honestly I like the IDEA of the new passive, making him work for the aa speed and giving it only a certain time makes the skill cap higher and I've liked it so far, but there are some VERY necessary buffs for it.

First
The aa speed you get from it needs to be buffed. He used to get 30-55% speed now he gets 20-50%. That's a straight up nerf and you have to work WAY harder to get it, I thought you guys wanted to help this guy out? Why should Camille get 80% from pressing E and WW get 120% from attacking someone low health and Aatrox, a champion that is BASED around autos only get 50% from his passive? Granted he does have his ult as well but the passive window is so short it can't really be called helpful.

Second You've got to enable the passive to keep itself on when attacking more than just champs, I'm not a jungler but without that passive jungle Aatrox is never going to happen, plain and simple.

Third It should be a longer duration. 4 seconds isn't THE WORST but it is still such a small window to find something else to attack and then have to stack up again. I'd say like 5.5 or 6 but 4 is just not enough.

Fourth, and this is not related to the passive Take off the %missing hp scaling of the W heal and give it back the ad scaling, tanky Aatrox that can attack fast is not a thing, and looking at the numbers you straight up nerfed the W damage which I have no idea why anyway but I guess it can be lived with, but you've got to make the heal useful. Take the base down so you can't build tanktrox (because nobody does that) and give it less with a better scaling then you'll have a proper dps drain tank.

And now comes the rant for a second, you guys buffed the abilities, but nerfed his ability to auto attack? If you want to play a burst ad top laner, play renek or riven you don't want to play Aatrox, but now you nerfed the dmg on his W damage AND gave a %missing hp scaling so you could have ANOTHER champion who wants to build to deal damage, if we don't have enough already.

Plus I want to say that the Bork changes hurt Aatrox ALOT, because good attack speed items that aren't expensive and aren't (because let's be real guys this thing is overloaded for the price you pay for it) are rare, Bork was one of the few items that gave him a lot of what he needed.

And lastly I would honestly love some feedback, not just from the people who play league but rito yourself because you haven't said anything about how he has been doing since your "hotfix" which didn't address any of these problems. However you did finally give us a lower CD on the Q which honestly I can feel the difference a lot and the W damage is back to normal-ish, the base health was needed for a long time so you guys definitely helped him out a lot and I wanna say thanks for that, but we aren't near done yet.

Also as a notice to anyone who cares I'm going to re-write my guide. I don't know when but I will so I'll have a good guide back on Lolking for those who are looking to learn to play Aatrox, it'll just take me a while to find the best fit for everything.
