Aatrox's ult is way too oppressive

I'll keep this short and sweet. Why does a Zilean ult last for 5 seconds, and give 0 buffs to an ally except the revive on death, but Aatrox's ult lasts for 12 Seconds, Gives him 120 / 180 / 240 bonus Movement speed, AND 20 / 25 / 30% AD during the duration of it, WHILE getting bonus AD from his Dash? Do you think it lasts fu#%#%# long enough? You cant even wait for the Ult to fizzle out like you can verse a Zilean because it lasts so long, he'll wipe your team out. This ult should last 5 seconds as a MAX duration, considering how much easier it is to use compared to the old Revive, and the fact that the old revive only lingered for 4 seconds unless you were in combat with a champion. This ult alone makes Aatrox an un-interactive champion.

I mean if you want to ignore the fact that Zilean's has literally half the CD of Aatrox's base (not accounting for Zilean's CD reduction skill), the fact that he can potentially heal for more with his ulti then Aatrox and the fact that you can put it on anyone, as well as the biggest fact of being two wildly different champions I guess this is totally a fair comparison.

And people wonder why Riot doesn't look to the "community" for balance.

I don't think any Aatrox player is actually satisfied with Aatrox's current ult but not because they think it's overtuned lol.

You can die if you don't channel the ult in time.
The movement speed buff is only good OUT of combat and if you're OUT of combat that's limiting the actual duration in which you have the threat of the GA passive.
The AD is just a bonus, realistically, unless it's late game, Aatrox will only be able to go through 1 rotation of skills, 2 AT MOST.
His Ult is counter-intuitive with the fact that his E HEALS him, leaving him in an awkward position where he usually dies after it times out.
It has a decently long cooldown.
It heals/revives you for jack all.
It's really quite boring.

Because Zil ult is used on allies?
