What about Aatrox? 6.10

So with Devourer officially out of the game, its no secret that Auto Attack reliant junglers have suffered. You even acknowledge this with Master Yi in the patch notes

"Yi feeling pretty confused about how he should be building in a post-midseason world. With Sated's magic proc gone (and Bloodrazor's damage being entirely physical), armor’s better protection against Master Yi than it’s ever been"

Okay I get that, but what about AATROX!? He has to be one of the champions who has suffered the hardest from patch 6.9. I among many others Ive seen in the boards, feel he really needs some love. He has to be one of the most auto attack reliant champions in the whole game! And if you look at his win rate from before and after patch 6.9 you will see what I am talking about. Maybe tune his W? Maybe make his Q so he can't be snared while he's using it or as he starts casting it.. even Tristana can move when she's being snared as she's jumping away.. why can't Aatrox be the same?

OR more of a less drastic change... what about adding some AP to his auto's like you have done with Nocturne and Shyvana for patch 6.10.

I among many others feel he needs SOMETHING to be used more in ranked gameplay. I had a 60% win rate before patch 6.9 and it's gone down to 57% and I'm honestly afraid to play him anymore because of how useless he feels now. All you gotta do is build armor, as mentioned with yi.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Agreed as an Aatrox main. Guinsoos got changed and he isn't benefitting, his kit and effects definitely need to be tuned. HIs Q is what bothers me the most and why it doesn't act like other leaps like Tris and Kha makes me infuriated :( Maybe make the knockup bigger, or his Q faster, or like Rek'Sais with multiple hitboxes? Maybe Riot just doesn't like him man

Agree with everything you said 100%.. How is Q is programmed really frustrates me the most as well.

I feel you. Aatrox really need to be buff right now. I feel his kit does not fit in current patches (actually any patches since Season 5), he does not have much impact to opponents comparing to other top/jungling champions. He really needs some love.

Thanks man. I really hope something is done because he really is a fun champ to play

Medler and the riot balance team are ridiculous I legit have stopped playing the game because they choose to ignore aatrox patch after patch

I was the 7th best aatrox player in the world finishing diamond 4 only playing aatrox last season
