[Champion Release]: How I feel about Aatrox's VGU

[Disclaimer: This is just my opinion on Aatrox's VGU & I wanted to give my two cents on him.]

So I've played a few games with Aatrox (Sandbox/Customs, will be trying Normal Queues soon™) & overall despite being an unpopular opinion, I like the Kit he was given. Although, I can see why alot of people hate this rework.

1. His Kit (From what I've seen, it's how his Q & E Interact) is somewhat clunky & can be hard to use sometimes- When I tried out Aatrox, it seemed like they made it so you **HAVE **to try landing that sweet spot on his Q's. Considering that he is rooted in place during his Q casts, you would have to use your E to reposition. If you don't have access to your E while using your Q ability, you won't be able to land the ability properly & your opponent will most likely walk out of it. I found that getting to 40% CDR **ASAP **can alleviate this a little bit & makes it just a little bit smoother in my opinion. His [W: Infernal Chains] is an ability I don't particulary find myself using alot since it can be blocked by minions & it's got a mediocre slow, if you ask me a slight buff to the slow % might be a good thing to consider.

2. His Playstyle is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than his previous one - I think this right here is a glaring issue as alot of players were accustomed to Aatrox's Older Playstyle, which was reminiscent of Auto-Attack Based Divers like Tryndamere & Jax . From what I'm seeing, New Aatrox's kit is more reminiscent of Melee Bruiser/Juggernauts like Darius & Illaoi . More over, this is alienating the playerbase that enjoyed Aatrox's old playstyle completely & I'm sure that's not what the Devs were intending to do here. This is one of the things they wanted to avoid with Leblanc if my memory is correct. Imagine if they gave Leblanc a VGU & they completely changed her from a trick-heavy Assassin/Mage to a Control Mage, I'm sure there would be hell to pay if such a thing were to happen.

Overall, it's ashame Aatrox's VGU is garnering as much hate as it is. I think it's pretty cool all around & might be pretty strong once you figure out how his kit works. Incase anyone wants to know what setup I'm currently running on Aatrox, here it is below. I will be continuously looking for more ways to play him.
