Welp, Aatrox passed to be yet another "I was a noble warrior once but was wronged by others into imprisonment, now I am maddened and angry but free and will unleash my madness and anger over everyone"-guy, salute your friends Renekton and Sion too!

Now, by no means I dislike the story, is just more of the same, but worse than calling tropes is that I both like and dislike what they did: Darkins are now Ascended that corrupted themselves by fighting each other after having nothing better to do, and Targon intervened avoid that their conflict ravaged the world... I like that we get an explanation, I dislike that this means that the Darkin have been ret-con'd yet again when they already did with Varus' update (I believe this is their third ret-con), that to justify the changes they also erased Varus' updated lore and that there's no explanation as to how they developed Haemomancy.

Personally comes as a bummer that also means that Targon are a bunch of hypocrites no longer as hinted by the VO, which would've been nice, but rather Aatrox being an angry brute, and likely following the chain of events wouldn't be surprised that Kayle is ret-con'd into an Ascended and Morgana into a now-self-corrupted-Ascended Darkin.
