Buff Aatrox

Okay, when Aatrrox got nerfed in 9.18 I made post sayig he will be useless. A bunch of self-proclaimed experts came in, downvoted me, and said that Aatrox is OP and needs the nerfs. The champ then went to the pits of hell with 43 percent WR-meaning that, sadly my predicitions on his nerfs were right. Even Riot understood how weak he is and reverted some of the Q nerfs. Still the champ is subpar and the sole reason is pro play It is baffling to me how the balance gets based on 200 people. He needs his passive revamped to at least 70 percent-if not full revert on the passive nerf to minions. It would be also nice to buff his AS( like Hashsinshin suggested). Anything to make him decent. Just because he was good in very niche areas and pros liked to use him due to his sustain means nothing. At this point a revert to old aatrox doesn't seem that bad. Yes, now Aatrox is that bad, I know and I am sad. People who got nailed by his lvl 9 triple qs while he was in ult and he hit them with 2 passives, will probably whine how broken he is. Riot should ignore this. I urge Aatrox lovers and Aatrox mains to rally so we can make the champ good again. I am a Darius main but I loved Aatrox and was doing decent with him, but ever since he got nerfed playing him is hell.

I actually had an idea for buffing him https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/04vfMrWZ-idea-for-buffing-aatrox-and-no-this-isnt-because-of-that-video

Kills two birds with one stone. Its basiclly his old passive, plus a decent buff, Which he sorely needs after the conqeror changes.

Just buff conq again so he can actually lane against tanks. I tried playing against a Sion today and it was like hitting a brick wall. Dude just builds straight armor, is fucking impenetrable, meanwhile chunking me with his attacks.

Yeah, aatrox's waveclear has been nerved too much and his passive heal from minions is shit right now. His strength in the laning phase has been nerved too much. He definitely needs a buff or maybe some changes. Another thing that I don't understand is that after his E has only 1 charge instead of 2, why not change the cd of his max E so he can use E on Q1 and Q3 at 40% cdr? I think it was a great nerf that he can only use E once in early laning phase but right now, even with 45% cdr, he cant use his E on both his Q1 and Q3 (you have to wait for like 0.5s if you use E on Q1)which is so stupid in team fights and late games. You always have to save his E for Q3 and his Q1 becomes almost useless. It is important in teamfights to have the first knockup with Q1+E. You don't need E with Q2 but it is so important to have E for Q3. Also, since his revive on his ult has been removed, he basically just sits there like a sandbag after he finishs his 3 Qs. Why not give him more mobility so it is easier for him to hit his Q3 in team fights? I feel like he is really in a weird spot in terms of team fights right now. He is not good in lane and not good enough in team fights either. The worst thing is that he sucks late game. I really don't know where riot wants to go with this champion.
