Aatrox isn't even doing well in pro play

Yet Riot are holding off on buffs because of pro play Did anyone else see the Riven 2 items down outdueling a fed Aatrox in the 100 Thieves vs TSM match? Stop making excuses please just make him playable in soloQ, yes he sometimes gets picked in proplay but it isn't finding success which is really what matters. Why is the game balanced around 0.000001% of players?

Fuck aatrox, Riot overloaded his kit and he deserves to be weak as a result.

This game will never be fine as long as they keep balancing for the 0.000001%

"Hes being picked in pro, therefore he's alright and doesn't need buffs" - Everyone who hasn't bothered understanding how his kit works. He's being picked for his mediocre cc and GA, thats it. His damage does not exist unless the person against him happens to play like shit and gets hit by everything.

While I find that Aatrox before nerfs was oppressive as hell at least he would plataue mid game and fall off during the later part of the mid game. Riven however is ok to have an oppressive early-late game play style at lvl 3 with no trade off in her build at all. She has easy access to CDR, AD (her whole kit scales from AD itemization including her shield) has near infinite mobility and no resources to manage. This is ok because "balanced"...[zombie-brand-facepalm]

Hey hey hey, you cant compare Riven to Aatrox, didnt you get the "Skill shot immunity" notification a no mana low cooldown dash champion has that has been brocken for months, especially with Spear of Shojin

Neither is Viktor and they aren't buffing him either.
