He is in a great spot right now. Aside from aesthetics he does not need any changes.

Oh really? When he's extremely squishy and basically has a crappy version of a malphite ult as a q, A kit full of useless AP scalings since he can't even use guinsoo's, adnd there are more reliable picks right now. I've made a post stating about his problems here. :http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/aklzMas3-should-aatrox-be-reworkedbuffed

Crappy version of a malph ult? thats generous at the least.

Well it's a basic ability, it shouldn't be as powerful, but right now it's super predictable and extremely easy to counterplay.

It gets paused if someone breathes on him when hes midair LOL. Low range, low damage, easy to dodge, easy to cancel, the list goes on. It's weak even for a basic ability.

His kit is terrible unless its unbearable to versus.

His Q is among the shittiest abilities in the game. It does no damage, drains 10% of your health, has unreliable, negligible CC, though it does get him in the middle of a fight (if that's where you want to be) or away from it. As long as that fight was about a flash range away.

His E is...an alright poke tool in lane but it's damage is equally unimpressive, even in an all AD build. But that's okay, because your auto attacks are capable of healing you back up and dealing the damage your abilities don't, he said sarcastically setting up his next point.

The only good thing about his autos is that he gets so many of them. Building AD doesn't really help him since the heal on his W scales terribly with the stat, and the damage portion actually hurts you more for it, so building AS is basically the way to go. The problem is that the heal is terrible when he's not low, which should be cool because it gets OK when he's low, but...YOU'RE LOW NOW.

You have your passive to back you up, I suppose, but in an offensive build you're going to spawn with absurdly low health with a big chunk of attack speed missing, preventing you from healing back up. In a tank build you lose basically your only attack speed, so your damage becomes worthless, though you can still take some damage before you inevitably die again.

The only time Aatrox can be good with his current kit is if his heals are good enough that he can continue his auto attack to heal pattern going indefinitely (like Swain).

I just...can his Q at least get a slow after I knock someone up? Like I have a lot of complaints with the champion but if he at least got that little band-aid maybe I wouldn't rant every time I saw an Aatrox thread. Maybe just like...every other time.

Are you on drugs ?

He currently has the lowest winrate and playrate ever recorded for Aatrox.

Technically you're right, and I think the Q should be unstoppable under certain conditions (50% or less HP? 70%+ filled bloodwell? During ult?) and it would be a good skill . Right now it's in the kha'zix top lane tier (Kha'zix mid is viable, just underrated) (You'll have a hard time to deal with most toplaners). Or if you prefer, 'yorick tier'.
