like seriously he's bad. give him a rework... he's like a juggernaut, except that he does zero damage, and is hella squishy. IDK why people even play him, he's incredibly useless.

Aatrox definitely needs to get looked at, his problems lie in how reliant he is on sustain and the windows in which he can't use it. I don't agree on the juggernaut idea though, Aatrox is more like a diver bruiser such as JarvanIV , XinZhao , or even Rengar . I did come up with a rework that kept some of his sustain and made it scale more with his total health, in a thread about Varus and Aatrox 's current in-game states.

yea :o good point about him kinda feeling like jarvan. I really could see that rework for aatrox being very cool. I mean both have a dash that's also a knockup, and j4's ult forces people to fight him, while aatrox's ult makes him stronger if people are fighting him. and, xin too is kinda like this. a dash, a knockup, and his ult seperates a group from a target.

he's more like a diving fighter than a juggernaut

I fully support him being reworked into the latter

I am interested in his ability to dive, but he's so squishy that usually people just arrive late when his passive's going and start tanking the turrets etc. it's like, if he aint good in the high elos because he's easy to kite, and he aint good in the low elos because his teamates don't know what to do with their aggressive allies, then he really needs to be taken a look at on what can be improved.

I really would like him losing his unreliable mobility (I find it frustrating more than rewarding) in exchange for a more interesting kit based around fighting

The Juggernaut bruiser class seems much more fitting for him, though maybe he could be the one who can actually dive or chase well

well, the idea of a juggernaut is a hard-to-kill and heavy-hitting champion who is low-mobility, so if they reworked aatrox's kit he'd probably lose his dive.

I think that if they want to rework him to feel like the same champ, they'd focus him as a dive bruiser, like cFlame says.
