"oh sh*t!"

"oh shit, illaoi ulted. Run!" "oh shit, mf ulted, move out of the way!" "oh shit, kennen ulted, run!" "oh shit, amumu is coming, carefull from his ult!" "oh shit, swain ulted... wait, that's aatrox. just kill this dude 1.5 times"

this rework was the shitter, i mean really! wtf was riot thinking? he has the most lame kit i've ever seen. lamest e in the world, a w which my grandmother can escape from. i'm really interested on which wank-stains riot put as a rework team for aatrox.

i imagine the discussion before the release him like this:

rework team: shows kit. manager: "hmmmmmmm.. what's the difference between this dude and riven?". r: "for you see, in the q has another zone which deals more damage, and has bigger range" m: "e?" r:"2 dashes insted of 1" m: "seems right to me, what about the ult, they kinda look the same" r: "here's the most interesting part, they are the same, BUT THEY ARE NOT!" m: mindblown. r: "indeed, they both give the same amount of ad, but aatrox has a passive instead of a reactive ability" m: "WOW, you really did good at this one, release is tomorrow".

you can change the numbers on this champion how much you want, but his kit is still bad. ult is the most uninteresting thing in the world. he gets bigger and gainst 20% more ad(same as riven). gainst a bigass wings and "reveals his true form". what does his true form do?. well instead of changing his abilities to be something better, he just lives again. what a waste of potential. you could make his last q a dash like the old one, or atleast make his abilities something different.

his e: wtf? instead of allowing movement from his q, you made the movement an ability to fill a slot. wtf riot.
