Except everytime he gets his passive up everyone just kites him until it runs off and then kill him. He relies on early kill to snowball and he definitely can't be tanky.
Early kills on him are easy because he's always underestimated. He's not tanky in stats or build but he can draintank like a motherfucker. NO ONE wants to 1v1 an Aatrox whose passive hasn't been used, except maybe a Jax due solely to his counterstrike.
It's incredibly easy to keep his passive up and kiting him is hard if the player understands his kit. He's got an effective, long range slow and a good gap closer with cc. Even if you do get away his ult increases his aa range and the CD is pretty low.
I have played some Aatrox, it's indeed true people understimate his level 2-3 damage. But once you start facing decent toplaners it'll be hard to keep your passive up.
It's also true he has some cc but it's extremely easy to dodge when he is at max range or when you have a little bit of mobility in your kit.
If your enemy puts pressure on you and doesn't let you get a bunch of stacks you are pretty vulnerable and easy to zone from cs. Well you can always farm with E you will say, but that is a terrible situation since Aatrox's E pushes waves so for every creep you get with E you probably miss 2.
Last but not less important, until
and
and any kind of healing reduction exist he can't be a drain tank.
EDIT: i wanna add that if you miss your Q in lane you are going to die or get out halved and i'm being optimistic.
Why do you think they are reworking him right after Irelia?
They can't have his power be discovered.
