Aatrox needs a buff.

Aatrox is a somewhat forgotten champion. With the destruction of Devourer Aatrox has not made much of an impact on the game. In this article I will be writing where I think Aatrox needs to be buffed, and why. He has always been able to still be a solid champion in the game but not to the extents of like Darius, Nasus or Trundle. Fighter-Tank is a role that can be very powerful in the game but for Aatrox it just seems to underwhelming. Aatrox has a somewhat shaky early game, he is able to jungle and have a fair amount of HP when he moves from camp to camp, and later in the game her can clear quite fast, and that's great, but league of legends isn't only about how fast you can clear jungle camps, there is still ganks and objectives. Ganks is something that Aatrox is capable of.... when set up. Aatrox's E as we all know, is a slow, and it's a decent slow as well. He also has his Q, which is a fairly good knock-up. Although Aatrox is capable to powerful combos with a slow and knock-up, Aatrox is still targetable while flying in his Q. I propose his Q makes him untargetable while he in the air, this was he can't be interrupted for the short time that he is up in the air. Also if Aatrox is vulnerable in his Q then why can he not activate his E until he fully reaches the ground?? Why would an ability that makes him targetable not allow him to use another ability? I don't understand that. So in conclusion he needs his Q changed to untargetable, and also being able to activate his E inside of it. I'm not even asking for a statistical buff, just a mechanical buff, one that I think will make Aatrox a force to b e reckoned with.

Hes already in line for changes. The problem with just buffing his numbers is that hes a bit of a toxic champion game-play wise, which is why he was nerfed into such a weak state to begin with.

His w is obviously what defines Aatrox as a champion. His sustain in lane along with the ability to stay alive in the jungle is all credited to his w. The dmg on his w could be reduced but it's also what allows him to able to fight certain champs that excel in ad based combat, such as Yasuo or Master Yi. Aatrox is able to "out-lifesteal" other champs that are able to do a lot of dmg very quickly, but it still seems like he either has to build dmg or tank. There is still no way to mash both tankiness and dmg for him. He has no mana so he can't use anything like item 3078 or item 3025 or to their fullest potential. You either have to go full dmg or full tank and either way it just seems so underwhelming. Yes he can fight off champs like Yasuo, Master Yi, or Udyr but after that he is absolutely drained, making him either low hp or his passive is gone. The effectiveness of his passive doesn't have any potential without tank and with full dmg you are so squishy you get killed before you can react. Just seems like his passive is useless at times. If you have played Aatrox a good amount of games you know the struggle of dying under 2 or more enemies and your passive being wasted just so they can one shot you. I think the best ideas for buffs would include fudging his stats a bit and some mechanics fixes.

I said reduces his W's base damage Not the scale damage or healing. Giving him more attack speed and hp while keeping his w base damage the same would be a little busted. also if they wanted to make tank aatrox a think (people say its a thing but in my years of playing since season 2 ive never seen it) could make it so that if aatrox's blood well stores 40% of his hp if 40% passes what it currently is
