Stop Nerfing Aatrox

He is literally unplayable in his current state. You have done nothing but butcher his kit. Bring back his 3rd hit passive, get rid of this champion only heal bullshit. It doesn't work. Fix his Ult. Why does blood well not exist anymore? It's almost impossible to trigger Aatrox's passive now. I love this champion, but all that's happened is nerf after nerf after nerf. In his current state: -no heals -no damage -no blood well He has literally lost his champion identity and is now a shitty riven.

Aatrox is supposed to be a bruiser with some nice self-healing that's viable in the jungle, but since you have decided that he's meant to be useless. He can't do anything but toplane where his kit and scaling is not competitive at all.

Thanks for fucking up Aatrox. Permaban me from the game.

"No heals". Have you been living in a cave? Not only does he have decent healing right now, but his ult INCREASES healing by up to 70% Rank 3. He's very much playable right now, heck, hes starting to become more faithful to his old draintank self, but in a much healthier balanceable form.

His changes have been to make him a healthier champion overall. Now that he's been fixed (No longer the massive statcheck he was pre-rework, and now has an actual requirement for his revive besides just pressing R), he can be brought up to reasonable power.

Also, when making a poll, it's best to not make it a "if you disagree with me you're wrong, murder puppies, eat babies, exclusively play Fiddle and Heimer, and are in all other ways the absolute worst person to walk the earth". The poll easily could have done without "and make him playable again" in it and it'd have made it better. You could also have made it more reasonable (Since you said "every change", that means literally reverting him to release state...Although more likely you mean either reverting him to pre-rework or reverting him to just after post-rework)

Last patch literally improved his jungle if you actually read the changes

Can't really tell how strong Aatrox is right now because the patch just rolled out and most of us are trying to get our heads around how he is currently. He seems pretty good imo and can actually fight with the more dominant skirmishers/duelists a bit better now. The 70% healing thing is kind of gimmicky when it's just his own healing but if you pair it with any support heal or external heal it's a bit nuts. I think his damage is good where it's at considering he's meant to be a threatening juggernaut and now that his get out of jail free card is limited behind take downs, it brings him to a more reasonable level where he can't just abuse the fact that he won't die. According to U.GG his winrate is at about 47% which is pretty low but it is steadily rising so we'll just have to see how far he goes.
