His Q range is actually pretty short and it also cost him 10% of his life (at full hp) just to get in. If you play him as a tank your idea might work even though you will never hit 5 enemies if you play against ppl who know what they are doing. If you play as ad assassin you dont want to jump in there because you are dead in about 1 sec and the passiv wont save you. The dmg of the ult is also not that great and it doesn scale with ad.

His ult is overall mediore but on a short cd aswell. My problem is more the high healt costs on Q and E. Bloodthirst is his only inbuild sustain and its kinda crappy if you try to auto the enemy will punish you if you only last hit you get maybe 50 health back per wave.

His poke is weak and if you miss it you lost 5% current health for nothing.

In his current state any decent player should just bully him around in the lane. He might be viable in the jungle though.

For Example Jax can do everything Aatrox can except from that additional range.But he has no health cost and lower cds, has hard aoe cc and is even tankier than aatrox if we take his passiv into account (at lvl 6). And still Jax is far from being op so in what spot is aatrox then?
