Aatrox, Guardian Angel pickup is a mistake

GA makes Aatrox's passive go away so you buy it and instantly die afterwards (even with passive off cd). Is this a good mechanic to keep in or something overlooked because it feels so weak with the current depleting ragebar mechanic. Also buff Aatrox pls, lol his late game is either good damage but gets deleted instantly ( before passive can come up ) or tanky and does no damage.

GA has always been a mistake on Aatrox unless you're miles ahead and building tons of damage to go with it. A double revive sounds nice in theory but it was very rare that it was actually useful. Now that Aatrox's passive works the way it does, GA is even worse than it already was. Couple that with the fact that Aatrox wants health now and GA is a shit item on him.

Aatrox is fine atm. If anything, the buffs on the PBE may be a bit too much.

?? You're saying it doesn't work or that its inefficient?

I'd think its inefficient too, redundancy is not synergy. But if they're just not working together at all that'd be a bug I think.

Actually Aatrox is decent lategame with a bruiser build basically Bork into clever into tank items feels the best build path on him currently as it allows him to survive long enough to proc his passive and provide some utility. The sterak's gage changes look like they could be decent on Aatrox with a bruiser build as well to give him extra time to proc his passive. Note I find his e max the best on him currently into W max and Q last.
