@Riot Buff Aatrox

I have wrote this many times but I love my champion so much and I am loyal to it that I have made 100 posts before about buffing Aatrox and I will do it 100 more times if needed.

Aatrox needs a buff because it is not fair that he is very unreliable and if he does work then it isnt as strong as the other champions who do his job 10x better and easier. I just played a game where Irelia 0/1/0 who had lower CS than me just jumped on me with a 2 second stun and a 4 second dash that killed me in less than 2 seconds. I had 1300 hp with 45 armor and 50ish mr and we were level 6. I try doing the same thing on her and she still had more than 60% of her hp. This goes with other champions being fairly easy to use while have so much more to offer than aatrox. Riot now most of the top laners at the moment are broken as hell and need to be nerfed OR we can do it the easy way and buff champions like Aatrox to get on their level so its balanced.

Have you tried Rageblade on him? In the few games I've seen an Aatrox, he's won pretty hard with Guinsoo's Rageblade. His dueling potential is quite high, especially when passive is up.

Riot (Meddler specifically), a few weeks before worlds said that Aatroxx is a middle of the pack dive fighter. They were therefore not going to buff him.

This may have changed with the preseason. It is true that his winrate has fallen, but so has the win-rate of other dive fighters (Jax, Irelia and Vi were the three I checked), which suggests that he is still close to the middle of his class. I wouldn't expect any changes for Aatroxx that aren't systematic changes to address dive fighters, and those are unlikely to happen for a while.
