Aatrox, how do we give love to a champ that has been left behind?

{quoted}

i saw that he was coming up again soon! I just hope they actually change something this time, the passive change was cool but he didn't get any actual changes to his abilities that are causing him to be so trash teir. As a person who thinks Aatrox is a super cool looking champ i hope they do him justice and make a cool kit so i can main him post rework!

So do i. He's been in a terrible place for too long. I hope they nail his rework like they did for WW.

As someone who took the time to be M7 with him ( cause i like the darkin race to much) I can say he is a strong toplaner. He is a strong duelist and as long as bait out any hard cc you can pretty much snowball in lane.
That being said.
He does need work. I personally do not feel like his kit meshes well with itself or his persona. He is supposed to be this ancient presence that can move swiftly through a battlefield and when he shows up you know it. This is not the case mid to late game, and only applies if he snowballs early and hard. Even if Aatrox snowballs any hard cc quickly ends him.
He needs help and i just wish i knew what to do with him. I hope the rework sticks to his lore a little. I love how much kayn's gameplay coincides with his lore.
