We All Know Aatrox Needs a Little Somethin'

Dear Riot and Community of League of Legends,

I feel like it's general consensus that Aatrox needs either a buff or a rework. He struggles. His Q is too easily interrupt-able. His W isn't bad but is only useful on that third strike (which means more attack speed?) His E is a "V" shaped skill shot that isn't super rewarding considering: the fact that the ability narrows to a small point, the fact that the slow doesn't last very long especially in relation to how slow Aatrox seems to move compared to other champs. I personally can never seem to keep up with anyone, even if I purchase boots I am always kited ( which I realize ends up being my own fault due to stupidly, and angrily I might add, bronze chasing the enemy down (sometimes) resulting in my death. His R his ultimate move, is pretty darn good, but still doesn't always give him the sustain he needs in situations where everyone targets you in a team fight.

Overall I feel like the idea of Aatrox was and is cool. I actually enjoy playing him and using his abilities, but I feel like he is too unbalanced. His damage does not compensate for his squishiness, his abilities (Q mainly) are too easily interrupted. He doesn't have much in the way of trades or sustain. Yes I understand it requires some skill to play Aatrox, he is not a super easy champion to play and master. But he really does need some help. I've seen a plethora of concerns regarding Aatrox and I'm really hoping some action is taken.

Riot the players have spoken. You guys have said you do your best to address these issues and I'm sure you guys are always busy doing something. But please don't forget about Aatrox. He needs some love and attention too.

Thanks.

They've stated in numerous occasions that he's a strong candidate for the Diver class update.
