That Aatrox rework did alot of things

But reviving with 200 health is still pretty useless 90% of the time.

I've got a great idea for a new Aatrox passive!

Whenever he dies, he gets polymorphed into a sitting duck.

...oh wait

Unless the rework is gutting the health he gets from bloodwell, you should be reviving with almost 750 health come late game (not a TON, but it's certainly non-trivial, especially on someone with extremely powerful built in sustain). If you're getting your passive popped without a full or near full bloodwell, then I have to question what it was you were doing before you got shredded because if you're building properly, that bloodwell should be almost full from just one Q+E combo come late game.

Not that I'm disagreeing by "if you're building properly, that bloodwell should be almost full from just one Q+E combo come late game."

Q fills Blood Well by 20%. As does E. One Q+E combo is literally 40%. I think you may be lost in the sauce.

Current (old) state is that it's based on how much health was spent on the ability, so you get 10% current health from Q and 5% current from E, which is why, with a proper build, one Q+E can fill it to just about full. If you're full 10% current, come late game, is probably about 350 or so (3500 max hp is pretty reasonable for 6-item build). I do recall that the new version will remove health costs, so I suppose Aatrox is going to have a harder time getting that passive up to full now (depending on what controls it being filled exactly). This btw, is one of the reasons building hp on old Aatrox is good: it makes it easy to fill the bloodwell quickly when you need to.

Current state of Aatrox is the rework. It hit with this patch. Been that way for 2 days now (if not more idk)

Wow, looking at the rework on the wiki now....yea...they gutted him compared to what he used to be...sad.

The mid-patch update and the new patch QoL buffs helped a ton though. Definitely viable now. Still unviable as hell in jungle though.

Reviving with full Blood Well is a pretty sweet deal.

Early game it's quite useless but it still allows for what he usually does early game. Dive, tank the majority of the turret hit, proc passive and juggle turret aggro to an ally. If you died even though you proc'd your passive, just letting you know, you were going to die regardless of if you had old Aatrox passive amount or new, especially now it's harder to die since you get so much sustain from your Passive ATK SPD and W. And if you died without proc'ing your passive, you were probably going to die anyways AND/OR proc your passive which probably would've been a waste.
