He should have been reworked first. Instead, hes just going to sit as he is for however long. Riot really doesn't care about balancing the game, they have personal agendas. Everything they accused Aatrox of, Tryndamere has in spades.
boricCentaur14 votesTryn has a player base unlike old Aatrox. Tryn also has been a much better spot balance wise vs old aatrox.

great, so hes protected because hes popular. Riot doesnt care about the integrity of the game. Just money. And they will lose money in the long run by not caring, because other companies will make better games and take their players.

can you blame Riot for caring about money? You know this is their job right? Why do you work?

No, I don't. I blame them for not realizing that their hyper focus on money is ultimately going to cause them to make less. I blame them for not caring about money ENOUGH. I believe they will fade into irrelevance because a better company will eventually make a better game that appeals to league players.

You're right but when will that game come out? What do league players actually want? From what i can tell especially from the boards most people are content with the game as long as certain champs get buffed and others get nerfed. Most of the time when someone really tries to argue a large change they get downvoted and called bad.
boricCentaur12 votesUmmm are you trolling or due you just not understand the point of reworking a champion?Since the main point of reworking a champion is to make them more popular and to make them easier to balance. Riot can buff tryn without breaking him they couldn't do that with Aatrox.
Also don't act like Aatrox has some good number of players that riot betrayed since they didn't no one played Aatrox he was boring with a shit load of balance problems.
DarkinPrime1 votesThats a lie. His kit could have easily been balanced. Its a lie that Riot peddled to justify deleting a champion right out of the game.
All you had to do was decrease his healing, increase his toughness or provide small way to mitigate incoming damage, (such as during his ult, or part of his passive) let his damage and healing both scale off of AD, not off of max HP, and turn his ult into a form of team fight buff. Keep his E magic damage, and let it do some kind of torment, where enemies receive extra damage when hit by Aatrox or allies, or provides vision on them for x seconds.
There were countless ways his kit could have been balanced. To say it wasnt possible is fucking absurd, and shows your limited thinking, or your propensity to swallow whatever bogus load of crap Riot puts out.
boricCentaur11 votesNo its not a lie and nothing you said would of worked like did you even fucking PLAY Aatrox. The only reason he was good after the mini rework was because of rageblade without it he was shit like that's how poorly designed he was.
If you want to play a more balanced Aatrox go play fucking xin like the ONLY people who thought Aatrox was fine were the very small amount of Aatrox mains that couldn't get over the fact that there skill less champions was poorly designed and was super boring.
DarkinPrime1 votesI had the 4th most played ranked matches in the world with Aatrox on one of my other accounts.
I know his kit better you than you will know anything in your life.
Everything I said would have worked. Why are you so emotionally attached to defending Riots awful decision?
boricCentaur11 votesI'm your not just wrong and refuse to admit it. Like I'm sure a yorick main would say the same thing so you saying it means nothing since it's wrong.
DarkinPrime1 votesYou are assuming I have a bias.
Wrong. I wanted old Aatrox to be more viable, not super strong and popular. Any suggestions I made were reasonable so he wouldn't become broken or overbearing.
I am absolutely right. I mained Aatrox against any top laner.
YOU are just parroting crap you hear on the boards. Its not based on any real world experience maining aatrox through the ranks.
So, keep your ignorant opinion to yourself

At least he has more counterplay than the very top tier picks for the lane that he belongs to. And he wields a noob friendly kit for newcomers. Sadly, as time passes by, and the diversity (the bully one) keeps growing up in top. He will eventually dissapear into uselessness...
Iota Theta1 votesperhaps Tryn is worse than old Aatrox in that regard. One champ’s state does not negate the state of another though. It could’ve just been a factor of “Hey, here’s this idea for Aatrox” when also not sure where to take Tryndamere.
haaaaaaalp1 votesThey probably realized too late they shouldn’t have reworked aatrox so they aren’t making the same mistake for trynd. Aatrox actually proved to be a good champion who had pro play presence without being overbearing and middle of the road solo queue pick rate without garnering obscene banrates. The problem is that this happened as the aatrox rework was being shipped on pbe and it was too late to change course.
