Very Dissapointed With (New)Aatrox

I've never really played Aatrox, except maybe one or two games -- but I've also never liked seeing him in game. He's always felt like one of the ugliest characters in League, to me.

His entire character model felt like a mash up of everything the Design Team at Riot could think of as "Cool." Massive wings that he never uses, and stay stagnant even when he uses his Q or Ult(Old). Massive, protruding "horns" that come off what seems like a helmet on his head, that's also just way too big. Yet he's slender and seemingly fragile when it comes to his body.

With his upcoming VGU, I had really hoped that Aatrox would see some kind of redesign. Make him feel more like a God of War than a winged abomination that looks like he should be a grunt of some sort.

the team had actually planned him as a gameplay update only but then announced they had changed his model somewhat too, hence why he looks similar to his current model

Even these minor changes, in my opinion, have greatly improved Aatrox’s appearance. I was never much of a fan of the old design, either. New Aatrox looks far better than what we had.
