Riot, you screwed up royally with Aatrox. Read and be ashamed
You you were too incompetent to tweak his kit and abilities in a way that preserved his identity and play style.
THEN, you come on here an lie to me and others saying that you polled Aatrox players. No, you didn't. No Aatrox mains would have said to make him more like Riven. You insult your customers.
There were so many good ideas tossed around over the years. You literally listened to none of them, except a couple I pointed out--his kit lacking any form of armor pen, % health damage, true damage etc, AND him needing some more mobility.
WHY did you do what you did. He looks flashy now. Great. He spams one ability. Wonderful. Its not fun, and its a fucking gimmick. You perpetuated or believed ideas that his kit was toxic or no fun to play against. Right, like fed
are fun to play against?
Aatrox could be easily shut down with CC. He had defined strengths and weaknesses. His win rate was around 50%. You had players that LOVED him. We made noise for years asking for him to be fixed NOT DELETED.
You arrogance company. No one was asking or hoping for what you delivered. Its disgusting and all of you who had a hand in this at Riot should be ashamed, and if it was within my power, I would fire you all instantly.
