ok so why would you even dare to pick aatrox

...Yes, can you believe it? I understand well enough that in order to me good use of his kit, you either tank up, or go full damage, because his kit has a hard time supporting builds that aren't full damage or full tank, his stats and the raw power of his abilites are also quite low for the hp you have to pay to use them, when its plain easier to just pick a similar champ with a mana source and a similar kit. Is that what you wanted to point out? Or did I miss something?
