Played a few more games of ranked with Aatrox after the hotfix...its really bad.

I gotta say, its still pretty bad. If you ever get CC unexpectedly, you die. No revive, and as I stated before, Aatrox has no real defensive stats. No built in resistances, shields, blocks or parries. He is nearly the only champion lacking these things that isnt a damage monster like Darius.

So to say build tank...yet he is still an auto attack fighter, he still NEEDS attack speed for his heals to matter, or to proc his bonus damage. He has no other built in armor pen or crits or true damage or % damage.

What bothers me the most is the audacity of Riot, giving the opinions about him when they clearly know nothing about him. They didn't listen to the community and the arrogantly pushed through a terrible change....and then the hotfix, the further ignored the feed back. His stats are not the issue. The issue is that the way his passive works SUCKS.

They made him easier to kill. I mean, seriously, you think building tanky on him matters as he sits there doing little damage with his slow auto attacks, his other 2 abilities on CD, taking true damage and %health damage, magic and physical damage, from all sorts of champions. He doesn't do his damage based on abilities like Renekton or Nasus. He doesn't do true damage with an ability like Olaf. He needs to get off auto attacks. Him building tanky just makes him a shitty tank compared to any other fighter or juggernaut or diver that can build a better tank, while doing less damage than them.

So please stop trying to tell me there is a reward for building tank. There isn't. Just because he is no longer punished with % health costs doesn't equate to a reward or incentive to build tank.

These changes are so bad, so poorly thought out....Riot really owes their customers, that is, you and me, the players that provide them a job, a frickin apology. And someone at Riot should be fired. They have at least one person there that has no business being there. The lack of analysis and thought process speaks volumes. The fact that Meddler said they were surprised that his win rate plummeted speaks to their lack competence an how detached from reality they are when it comes to Aatrox. And the worst part, that still galls me, is the fact that despite years of feedback from Aatrox mains, they basically did the rework off of THEIR idea of what his issues were (false ideas) and totally ignored the real issues, totally ignoring the customers. It was basically a big F U to us.
