The New Aatrox ult seems a bit unsatisfying on the pbe

Hi im CowandChick and ive loved Aatrox ever since his rework like honestly theres no other champion i play really his thematic as a high impact aoe darkin warlord really gets to me personally i think he has the best voice acting in the game and his backstory is very awesome to me: how he takes a new host cause his old body breaks away slowly.... but thats the problem im having here his ultimate on pbe doesn't really feel that cool to use. Seeing him ult into a giant winged corrupted god warrior is cool and all but the thing that really got my heart pumpin was when he died in his ultimate state and would have that awesome resurrection animation and then say: YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL Me???? it made him feel so cool to play it made me feel like a raid boss from a rpg game and the music really topped it off... but now he just kinda gets health back and some tiny particle effects it looks kinda lame. so hopefully you guys could give him a cool animation in return?

This complaint is mainly aesthetic wise and has nothing really to do with game-play i just want aatrox to look cool lol... cause the resurrection animation was really my favorite part about him and thats really what the champion should be about i think :( please riot i'm not asking for much... like why would guys add a really unique mechanic if your just going to remove it anyway especially if it was a fair mechanic too. I don't want the resurrection back i just want something cool in return to look at when i die in ultimate form. Every champion should feel special to play and it seems your ripping all the uniqueness from Aatrox. And hopefully for anyone reading this can agree that a new animation wouldn't be bad. Have a good day everyone : ) and remember

Aatrox I am not your enemy, I AM THE ENEMY

Ayaytrox design is on the Ryze bar right now, he wont ever be balanced with plain buffs/nerfs, something needs to be changed and his revive is crucial on coordinated play.

Will this change make him balanced? Only maybe, but it's worth the try since normal buff/nerfs wont ever fix his design.

He needs parts of his old kit back if we want to end this balance cycle of shit breaking for him. The R change actually is strong even though he doesn't get a "revive", having a 3 part spell that has cc on 3 parts literally screams towerdive and kill, and the fact each cast resets his E just makes it that he pops r on being ganked, and spams qs and es and gets out. It pratically puts him back in the same spot pre nerf minus the sustain and a net plus on damage.

The change makes the r go from a low budget GA to a low budget DD and Spear fusion. And seeing the thing in action, bless your soul if you cant peel his ass off of you while he's r'ed.

Even .5-1 second of invulnerability and a "revive" animation would help keep the feel. And if its invulnerability he won't drop tower aggro or anything either
