not gonna happen anyway Riot's ego is too large to admit they made a terrible mistake here

just like with Galio, didn't keep the old: voice abilities or look ALL of which were better by far including the look which made him look colorful and unique rather than just a giant bland white piece of rock

as for Aatrox they changed his Q so you have more stuns for some reason, even though his kit was basic attacks his stun hitboxes are so horrible you have to keep moving around to land them which is nigh impossible when you're trying to focus on 10 different players at once and his abilities come late game deal less damage than his actual attacks meaning you could just attack instead, in which case he also sucks because BEFORE he could lifesteal or deal damage with every 3rd attack meaning you could actually choose whether you want sustain or damage now it's just, "heres the ability for damage and you get lifesteal with it too" you SOMEHOW made him less complex and interactive than before his ult gives him the wings he should have already had because he had them originally but now you're just stuck with a half naked aatrox with one less thing that made him look interesting at all until you use your ult

and back to his Q, it's wretched now Aatrox doesnt need 3 stuns his original kit had 1 stun and a slow, thats all he needed with his stun you could immediately dive out of danger or dive the carry, or dive onto yourself to protect yourself and stun an enemy in a skirmish NOW you get a TINY PATHETIC SQUARE

and as for his ult he doesnt deal a burst of damage or gain attack speed, making him even weaker early, and making his passive just some auto bonus why does he have an auto bonus? oh yeah that was also part of his ability which gave him damage lifesteal and auto bonus now its separated into 2 abilities and a passive

everything in Aatrox's kit was replaced with "fancy skillshots and more skin sells"

Agreed entirely, the new loadout is completely losing the idenity of aatrox besides the massive blade which is all Riot seems to care about, whatever tho, they got their rp sales from the Aatrox skins they don't care

Agreed. Riot, you're absolutely clueless about your game. Stop touching champions like this and doing exactly what everyone said you were going to do. i.e. ruin the champ, making it worse in every way, lmao.

Riot has turned league into a money machine for the clueless morons who will accept anything

People actually think league is a sport.....

its just despicable

I have no doubt every single champion will be reworked multiple times

The problem was the art team behind the original Aatrox wasn't entirely synced up with the lore team. So he ended up being something that does not mesh well with where Darkin ended up.

Riot did make a terrible mistake, and they admitted it, but the mistake was releasing the original Aatrox.

Original Aatrox had quite possible the worst gameplay out of any champion in the history of LoL. His only gameplay decision was to attack, either kill them before they can kill you or attack enough to sustain any damage they can do to you. And if you can't kill them or their damage can outmatch your sustain, then you just lose, and no amount of skill will change that.
