Aatrox is almost in a fine state, but.....@meddler
He can easily stomp lane and be a menace. I do it all the time. He can be shut down easily with hard CC, but if that CC has been used up not on him, then hes going to murder the entire enemy team.
I feel this is fair. However, he is unfairly handicapped by having a very unreliable dive, which is total BS. Since nearly every other champions with a dash, blink or jump isn't knocked down MID ability the way Aatrox is. Their ability is reliable, his is not.
Either rework him completely or do this:
1)Dark flight is immune to CC while Aatrox has a full bloodwell 2)Massacre should AOE effect minions and monsters, not just champions (so he has the added value of being able to steal dragon) 3)His basic attacks should have a range of 175 4)His movement speed should be changed from 345 to 350 5)Using Massacre automatically resets the cool down of Dark Flight and Blades of Torment.
I honestly think these changes would make him relevant while not being OP. His stats and lifesteal remain the same, so that balance is really not changed.
