Aatrox?

Hello friends ! It's Image with another rant that will probably get down voted because of a hive mind based forums. This isn't a typical complaint about a champion, It's the real deal. Today I have played against a champion that has long been forgotten [After the Rework] I say this because he just isn't what he used to be. I as a person who has played league for many years now feel sad on how he turned out to be. His rework was just as terrible as the second Ryze rework, but on the opposite side of the spectrum. I am creating this complaint because when I played against him he wasn't even strong. His ratios aren't up to par with most of the top lane champions. He cannot handle skirmishes in top lane. His Game-play has been reduced to famine. Aatrox either has to Sit back and farm (if possible) or get Zoned out. I understand he can just sit back and relax and heal if threatened, but where is the diversity of play in that. His Q is lackluster since it does not knock up when they are within the slightly medium to outer range of his Q, His Attack speed falls off faster, His damage for his W is not as reliable as it used to be, and that He does not have a given revive like Zac anymore, he has to work for it hard. Checking over his player builds and statistics, he simply is not played anymore. It was hoped for that the rework would encourage more play with this champion, but that was a complete failure. His grave has been dug.

I'm half tired and disappointed so when I wake up I'm probably going to regret posting this.[zombie-nunu-bummed]

I love Aatrox's theme and he's OK top lane. He's has good sustain, but his dueling power is just horrible. There's no reason to pick him over Jax/Fiora/Tryndamere. Honestly, I don't think Aatrox even needs a full ability rework to be good. He just needs some ability tweaks and he'll be fine. Don't know why Riot is so rework happy about him...

i used to main him til they "fixed him" so much for fixing he has to basically build full tank to actually heal now.

Aatrox is good right now, and the fact that Koreans don't realize it is irrelevant. He's still way stronger than he was before his rework.

As someone who really likes Aatrox, I'm glad they've addressed the issue at least and are no longer leaving him in limbo. He is on the official list (now) for a large scale rework behind Urgot and Evelynn. Thankfully, come Wednesday we have a Darkin champ that seems will have some legitimate play ability in the jungle with Kayn.

He is most of the time a slave to his passive.

riot has listed him as the 3rd champ to be reworked. right after eve/urgot.

he is not getting a full VGU as his visuals look pretty solid actually, and his thematic is nice. but he is getting a full gameplay update. my guess is they will do everything the same as a full VGU just not the visual update.

So much BS... Aatrox is more than decent since his last rework. U were just against a bad Aatrox...

Edit : he wasn't even bad... he was just against a counter pick.
