Sorry, Aatrox mains, but I'm not sorry

To everyone who is complaining about Aatrox rework, stop it. Reworks are not meant for buffing or nerfing a champion, they are meant to make them healthy in the Lol echosystem. Aatrox is a diver, which is a group of fairly tanky champion (some more, some less) who are good early and mid game and fall off late game, and whose work is, guess it, diving enemy team as engage or follow up to try and get the squishies. And a diver who gets played as a late game carry by building full offensive is NOT healthy for the others and especially for himself. Stop believing he's a carry, he should have never been that, it's just some poor choices in his kit who led to this, with the design of a diver but the scalings of a carry. Hence, a rework. Now he's what he was meant to be, a "drain tank" sustain diver. Please, stop getting attached to wrong designs. Maybe he could be undertuned now, but at least he's finally a good design.

Meddler said that his results for today's play was terrible. They will be further buffing him either in a hotfix or next patch

And this is good. I nevere said the rework was strong. I only said it was good.

So when a rework inadvertently buffs or nerfs a champion, don't people have a right to complain?

Yes, but they have to complain about the right thing. Aatrox new rework is weak, but is a successfull rework design wise? Perfect, now it's only a matter of numbers, so complain about those. Don't complain about mechanics that are needed to make him healthy.

They don't necessarily have to collide. If there's one thing that Riot and we all learned in all these years, is that stat checks are unhealthy. But they can work if they have windows of situational power. And anyway, Warwick is healthy now, and he's a drain tank.

That's pretty subjective i'd say Personally i'm not a fan of %dmg reduction

Damage reduction on a cooldown and with drawbacks is no different than Nocturne's spellshield or Pantheon's passive or Wukong's Invisibility. They all have the same purpose of shrugging some damage off, but it doesn't make a champion broken.
