Riot, It would be nice if you actually read this article about Kayle and Aatrox

Could we get a revert on Aatrox? To before his rework? Like, the new graphics for him are amazing, but I feel like most Aatrox players don't like his new mechanics compared to the old ones. No one plays Aatrox anymore after you repeatedly nerfed him, and even the Aatrox mains aren't happy with him. Don't get me wrong, no one really played the old Aatrox either, but at least the people who DID play him, the Aatrox mains, liked him. If you are thinking in terms of the general population, don't, because most players don't care about Aatrox. If anything, just for the sake of the Aatrox mains, revert him to old Aatrox gameplay, but with the new appearance and the new lines. I feel like that would create the best of both worlds for Aatrox, AND it would bring back his revive in a viable way, the revive that was literally a part of Aatrox's lore. (Don't even make me mention the two Aatrox chromas he has- VIctorious Justicar chroma and Golden blood moon chroma)

Secondarily, as a Kayle player myself, she really needs some love. She got a rework recently, and for most champions, that would usually include a new skin soon, but Kayle hasn't gotten one, and it has made her unfavored and less fun to play. Two of her three best skins, silver and judgement, are only available to people who illegally buy accounts or who quit playing long ago, neither of which is of any use. Forget the part about them being prestigious for people who got them (and quit), they honestly should have been available, at least to Kayle lovers, when she was reworked. Actually, speaking on the topic, 10 years is a long time. Wouldn't that be quite the cause for celebration? I mean, if you had offered all skins ever made to be available for a limited amount of time when the 10 years anniversary was happening, it would have been acceptable, because you, rioters, could have said that the anniversary was a time to celebrate all the years, all the skins, and everything about league of legends. Anyways, in terms of gameplay, this "lategame scaler" is feeling very unsastifying, especially with the nerfs to toplane (whether you admit it or not). Her level 16 has no impact on the game and she doesn't have the strength she used to. It doesn't feel rewarding to either hard farm with her or teamfight. Even if she gets fed early it still feels like she has no impact on the game. So riot, please, if anything, bring back Kayle's true damage. Thank you.

They will not do this, no. Old Aatrox was removed for a variety of reasons, including some unhealthy and difficult to balance mechanics.

Okay, so whats stopping them from making him a balance of spells and autos? Thats mainly the biggest gripe I have with him as a Aatrox main. Darius, Morde, and Garen all have a healthy damage balance of spells and autos (Garen just needs the E shred to scale with rank and he'll be healthy), then heres Aatrox, whos mainly just spell damage.

That's a very different question than the one asked in the OP. I also think it's less a question of "what's stopping them" and more a question of "is it a good direction, and would it actually be a compromise or leave both parties upset?"

It would be a good direction honestly. Pro loves using him because all he lives and breathes is teamfights in pro play. They had to legit kill the champ just to have him not get picked. They are better off trying in that direction than going for a 4th mini rework trying to make the current version work, because it will end with pro play killing him again considering the past 3.

This is an opinion you're welcome to have, yes. I'm not sure whether or not I agree, but I'd prefer to not derail the OP's thread by proposing Aatrox adjustments in a thread not specifically focused on that topic.

Right, and I didnt come here to spout adjustments. Im agreeing on the fact he doesnt need to be reverted, but he does need to be adjusted to be somewhat like his old self if Riot wants to kill the pro play problem they have with him.
