He's slow and can't hit shit.
Make his Q sweet spots a mini slow instead of a knock up and make the Q animation faster or scale with attack speed. Make him a champion with a faster rotation so he can compete and actually hit his opponent instead of them simply walking circles around him.
You realize he'd need heavy early game nerfs to do that, right?
Aatrox is still viable
He is its just you need to pick him right and not for obv losing matchups lol
i was thinking the same as you if his Q was faster with attack speed, his passive also is reduced with each AA
but i think they wont because 'it reduces counterplay' or something
Personally i dont remember a single time when i lost a lane as Aatrox... Though i play all champs so not have wider experience. All i have is pressing Q 3 times and opponents are down.
For me he seems pretty strong. He was picked also in world and performed really really well.
Though in lower ELO i can understand why he may considered to be bad. Since lategame he is a good teamfighter, and if you dont have team its not an 1v5 either a burst champ who can get free picks randomly. But he seems a pretty good splitpusher to me if cant rely on team.
bro maybe land a q then you might hit something you need to read your oponent and dash in the direction they are moving in then land your w then walk up and hit ur other q sweetspot while they are impaired and trying to move out of w and then if they dont get out of ur w after u q the second time you can q for the third time back where he is pulled too
