The Aatrox changes

Dear Riot,

I am an aggressive guy inside the game and out. That is why champs like Aatrox are right up my ally. I've played him for 700+ games over the years and no matter how many changes came - he was always able to fulfill his role - keep fighting.

That is why I am disgusted with the new changes - he seems to struggle to stay afloat anywhere at any point of the game. The biggest disappointment have been his passive - Any silver average joe can play around it and you die more then 50% of time with the passive still off cooldown. I am awaiting the long-overdue total rework of the champ. However, if that doesn't come fine - just please revert back to the old passive - it wasn't perfect but at least it was competitive. This new bullshit isn't.

Anybody else is welcome to comment their views on the new Aatrox.

Thanks you for your time.

I'm silver so take this for what its worth. I used to play aatrox a lot before the changes as a sustain fighter. A fed aatrox would be scary to face and the passive would be something that always made me feel safer in laning phase. Now I'm not even certain my passive will go off even when it's off cooldown. I have to now spam my abilities like a monkey to get some dumb meter and die while it's running out?

Aatrox is still fun but now when I do play him I act like I don't have the passive revive, which I might as well not have.

Also I've never understood, why does his ult scale off of ap? Isn't that kind of useless? Unless you add AP scaling on his other abilities, then what's the point?

It sucks his new ult! Like having Teemo without mushrooms! It just doesn't feel right, man!
