Aatrox is just so weak...

I mean... you guys designed him to be a life steal tank but he ends up falling so misserably short of that on so many levels.

He lacks the damage of any other AA based melee champs

He lacks the mobility ( please dont even bring his Q up, since its almost 100% of the time interrupted ) of all other AA based melees

His poke is laughable at best

His base stats are too low to be a durable scrapper

His ult is a terrible AA steroid as it provides nothing but a laughable initial burst, and an attack speed boost that rarely matters because in the 1 second it takes to finish the animation of his ult, hes already gotten his HP chunked.

I dont understand how riots vision of aatrox has changed so much... why is he not up for a full rework?

I can agree with most of your list but aatrox has one of the best ultimates in a game on one of the shittest champions.

Extra range, as, and magic damage on demand is extremely good. it's just that the rest of his kit doesn't synergies with it.

His poke is what you max first, and it's weaker than olafs q. I think all he needs is better stuff for leveling w to make it viable to max first, and his kit synergizes with it.

A little nudge here and there and he can be a monster. Riot's probably keeping him weak until rework

He is, he's part of the divers class update, which is not firm enough to be scheduled relative to others, but is certainly the next class update.

At least, IIRC
