Yeah, double-edged sword probably describes Aatrox in every aspect. Having a higher health cost doesn't only mean you're going to kill yourself faster, it also means you're going to charge your passive faster. Also, poke abilities rely on their bases more than scaling to deal damage, at least in the top lane. Think about Sion E for example. W does have a very good damage/heal though, both in bases and scalings.

Gnar? I've destroyed every Gnar I have encountered as Aatrox. Usually first blood at level 3. I don't think Lissandra would really be a problem with that sustain either.

That said, I do think Aatrox needs a little more power, and that's what their doing with the PBE buffs.
