Aatrox Rework: How is This Viable?

So I'm trying out the new changes and even the mid patch update. Nothing changed. Like his q is still so clunky when trying to hit, his e still has such a small hitbox. Basically looking at the numbers, you just buffed his scalings thats it. If you want an actual rework, can you make is so that his q is a lot easier to hit, because the hitbox on that is way smaller than it indicates. His E is also one of the weirdest skillshots ever. Like how can you even aim that? will probably be garbage in the game until he received some actual changes and not just buffs and nerfs.

~~His Q was just as impossible to land before.~~ Just read that you pointed that out as one of your complaints.

And have you tried to land Diana's Q before? It's only a bit less strange in its mechanics.

If they want to fix aatrox I think the best way to do this would to do three things:

increase the range on his Q (not just cast range but the impact range aswell)
allow his W to be an active and auto reset, make his healing version just be a passive on it. To add to that idea, make the W work similar to volibear's E (after x amount of attacks activate W to do a big auto).

and 3) I personally think the E is alright, but I think his passive mainly needs a buff on the CD (this is only because of the recent changes). Since now it requires you to get five stacks, which can be hard if you don't have ult, it feels like 180 secs is too long to expect the player to cope without it, I think it should be in a boat with tryndamere ult where you should assume its always up. I'm simply saying something like 60 secs at the most to even out the challenge that is required to get it off in the first place.

I think he's almost in a healthy position, I personally liked the changes that they made recently, but he needs more that just number changes to get him over that line.
