Riot discriminates against Aatrox with lack of movement speed
Below is every movement speed ability. Aatrox is very alone in not having a way to actively or passively increase his movement speed.
This is a huge issue as it affects his ability to chase, and now that means his ability to keep Blood Rush active.
Does Riot ever look at the big picture to figure out why a champion struggles? Or do they miss the forest for the trees when looking at Champions?
