Aatrox PBE changes miss the mark...again

Aatrox [Aatrox has other changes in testing on the PBE! - Context from Maple Nectar]

AD growth reverted from 3.7 to 3.2
Dark Flight (Q) damage increased from 10/35/60/95/120 to 20/50/80/110/140

None of this matters. Give him more damage, more scaling..whatever, none of it will make a difference.

His stats are not the issue. How does Riot not understand this. You fuck him with a bare bones kit because of his healing? Yet I watch tank Nasus heal up with his free lifesteal and his Q faster than Aatrox? THATS okay, but shitty Aatrox has to be punished for having heals and a very shitty revive, which is nowhere near as good as say gaining resistances and health instantly while doing passive magic damage for the longest 15 seconds in the game (Nasus), or healing 30% of missing health while still being able to move (Voli).

At the VERY least, since Aatrox has no build in defensive stats shield or blocks, he should get some kind of bonus every time he revives, adapting and growing stronger each time he revives, such as a permanent increase in health.

You want to make him better? MAKE HIS GOD DAMN BLADES OF TORMENT DO MAGIC DAMAGE LIKE THEY USED TO.

Also, let his abilities fill 25% of his Blood Well, not 20%. Its way too much effort to try to plan, and time, having stacks for a maybe very short lived Hellbent, just so you can maybe revive. He is easy to tower dive because his revive is conditional. Its all way too conditional to be considered a passive. It takes a shit load of active awareness and thought and planning to reap any benefits.

To this day, I still hate ricklesabandon for his shit rework of Aatrox. Screw you pal. Seriously. You didn't know shit about the champion and you just roll in and screw him over because you think players, who largely always kicked his ass anyways, needed a more "clear window of power"? Ridiculous.

Aatrox is getting a full scale rework in a couple of months anyways

Thats awful. They will definitely fuck it up. He will either be grossly over powered, grossly under powered,or very boring and not fun to play.

Perhaps, I'm optimistic though.

He has no way to kill tanks. He can't stick to targets.
