Hi! Im just curious to ask if any kit change or rework for Aatrox is planned for the 2016. Since this Morello's post (http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=4292299&page=1#post45244229) a lot of time passed, and Aatrox have only recived some small buff, but no kit changes. I'm sure a lot of people love this darkin and im just curious if you can please give us some news about him. Thank you!
Vicarious1173 votesYeah I've been waiting for a long ass time as well.
The problem is that he abused the devourer+double shield item builds very well, like sated + rageblade + steraks + malmortius, that cancerous build. He was actually sleeper OP for a while with it, to be honest, so they probably just decided "oh well he's doing fine now so we can put his much needed rework/touch-up on the back burner!"
But now that those items have all been changed and nerfed, his winrate and playrate have both drastically dropped quite a bit and have not gone up that much since the bloodrazor buffs, so hopefully they realize their fuck up and get back to fixing Aatrox.
I made a full post on a ridiculous rework idea, but I don't think I got any replies, I don't even think it got double digit views to begin with... so people don't really care at all about him it seems :/
EDIT: Yup! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/QRK6bZG3-intense-aatrox-rework-idea Only like 30 views or so, no one seems to give a fuck, so I doubt they'll put much effort into helping him out.......
Boulderox2 votesPoppy just got her rework after ages... Taric is next, then we can talk... :)
RevertAatroxPlz1 votesCan we talk now?
Boulderox1 votesYea, and sadly of all champs, ryze is next, AGAIN, then yorick, which is in dire need more I feel, then ww I think. I agree he needs looking at, he has a lot of weak points and the only strong points end up being almost useless late game

In my opinion they need to fix his Q animation so it's less clunky and give his E a damage scaling boost because it feels useless all game until it's maxed, when there is way more incentive to max W>Q>E.
Boulderox1 votesYea... the idea of the Q is great, but horrible because 10% of your hp and it can be countered is dumb by design.
Very Hard Engage2 votesi dont think he needs a rework, he has great stick and brawling potential already, maybe an increase in Q speed or perhaps a shorter CD on his passive. otherwise hes halfways decent already.
the real reason hes not picked, is because other champions are preferred, not because hes bad. others are just more useful or have a better aim/objective of what they want to accomplish.

He cant accomplish the assassination task, neither have the stats or the kit to be a decent bruiser. The only case where he can work well is in jungle witha closed sated devourer, and that's snowball reliant too. i'm not say he is a shitty champ (in fact i like him), but he isnt in the best spot for what he offer, and as riot stated he needs a rework or a fine tune.
Very Hard Engage1 voteshe doesnt need to 100-0, he needs to 1v1. i cant help you if you dive 1v5 and expect to pop their back liner like a rengar or a khazix. thats just not what he does.

League isnt about only dueling, he can splitpush and neither is the best at that. He has a kit halfway from a dueler and a bruiser, the ult even incentivize the use in a crowded scenario. He needs some love.
Little Stick Man1 voteshes not even on the radar right now lol but theres always hope

Maybe they will do a small touch to the kit, thats why im asking it, maybe thats already on the radar
Vicarious1171 votesMy hope is that he'll be on the list of divers for the mass diver update!
Riot has stated that they are either doing assassins or divers next, for a big update like the mages and adcs, and when they decide to do the diver one (either next or right after assassins, either way really) Aatrox will likely be on that list.
Or I at least hope he is.... he's one of the divers most in need of help so it would only make sense....
Apparently they plan on doing Rengar for either of the updates as well, to once again try and bring him back as a bruiser/diver/fighter like he was originally designed to be and not an assassin, which would make more sense in a large diver update so here's to hoping that one's next and Aatrox is on the list!
Helmino1 votesAny Riot response? Please :)
Noir Frost1 votesPersonally if you master a champ and the kit there is no way it can be useless. Attrox seems like a crazy champ to play and he is next on my list, but I can agree that he needs a bit of a buff in some way. This champ needs to get on the radar.
ZombeezyJeezy1 votesHis damage-toggle W does too much damage to himself early on, yet it's one of the only ways to charge his bloodwell without burning his CC and slow which are on fairly high CD's early.
HiImlevel11 votesMy boy only needs buffs not a whole rework like c'mon.

Abyss of Exiles1 votesAssassin update confirmed. Can we have an Aatrox rework now or will we have to wait for ANOTHER marksman update? 
EDIT: Pls read this rito.
Willsu1 votesEither rework or straight up delete him
