So Olaf needed a buff, but Aatrox is fine? @meddler

Seriously, was Olaf picked less? No. Was his win rate lower than Aatrox before the buff?

How can Meddler say they like where Aatrox is at and then turn around and buff Olaf who was always a tough opponent?

"Olaf’s a champion that has all the tools necessary to stick to targets and wreck faces in a big brawl, but there’s one problem: he’s dying too fast"

Is that a joke? Aatrox dies fast all the time. Olaf has an ult that makes him immune to CC and gives him bonus resistance. He has a much better chance of surviving an all-in than Aatrox.

What a joke. This really blows my mind.

They haven't said that. They've actually said that they don't really like where Aatrox is at, but they think is design is, to put it charitably, completely fucked. He's about as binary of a diving champion as you can get, and they want to rework him.

Basically, they think Olaf is a healthier champion than Aatrox, so Olaf can get straight balance changes while Aatrox needs more complex design changes. You can agree or disagree with them on that point, but it's very clear that they definitely don't like where Aatrox is.

Except Aatrox is like XinZhao when he's in a decent state due to his initiation and staying power. That's why Riot won't buff him. They want to rework him.
