You know I feel that Aatrox doesn't really need a buff per-se, just to be patched up to the point of being on par with other top laners (more base HP, less stupid kit, etc), which sounds like, guess what, a rework. His lore always made him sound like a really aggressive support almost, something like a Nautilus or Nunu, who just sort of walk up to you, are a general nuissance, and get their ADC kills, and then late game scale up into a monster who saunters into the enemy team and rips up THEIR adc. His ult, for one, would make more sense as a team-buff like Sivir's, his Q is fine, his W makes him a viable toplane pick even as a support, and his E seems like it could almost be his Q, and otherwise be totally remade. His passive sucks though. It doesn't make much sense with the character (It stores his health instead of damage dealt), and doesn't seem as fleshed out as recent characters/reworks have been. And that's the core of his trouble, he's not very relevant. There ARE no matchups you'll see where you think "Wow I should counter them with Aatrox!" because as long as the enemy knows not to sit there and let you farm without abusing your lower (proportionally) health, or asking for a gank, you won't go anywhere fast enough to be very useful for your team. Just my thoughts on him though, I REALLY want to love him, but it's so difficult with there being much more relevant and viable top laners.
