thee changes seem pretty good, but what do you guys think? will these changes hep bring Aatrox back from a 43% winrate?

I hope so, I really want to be able to play Aatrox again.

-Q animation is still too slow -No talk of buffing his lifesteal -Useless outside of ult -No revive, removing the last possible vestige of Old Aatrox -Can still just walk out of his abilities in base, in ult I MIGHT have to burn flash... oh noooo /s

Revert him or buff him back up a bit Riot. You're being ridiculous, as usual. You have no idea what subtlety in balancing is... it's sad.

He still revives, and he also gets the healing at the end of the duration

So in the damage meta you expect him to survive? He's already easily dealt with in his current ult. The only difference to this new ult is that he can spam Q and E. He will still be easily dodged and evaded, cept now he can die in 3 seconds instead of 6 since you no longer have to sit there while he's inert while reviving....

This doesn't fix any of the heavy handed nerfs he got to his lifesteal and mobility, just moves a tiny fraction to his ult and takes out the revive.

He needs a faster Q animation (notice I said faster not stronger), and a stronger slow on W so people can't just walk out of it. They took away his dash to make him less safe. Well fine, but compensate his kit to be able to all-in like he's supposed to be able to do! Champions like J4 and Vi have a dash. They can also hit their mark and have the damage and tools to back up an all in. Aatrox cannot stick to a target he commits to despite having 3 knock ups, a root/slow, and a dash... that is messed up

This is not included in the video but they are also buffing his lifesteal from E to 40% from 30% and are reducing its cooldown

I actually kinda like this ult... I have to agree this is just going to shoe horn him into an ult bot, and that the Q animation needs to hit faster.

He will need his ult to be effective in teamfights, but that's almost every bruiser in the game
