Aatrox PBE Stuff

Aatrox "We've got some Aatrox changes that should be hitting the PBE early next week. Those are balance/game health changes, aimed at putting Aatrox into a better place until we can get to a larger update for him at some point. Main changes there are:
Shifting the passive to a windowed one (proc that grants AS/AD and revive if off CD for a duration, with some downtime). Goal is to offer periods of comparative strength and weakness (lot of the issues we've had with Aatrox's game health have been due to the nature of his revive passive) Removal of % health costs, probably a flat health cost on E. One of Aatrox's big issues is that he's pretty feast or famine, stat checking people hard with a drain tank pattern or just dying. Giving him the flexibility to build defense more (health) without getting as punished by his kit for it gives some good fallback options/alternate builds. Changing the W heal so it's not dependent on his AD, or as extremely different above/below 50% health. Ties in with the build path options above, with a % missing heal looking like a fairly likely mechanic. More details and context next week." - Meddler

It's nice to see Aatrox is getting looked at, thanks Riot.

I'm actually a little worried. I hope they don't make him not reliant on getting bonus AD TOO much, since then we would just have an AA-Focused Mundo with how he heals that builds pure Tank items.

Interesting. Doesn't really fix his core issues but it might make him more playable than he is right now at least.

I'm going to be 100% honest I'm personally really happy he's getting a mini rework. I main aatrox I have almost 600K mastery points with him and to see him getting work he desperately needs. I just hope they do good with it after seeing the ww rework and yorick I know they with do well. Just hope he will not be banned 24/7.
