I know what I'm about to say has probably been said a million times over. However, Aatrox is a champion that I have a small emotional connection with. When the Aatrox rework was announced I was skeptical. I thought it would be interesting and astronomically different than the previous Aatrox. So when it came out it was enjoyable. That's all I will call it for now. It wasn't almost devoid of any resemblance (Kit wise) to the previous Aatrox. The only thing that still stayed consistent was the revival and airborne on Q. Before the rework Aatrox was unique. He has something no other champion in the game had. Aatrox had a toggleable Basic Attack. He could switch it between healing and enhanced damage. This allowed for some really fun builds with tankiness and attack speed. This now leads me to current day Aatrox. He has 0 unique Mechanics. His Q is simply Riven's Q, His W is a very simple pull-based CC, His E is Riven's E, and his R is simply a buffing of pre-existing stats. Most league champions have at least 1 thing that sets them apart from other champs. But Aatrox doesn't. A champ I used to play when life wasn't going so well for me. A champ I used to play when things could've been a lot better. A champ that probably got me through some hard times. And I know that sounds stupid and sappy over a video game but he really was that special of a champ to me. Like how people get so attached to things like Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh. Aatrox was kinda like my Mickey Mouse. Now, he's just an overly nerfed amalgamation of champions that I've never really shown any interest in. I understand that it's a lot to ask Riot to revert a rework. People were paid and worked hard at the inception of current day Aatrox. However, I'd just like the opportunity to play Pre-Rework Aatrox again. One last time. Please help me get Riot to see this. It would mean an immense amount. I don't care about upvotes, likes, or shares. Just have someone from Riot see it, please. Even if the answer is no I wanna know why. Thank you

They reworked him and now consider him fine. His rework is a failure. Nobody seriously plays him because he's useless in every regard. Yet another failure by Riot. I'm dreading how they ruin Voli, Fiddle, and eventually Shyvana, my main of many years.
