We want the drain tank back!

Who else wants aatrox to be buffed and returned to his former glory? He feels really underpowered right now. I have to farm the jungle at half health all game for fast clears, making me vulnerable to invades. Even when i go full tank, i get outdamaged and kited by everyone else. It's as if my items don't even exist.

Why play Aatrox if there's Olaf? Olaf is more reliable.

Aatrox is one of the most boring designs in the entire game.

Well Swain and Vladimir are effective (perhaps too effective) drain tanks. So it is possible but I am not sure how that translates to AD champions.

I think Aatrox is just going to need a rework, perhaps they can look to make him more like the AD version of swain and vlad.

Example idea: remove the revive passive its meh and too similar to other champions. instead switch to a simple rage bar, that gives him more healing with more rage. If he can stick to a target he just wont die, allowing him to cash in health for more damage. This would deliberately not fix the problem of getting kited and dying because that would be his counter, he'd just be more effective when that doesn't happen.
