Current Aatrox state

I play Aatrox for so long. I remember every his change etc. I was a bit upset when it got reworked, but also i liked new gamestyle based on using Q on entire enemy team, i like new reviwe etc.

But honestly - currently this champ is so disguisting. I can even stomp Irelia, that should not really be possible. I used to play 7/10 games with Aatrox, now i play like 10% of games with Aatrox. This used to be really hard champion with absurdally hard lane phase, and this was fun. I felt really good on every lane i won, but now there is no satisfaction. Why do Riot buff champions that good, that their mains complain?

So you're exactly the kind of person who only liked old Aatrox only because he was unpopular.

It's more like his champion was overbuffed so much that you don't even need to be good at it to win. It's annoying when your main champion becomes pick or ban.

That was old Aatrox, whenever he wasn't bottom-tier, he was pick or ban. Because his kit was toxic.

I'm not talking about old aatrox. There was a point after his rework where he was pretty balanced, but the recent changes once again made him overbearing and nullified the need for skill.

I'm saying old Aatrox was worse. It just wasn't noticed as much because they rarely made the mistake of buffing him.

And, honestly, if you beat an Irelia that was just a really bad Irelia. She has more than enough mobility to dodge the sweet spot every single time.

What was balanced wasn't really balanced. I know what time you were talking about, but what made him still very unbalanced during that "balanced" period was the free revive and the dash charge system.

He had a 47-48% winrate before these changes, which is acceptable for a riven-like champion. It should take a good amount of time to master the champion and get above a 50% winrate.

Actualy Aatrox before last changes was so unplayable - literaly every champion with dash defeated him. Champs like Darius Illaoi Irelia Kled Renekton Rengar Tryndamere Riven Quinn Pantheon Ornn LeeSin Jayce Jax could defeat me on lane without ANY effort, i could defeat maybe Mundo, Nasus and Volibear. But i mean that the fact that he is OP right now makes him totally unfun to play - this is like playing against bots, maybe can be fun for two-three games but then this is just boring. Also problem with banrate, i cant rly play him anymore so i moved to Elise, Bard and Ryze (who was also changed and there is same situation - i can be 6/0 with perfect farm without any effort).
