Riot: We're reworking Aatrox because he's a statcheck and statchecks are bad.

Nevermind his 2 skillshots and clear moments of weaknesses. He's a statcheck and unhealthy because we say so and we already spent so much time working on Riven 2 with angry voice.

Also Riot: Also Riot: Also Riot: Also Riot:

Good not toxic non statcheck gameplay according to Riot. The epitome of perfect champion design only possible after learning from mistakes like Aatrox:

Riot has really honed down their skills and narrowed down their craft in game design over the past 10 years.

Not that I'm raising my arms in support of the new Aatrox but old Aatrox was a problem precisely because he was an AD Vlad (and that's figurative, given Aatrox wasn't at least constrained by CD like Vlad sort of is given his draining is AA based and he also doesn't have a traditional mana cost as gating too) with a Zilean ulti as passive. He had a lot going for him, in general he was either too strong he runs you down or he's so useless he more or less had to be carried.

It was clear old Aatrox needed a rework. Though I am not so sure this rework as it is is the one he needed.

They could've just moved his passive into ulti and rework his W and all would probably be well. But I guess that's not what happened.
