Can we give Aatrox a real ultimate yet?
I know Meddler touched on this already here - http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/alR9fGRR-can-we-replace-aatroxs-ultimate-steroid-with-an-aoe-fear?comment=000c
Yeah, Aatrox's ult is not as satisfying as an ultimate should be and that's something I'd like to see us address at some point. Two attack speed steroids on the same kit diminishes the amount either's felt, especially when one of them's variable (Olaf suffers from this problem too). Splitting the ability's power between a PBAOE nuke and steroid also leaves both feeling somewhat unsatisfying when balanced. To top it off, the increased attack range is certainly useful, but not sufficiently different to really shake up his play while it's active (compare it to Kayle's E for example).
I appreciate the "getting involved in the conversation," and yes, I realize red posts =/= indicator for future changes. Honestly though, look at all the champions from Aatrox's release onward especially this quartet of Rek'Sai, Kalista, Azir, and Gnar. All high impact, great feeling ults when used and landed except Aatrox's. You literally never hear the LCS casters go "Woah, what a crazy Massacre from Aatrox!" Aatrox is just a walking Q-bot and doesn't even have the stats to back it up.
