My first impression on "buffed" Aatrox
I just tryed to play Aatrox top against mundo. and here is what i have to say of it, if anybody is interested about Aatrox at all :D
First of all, my overall impression is that he is actually slightly nerfed not buffed, no offense Riot :)
here is why: first, by removing his bloodwheel he doasnt have early stability second, he depends even more on whether enemy decide to run from him or fight since his bloodrush starts to drop really fast , honestly , i felt like i can start to fight champions with him only with ulty, in which case he was dominant even eary and even after i died twice and had mediocre farm
third , now he is even more fragile when cc-ed since his blood on passive drops pretty fast when filled on max , so enemy can put him out of service even easier
good sides of "buff" as i see it: first ok , he doesn't lose his hp while filling his blood with W toogled on , which isnt much of an improovement since he have more unstable atack speed gain than he used to, since his blood wheel drops very fast if he doesnt fight ( on bloodrush)
second, he can recover more often , but yet he needs more luck to do so , because the enemy just needs to get away from him and wait when his blood rush ends(4 sec max)- and since his cooldowns are large on abilities he cant rly get back to it fast so this is a tiny inproovement on his sustain
finnal conclusion : hes more unstable, stronger(than before) late game, weaker(than before) early and if i add the fact that matches are shorter than before in general then this early to late game transfer in power seems like a missed bullet for riot team
so that is my first wiev on Aatrox rework, corect me if i made a wrong conclusion or something similar
i didnt rly have to try him in actual mid-late game since enemy were ultra fed on all lanes :)
P.S. i liked to play Aatrox as he was before, even though he wasnt among better picks atm
TO RIOT: good luck in further reworks on him , isn't an easy job i believe <3

EDIT1 : Btw Aatrox is one of the coolest champion that there are, none can deny it ;)
EDIT2: BTW Aatrox had a "feast or famine"(dominant or very low) problem Riot said.... Riven , Yasuo, Xin, Lee and other similar fighters have "feast and famine" problem(just dominant in both ways)....so the question comes naturaly by itself + Who are you kidding here by reworking Aatrox instead of giving him also the domination in famine (instead of trying to change his kit) ?+
