Thoughts on Aatrox jungle?

Obviously he's not up there with Vi or Lee, but I do think he's pretty solid for a few reasons. One is his ability to fit multiple roles, similar to how a few pros played him top lane last season. If I'm ahead, a more damage/carry build is certainly viable, and does quite a bit of sustained damage. If I'm behind, I can go straight tank, and be an initiator/disruptor for team fights, yet still do damage with my blood price/blood cost ability.

Second is his built in sustain, which helps greatly in this jungle. It allows him to solo early dragons, and can spend the extra gold on wards as he doesn't need pots. Also being manaless helps a ton, as blues can always be donated without it really affecting me.

His weaknesses are that he can be squishy early, or even later if not build correctly, and the fact that he doesn't fit one role extremely well, as he doesn't have the teamfight of a wukong, or the assassination ability of a Kha'zix. However I do think he's pretty solid, and were devour a bit better, might be one of the better junglers to pick. Anyway, let me know what you guys think, as I could be completely off base with him.

You forgot one thing; he's super fun.

But he's also dependant on using his early power and solid kit comparable to Pantheon to get kills.

His main weakness in both top lane and jungle is that while he has a pretty strong first couple of levels, he quickly falls behind without farm. Aatrox just needs so much gold and items to be the unkillable demon lord we all love and fear and that kinda gold just doesn't exist in the jungle. However all your points about his versatility and tank aspect are true and that is his biggest strength.
