Hi all, after the video from exil a lot of us from aatrox mains are still crying out for change and a way to get aatrox's identity back in some form it covers it really well and expresses how the removal was a complete removal not a rework. Theres nothing in the game anymore that really fills that void of his old playstyle and were hoping to get any kind of change out of this. There are a lot of valid reasons to why old aatrox was unhealthy but some of the final stages of his minireworks he was in a good place with clear counter play options and still the amazing playstyle that we enjoyed so if theres anything we could get back from that it would be amazing. Personally ive spent over 1 million points into the old aatrox before rework and know a lot of others with a ton of points on him aswell. its something where we loved the character and gameplay but was taken away with out care for the ones who really enjoyed it to replace it with something that is only similar in name.

My issue with that video is they act like Aatrox was the only champ to ever been remade

Galio Sion Yorick Urgot were treated the same and kept as much as Aatrox did as well

Revert Aatrox.

Aatrox is not Aatrox. He’s an okay champion, but none of his kit even resembles Aatrox.

If Darius came out today and was named Ezreal the whole community would be confused. Why should this character be allowed to steal the name of another?

I'd kill to have old Aatrox back tbh. Don't get me wrong I love the current Aatrox, but if they're just going to keep gutting him for the rest of the game, I'd rather have the old Aatrox back, even if he was shit he was still way more fun then the current iteration.

Once it was my favorite champion, now it's dead to me.

Riot... Allow both playstyles of Aatrox. Selectable like a Skin. But gameplay changes as well. Please! I hope the Devs see this. Riot Support told me to post this on boards.

There is nothing that is more needed in this game then Riot showing they were wrong in what they did, and correcting it by reverting.

he was never broken riot just couldn't be bothered with him cause he doesn't sell skins like Ahri. Its a prove fact they balance around skin sales and worlds viewer count over solo queue and aatrox didn't fill either. Pretending Aatrox was unhealthy for the meta when at the time we had zed with a 100% pick ban at worlds. shen deciding the top meta the entire season with a 96.8% pick ban at worlds. corkie with a 93.7% pick ban at worlds, and zyra with a 76.2% pick ban is kind of a joke. This was the time Aatrox was considered "op" and he achieved... a 56.8% pick ban rate... pretty much as average as it got. Pretending Aatrox was unhealthy to balance back then but currently has the highest pick rate of all top laners and the lowest winrate in plat + games and saying he is healthy now? He isnt healthy and stop using the excuse the new one requires skill he simply doesn't no more then olaf requires skill to throw his q and pick it up. I think that is a complete joke. And Aatrox being reworked in patch 8.13 to later be followed by the rework akali in 8.15 which has 4 passives on her passive and saying the old aatrox was unhealthy? Or lets look at ryze who riot has stuck to his theme completely over the past few years of being a mana scaling burst mage despite the fact simply due to the items that have mana on them a burst mage that can burst will never be balanced in this equation. Or lets talk about how they removed DFG to stop tanks like Malphite going ap but oh no this effects their favorite little skin seller Ahri. You know what she can have DFG on her E + got more utility on her q and on her passive just making her factually stronger. Plus lets address the goal of the dfg rework was to stop burst tanks? and meanwhile malphites current item build in jungle is full ap? So all removing DFG did was Nerf every ap champion expect the 3 they directly buffed being ahri, katarina and annie the three that sell the most skins? Weird isn't it.... Sorry if this seems angry but I kind of am cause the was no valid reason for the rework and any aatrox player worth his salt can quickly disprove most of the claims that have been made up by people who never played him and experience a single patch of dominance for him to remembered by.

Old Aatrox had a kit that was not balancable from a competitive point of view.

I know it sucks.

But that is the reality of evolving games with progressing player skill caps.
