New idea for iteration: if Aatrox dies while is under his ultimate, he's transformed into a Darkin Sword, that is sticked to the ground up to 12 seconds before he finally dies. One ally can revive him by channeling for 4 seconds, but with a cost of 50% of its current life. Enemies can destroy the Darkin Sword by attacking it.
See, your suggestion is a perfect way to showcase why it did need to be removed.
If a "fix" is to make it even more unreasonable of a gimmick than it already was, that just goes to show that there's no place for unreasonable gimmicks in kits that are supposed to be balanced.
How about not giving a full damage diver the ability to dive without penalty? Period. Any time they make diving easy on full damage champs, they end up problems, whether its ekko, fiora, camille, aatrox, Irelia, etc...doesn't matter. Champions need LESS agency, not more.
Because of the team reliance, it'd only be effective in pro play. Meaning he'd be gutted just for having a revive.
How about no revive period and we kill this discussion? He didn't need the revive at all.
