It doesn't seem like Riot is going to touch him until he gets a rework of some sort, which will month/years since they have others to prioritize. But it seems kind of lazy to not at least give him some degree of buff/change so he isn't a useless champion, who's only good if he gets 4 kills in the early game and gets stated by 15mins.
Doctor Jarvis1 votesAatrox is a champ that, because of his sustain and high potential dueling ability, simply can't be allowed to be good on the merits of his kit. Riot doesn't want to buff him without a rework because he could probably start ripping people to shreds for no reason and never die (not that recent decisions in terms of champ design haven't accomplished the same, but there's a lot more levers to pull,ones that simply haven't been, in the Juggernaut's kits than in Aatrox's)
Guy Fox Teemo1 votesI don't see how some small buffs to help him clear the jungle, or up his base stats so he isn't as squishy as a adc would, make him OP. Or making his Q more reliable and less clunky.
