Aatrox's Ultimate (R)

The new, reworked Aatrox's ult seems very underwhelming, and exceedingly difficult to time correctly, especially when compared to his previous ult (pre-rework). The damage and speed buffs are nice, however it doesn't give him much of a more powerful feeling when you either die early in the ult, and revive with little health only to die again, or activate it just a little too early and you stay alive barely too long to be revived and die anyway. I understand that any revival ability comes with the potential of being killed immediately afterward, but the duration of it, going into nothing when it ends, is what concerns me. When is ultimate ends, with its short duration, absolutely nothing happens, and if enemy champions simply run away for a few seconds and you are low on hp, you will very likely die. I think that something like a healing effect or a buff would make the ultimate feel more worth using when going into a fight, instead of seeming like a sometimes useless ability. Even his old revival ability didn't just go away after a few seconds in combat, it stayed until he died, which is what made it good. Putting it into his ult, which has a short duration, makes it much less viable in long fights. If this is what valve meant for it, then so be it I guess, but if others agree that this ultimate is a bit underwhelming, then maybe it could see some sort of change in the future.
