So I've been spam picking Aatrox, and here's what I have to say.

He's really good, but has some issues in his kit.

His ult does nothing, it's hardly an ability and the main reason I even cast it is for that 20% extra AD. You do nothing when you revive besides get insta killed immediately because you have no set up damage, which is what Aatrox's new kit is revolved around. It needs to do some AOE damage or something of that matter, because how it stands right now, is completely pointless. I don't feel like a "World Ender" with it at all.

His W is completely meh, and when I do end up bulling champions to the center of it, it just doesn't feel as rewarding as it should be. I end up killing champions without even using my W because of how well i've been landing my combo's with Tiamate. It either needs to do more damage, or should apply a heavy slow that rapidly decreases over time. Players are just walking right out of the ability without boots.

Other than that, well done Riot. I'm really enjoying this champion, he feels rewarding to play, offers great team fight potentional and has great aoe damage. Regarding all the whiny posts about "how you ruined aatrox", they havn't played enough of him. They're just complaining because they got shit on in lane and missed all their abilities.

I wouldn't mind if activating World Ender would increase the ranges and widths of all his abilities by like 75 units. Just to keep it proportional with his size you know?

Alot of the "Whiny Post's" are previous Aatrox mains who claim that his kit isn't a true embodiment of his champion or his lore, nor is it fun or does it include the elements that made Aatrox enticing to them. Also isn't that last line pretty contradictory considering you're complaining about his kit?

I agree about his R being super lackluster. In lane people just wait it out if you can't engage them hard enough and in teamfights you still get fucked unless you're whole team is with you.

his W is also trash because most champions can just casually walk out of it and your Q

Honestly his ult should probably just mini fear on revive or something. Even something as small as 0.5 seconds would make it more worthwhile. It's not like they can't just outrun you to dodge it. It would be entirely to prevent you from getting teabagged in teamfights where people can just sit on top of you and blow you up.
