New Aatrox kit contradicts itself and this is why

Yup, I played the new re-work Aatrox a few times and words cant even describe the level disappointment. Its sad because I main Aatrox lvl 7 with almost 800,000 point on this champion. It took awhile but I put in a lot of work and effort to get to know and master Aatrox. But now I cant even recognize my own champion. And I would like to say his whole kit contradicts itself.

This is what I mean: Aatrox is a melee champion and his Q hitbox is hard to hit, too far, and do 0 dmg to close champions. (USELESS) His W not the easiest thing to land but so easy to escape. (SAD) HIs E feels like a old men with a cane trying to dash.... ewwww (TERRIBLE) His Ult gives you movement speed but your abilities requires you to stand still. (A JOKE)

With that being said, I'm now looking for my new main.

"Abilities require you to stand still." I don't think you're using them correctly if you're standing still lol

his w isnt the problem. its weird, but from a design perspective its perfecty fine. the problem is really that hes a melee champion without abilities that help him in melee range.

only his third q is useful when hes already close and personal to his opponent. the first two casts are worthless in that case.

??? He deals extra 50% at the sweet points. It will still deal a good amount of damage.

HIs E feels like a old men with a cane trying to dash

His dash exists solely to help him land q. No shit its small.

His Ult gives you movement spend but your abilities requires you to stand still.

While admittedly his ulti has shittons of contradictions on how you should use it, thats not the problem. The movement speed buff is out of combat. As such your statement is wrong.
