The one thing I feel that holds Aatrox back the most

Is his vulnerability/attack speed loss after resurrecting.

Aatrox needs to be smacking things repeatedly to have any chance in fights, but his weak rebirth is extremely telegraphed and drains his Blood Well which costs him a lot of crucial attack speed.

Aatrox is super reliant on attack speed and without ultimate to instantly buff it his kit is very weak, so resurrecting is often just going to result in death again.

I propose that Aatrox passive retain it's blood well through resurrection, so he can actually make use of his "free man".

The heal would still depend on the pool but not cost anything.

90% of Aatrox kit is his W, so to resurrect with minimal attack speed and low health is near pointless

A free man is still a free man, and unlike Zac and Anivia there's not much counter to it. Losing his AS is really all he's got.

The biggest thing holding Aatrox back is how absurdly unreliable his Q is. Long windup, small hitbox, can be interrupted by anything, and it's extremely punishing to miss. The long revival period+lack of fighting power after is definitely pretty bad too though.

I main aatrox over 1000 games and I do feel his E and his Q lacks dmg and all that good stuff. His W and passive makes him the best sustainable champ in the game and not to mention his speed attk and lifesteal to back up. but he still lacks alot of skills such as his mobility. if we would have a major change about aatrox then its his E and his Q. if they were to change his whole output in W and passive then i see theres no point in playing aatrox anymore.
