Please God Do Not Update Aatrox If It's Only Nerfs
Riot i've been playing Aatrox for 3 years and he was the first champion I wanted to main, i've thought about quitting him so many times because of how bad I thought he was at the time but stuck with him because I loved his playstyle and all of that work and experience will be gone. His W heal was nerfed since you can't use the AD ratio (unless you max first), you can't use W heal in lane or you won't get stacks, his W damage was nerfed, you are forced to level up W first to make it even remotely useful in healing and damage (skipping out on E), his E is physical and does a LOT less damage to tanks early and late, his E now scales meaning it's not even useful at level 1 (tieing into the max W or E to make one even noticable in your kit), his passive gives only 20% AS at level 9 (riot please) vs 30% at level 1 for live, his passive stacks are never proced unless you have ulti and sometimes you still don't get all of the stacks with it, his passive only revives you when you have blood rush, botrk AS was nerfed so you can't even use your W without buying ANOTHER attack speed item and now your not a tank, he can't waveclear WITH hydra, your obviously encouraging him to become a tank...the list goes on and on.
This...this is new Aatrox. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125946874 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125951451 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125959644
Now look back at old Aatrox. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125964023 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125966359 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125965119
If this boring, nerfed type of aatrox goes through then i'm sure most of the old aatrox players will quit him and the people who think he's going to get a "buff" will still see him the same and not played.
