Yea, that guy which nobody plays him and you know that perfectly.

Somebody might say he is a bit op with sated devourer but who is not strong with that item? I feel like Riot doesnt care about his situation, he is out of the meta 2 seasons ago, almost in the top lane for MANY reasons. Almost even Yorick can win lane cuz he is a bully champ and has no counter-play with his kit.

He is a good jungler but you describe him like a fighter/tank?; his base armor,health and AS are veery low, he looks like an ap support on the top lane. Basically, he cant win the lane cuz his kit is bad focused. In the theory, his personality is the "tank" with a high sustain power,but for that its always better pick Olaf ,Trundle or even Darius now. They are truly tanks and Aatrox is a joke compared to them. I know you guys buffed him long ago ; the buff on his passive was DESERVED, i mean, look Voliear. But the last buff of his ultimate was...ehm,well not totally useless but a bit, just a bit stupid, no offense. Why would i go to 5 guys into a teamfight and use my ult? To deal only 400 of magic dmg,get more AS (scales with ap on a champ of ad pfff) ,waste my passive, if i have it, and die? Literally no reasons to be on a teamfight. Now lets talk about top, how am i suppose to win the lane or even survive and not be outfarmed by every single champ (im no joking, he is easiest champ to win lane)?

-His E, Blade of torment, for me ofc ,has alot of problem: poor ad scaling,high cd for no reason, low damage and the slow... -His Q is fine buy idk why do i feel like is weak,very weak on some situation, well, many situations. -He depends in all cases of his W; if he cant farm or AA, he is dead literally.

Im not saying he is worsht champ (he might be it , who knows) but he is not a balanced champ as Velkoz, as you said. So Riot CANT tell me he is fine, he needs a lot of changes on his kit or even a rework, as you did with the juggernauts.

I have pacience to wait those changes, because he needs it yes or yes, but i cant wait 3 years or something like that. I know his kit has a lot of potencial , but is very wasted and bad focused. He could be a "Decent champions" as the rest of top laner or tanks. I just wanted to know what do you think about the demon of LoL cuz i love all about him, how it looks , his kit ( can be better you know) everything.

Just with telling me he is going to have changes ( i expect a lot) i would be happiest man so pls. Pls dont be rude :(

Stats doesn't proof he's weak. It only shows that aatrox is more depended on his abilities for his kit to function. He's an caster after all. The main problem is that despite he's an caster he doesn't functions like that anymore:

  • Original build: item 3074 into full tank
    • item 3156 sometimes
  • Current build: item 3153 item 3124

I think he will need a small rework add some point with better goals what he should provide to the team.

Aatrox is kept "average" on purpose.

Back in S4, after Aatrox got nerfed, Riot stated that they don't want to buff him damage-wise / stats-wise because they are afraid of him and his sustain. Heavy-sustain champions have always been Riot's nightmare, this is why they HATE Vladimir and to a lesser extent, Aatrox.

Until Riot decides to rework diving fighters, Aatrox won't be touched.
