Fix Aatrox Please.

This champion is just so damn bad right now. If you go behind on this champion you are literally useless. This is like Old Aatrox (first iteration) syndrome without the benefit of being a late game carry or the benefit of being able to have build diversity. You build the same garbage every game and you live or die by that build.

Can you please DESTROY AATROX FOR PROPLAY and make him an actually enjoyable champion for us normal players? How in the world has this rework garnered so much favour when it literally has causes more problems than it solved? Great, you've increased his player base but now the champion is in an even worse state than he was before...

There's just so many annoyances with this version of Aatrox.

Let me list a few:

  1. This champion needs to be executed flawlessly to be relevant and god forbid, you get ganked or the enemy builds armor.
  2. You have ONE viable build and there's no flexibility whatsoever.
  3. You have GARBAGE sustain in lane (which Aatrox was previously known for), you have no more utility on your passive with the removal of mutilator and the passive healing was nerfed to the ground alongside his base hp regen. Essentially, any damage you take in lane is permanent and for no benefit.
  4. This champion relies too much on having a good team and as a result, has significantly weaker solo impact than other brawler style champions.
  5. He falls off the face of planet once late game comes because he doesn't have enough damage to actually kill people and his damage is delivered in an extremely slow and delayed manor despite the game being so ridiculously fast paced.

FIX THIS CHAMPIONS PLEASE.

They want to forget this version like they did with Old Aatrox. They dont want him to exist period.

They were going to do mechanical changes that would make him less viable in pro play but better in soloq, unfortunately they had a poll on twitter asking if mains would rather have a high skill champ with a low winrate or if they were willing to sacrifice some of his skill ceiling to make the champ a bit more viable in soloq.

Unfortunately the former was chosen, and here we are.

I enjoy aatrox in his current state, he's my 1 trick (edit: there is a way to fix the lane sustain issue, its by rushing a deaths dance it makes your lvl 6 basically unmatched by any other champ if u get ur item by that point and it can win you a fight against an ahead laner enemy laner aswell only if they're at most 2 lvl's up on you also if they rush an executioners they'll be behind in terms of stats and gold for there core items) (also lethality is a good thing to rush after black cleaver if you are fighting against a very tanky enemy because it will allow you to deal enough damage to kill them in prolonged fights and lethality on aatrox can give you the ability to literally BLOW UP squishies like ADC's, some mages, assassins, and enchanters, but remember to ONLY build it after your second item which should be black cleaver because you need the HP, CDR, and the Cleave passive which reduces armor before getting the lethality)

He is crap top. Gets bullied hard by the usual picks. I have been using him mid and he seems very god vs the assassin or mage meta and his roams and very good. Also has good wave clear in his kit. Problem is he is stuck in a very rigid bruiser build path which is not good for teamfigts imo.

I personally think he needs to lose the knockups on Q1 and Q2 (while keeping it on Q3) and have that power redistributed elsewhere so he isn't broken in competitive and can be balanced for casual play.

He's absolutely cucked by something that builds armour (which no other juggernaut is as they all have anti resistance components like Morde and Darius' E passives etc.).
