Ask Riot the Trust Question and Aatrox

'What are your thoughts on Aatrox? He feels like he is in a horrible state and could use some buffs or a rework. We'd like to do some significant work on Aatrox when we do a class update to diving fighters. Aatrox has a theme with an enormous amount of potential. At present, however, his gameplay is a bit generic, doing a mix of things plenty of other fighters also do. That means, unless he's the best at those things, he's not going to be the best pick gameplay wise. Our goal with an update, as a result, would be to make him more unique, taking advantage of his backstory and letting him bring some distinct tools to a team. We'd also like to do some work before then, both to help him out slightly (he's a little on the weak side) and at least start to push him in a more focused direction. At a rough guess, sometime around the pre-season is when we'll likely look at that.'

Meddler, Lead Game Designer

Well. Now that you lied about the preseason buffs and him getting a rework in the next class update.

I think its time for some buffs. Don't you?

They said they'd look into it, not that they would actually have it by then. There's a difference. And where did they say it would be in the next class update?

If any, this article points to it being a long-shot of Aatrox getting looked at, since it required several pre-requisites. It in no way is a promise of any kind. Regardless, being acidic and acting like a child who didn't get what they wanted will solve nothing.
