I Hope Aatrox doesn't get changed too badly if he gets reworked

Hello Summoners! Thank you for checking out this page! Now onto the topic. Aatrox is in a pretty good place right now. Sure, his stats may not be the best compared to top tier top laners and junglers, but his kit is what makes him so fun to play! Meddler said Riot wanted to make some changes to Aatrox to match his theme but I think he's fine. I think the REAL problem is his leap and passive. First off, Aatrox's Q should leave him invulnerable for the duration of the leap. How silly is it that Aatrox could be midair and could easily get kicked by Lee Sin or knocked away by Tristana or Vayne? Heck! He can even die in the air! Also, Aatrox's passive was buffed to help him participate in team fights late game. How can he when as soon as he dies he revives just to get trampled? There should be a small change where maybe he could fear or even slow enemy champs around him for a brief chance of escape. Others than those small flaws, Aatrox is a very fun champ and it would be a shame if his kit was changed drastically. Thanks and I would LOVE some input.

I like him, he's fun, but he's not very strong right now cause everything he can do another champ does better. I wish he was a little stronger early game.

I'm also hoping that Aatrox's kit stays relatively close to its current iteration, but there will have to be numbers tweaks across the board and probably a few ability tweaks. He just needs a few changes to help him find a better niche and fill it well.

Playing up his regeneration from low health thanks to Blood Thirst would be a good change, as well as possibly increasing the range or speed of Dark Flight to make it more reliable (as his primary initiation, it's pretty silly that it can be interrupted by CC). I'd also like to see more oomph out of his ultimate. For an ability with such a cool name, Massacre doesn't accomplish much for him. I'd love to see something change - maybe it heals him based on the enemy champions hit? Maybe it's an AoE fear on activation? But something.

His passive is fine as-is. It currently functions just the same as other resurrection passives in that it leaves him inherently vulnerable, so I see no reason to change that.

I like his passive. It's good for winning a 1v1s, tower diving with minions, a 'get-out-of-jail-free card' for things that kill him outside teamfights (like karthus ult, lux ult, ez...etc.). It also helps compliment his high-risk high-reward style.

REMOVE the revive and replace it with sth usefull and done he can get buffed and make him less dependent on having ad, life steal and auto speed. And to sth about his heal it is way to vulnerable to auto slows and cc.
