At the time his rework was decided, Aatrox was redundant and bland compared to Xin Zhao
But today, Aatrox is the only champion that plays the way he does. No other champion fulfills his archetype or resembles his playstyle.
I'm just saying. Aatrox is now the only champion in the game with his specific playstyle - sustain drain tank.
Xin Zhao and Warwick are both divers, where one is more of an assassin and the other is more like a juggernaut. Aatrox is pure drain tank - he doesnt deal Master Yi's absurd damage, he is more of a DPS tank that slowly whittles his opponents down.
The rework should be cancelled.
