Just playing Aatrox once and I saw

#His ult gives him 20% blood pool for each enemy champion hit that must be really useful when I jump into 5 without any attack speed steroid from my blood well and hope I can hit all 5 with my 175 range ult.

#His passive revive gives more than enough time to reposition an entire team and plop CC to instantly kill the 1/5 HP aatrox with** no AS sterioid from blood well** Must be really useful never. Would be like respawning from item 3026 and getting immediately exhausted.

#His E and Q are his only forms of sticking to an enemy and have 10-14 second cooldowns while being extremely hard to land

#His W Is his only form of sustain, while also being his only form of damage The most counter productive thing I've ever seen. One form damages him so that he needs even more sustain that he's already in desperate need of , and the other gives sustain. Highly dependent on item 3812

These are his major issues that make him feel clunky/not viable.

Well a passive as powerful as a second life from death must have major draw backs right? How the design of the revival thing isn't bad its in a decent spot. The rest of this post I agree when he loses that attack speed steroid he feels really weak. The W is all about management so using the W at optimal times is how Aatrox complexity kicks in. I just feel when he revives that he should lose a Red bar which is the blood well and keep a white bar which is attack speed and only falls out of combat. This alone might be just enough to give him strength to compete.

I love how most people complaining about Aatrox are the ones that have just bought him, played him and are displeased for spending 6300 ip on a champ that isn't instantly imba from the first game.

Aatrox indeed has many issues and is in need of a rework but, can we please stop this pathetic nagging over him already? He is not THAT useless, especially in the jungle.

With 20% CDR, which isn't hard to get on Aatrox, your E has about a 6.5s CD. Since your passive depletes your Bloodwell, its often best to save your Ult until after you get downed.
