Ask Riot: TFT Ranked Rewards

so within the link about teemo's rework, riot states "we weren’t comfortable shipping something unless the majority of his playbase was on board." within the second Q and A, yet they manage to go ahead and not have a problem reworking aatrox regardless of the fact that so many players did not want Aatrox to get reworked (including me, a player that always loved going up against old aatrox) and ESPECIALLY one of the challenger players that begged riot to not rework aatrox in a full letter in english (MIND YOU THIS GUY DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH) and riot reworks him anyway. Truth be told this is so one sided and i feel a little betrayed for witnessing this happen. what are your thoughts guys?

The Boards (and even Reddit) do not represent the entire playerbase.

For pretty much the entirety of old-Aatrox's existence he was horrible. Incredibly item reliant, unfun/impossible to play against (AA drain tank), and rarely rose above a 5% playrate.

New Aatrox? Still somewhat reliant on items but not as much as the old one. His abilities have more counterplay now. His playrate has tripled while maintaining a healthy winrate across most ELOs.

As someone who's been playing since before Aatrox was released and has seen every stage of his development: Old Aatrox should not be brought back.

I like Teemo the way he is, all he needs is his Shrooms back to 10 min.
