It's not the bit that whether or not Aatrox is good or not that bugs me it's his rework design. I just don't like it, his gameplay is too linear and one ability based (Q). His every other ability is just an insurance to help you land your Q (W - Lands enemies perfectly in the middle for you to hit it, E - Allows you to reposition, and R - Allows you to catch up).
He's just so boring to me now, I used to be quite an Aatrox player back in the day. I feel really bad for those people who main the poor guy. Visually he looks epic but gameplay wise, I just can't ever play him again.
