It's like the Urgot rework.
People are like "oh shit he's about to get reworked and I don't even know what he does, gotta play him while I have the chance!"
and then ppl are like "bring back old aatrox, the rework is shit" :D
same thing happened with yorick right before his rework.
surprisingly not so with evelyn.
No one wanted pre rework evelyn either. No one wanted pre rework Urgot.
i wantet pre rework urgot ,trundl,morde and karma.

I remeber that. The most bought article in the shop was urgot so I was like wtf?
I tried paying him again since he's on the way out and... I'm reminded of all the reasons they want to rework him. You're either useless or totally unstoppable, no inbetween.
Can't people say good bye to him?
He is gonna be reworked, aka destroyed. So it's normal that people wants to play him nowadays to say good bye friend.
I am a main Aatrox and hate the rework, that means I have to main someone else, it is fine, I can adapt, but I will miss him a lot.
He also has an 100% presence in Eu lcs and 75% presence in Asia.
And a high winrate, pretty good pick rate.
Ripironies
i always liked him. the fact that the rework reminds me of riven is a big no go for me :D
It's because there's finally a meta where just having stupid amounts of self heal in the laning phase lets you win AKA Bottom Lane right now.
Stupid amounts? His heal is pathetic early on and forces him into threat range in order to proc it.
He has to auto a minion 3 times just to get that minor heal. You can take alot of poke in the time it takes to auto 3 times.
Uh excuse me, I’m an Atrox main, and the new rework offends me. I may not have played atrox for a few years, but I have been playing him all this last week and I demand the changes riot changed be changed
From my personal experience, it just seems to be people seeing videos of a rework, expecting it to be live already, picking the reworked champion before checking if it really is live and only realizing once they're in-game: "Wait, this is still the same garbage we always had"
Same thing happened with Yorick. And Sion. And Urgot. And Poppy.
Most of the other reworked champions already saw plenty of activity before their rework that the changes didn't affect their play rate much.
