Well, Aatrox is one of those champions with crazy sustain that Riot created with intention to ruin your life. The other champions in this category are Darius, Trundle, Olaf, and so on. However, he has many drawbacks that make him unpopular among the Juggernauts, and unpopular in general:

1) He’s squishy. This is kinda strange for Fighters

2) His E+Q combo costs a lot of health. The tankier you get, the more health it will cost to perform the combo, which is absurd.

3) His early game is weak. Aatrox is a farming champion, which means he needs to get a few item before he can be any useful in team fights.

4) Whenever Aatrox revives from his Blood Well, all of his mobility spells (namely his Q and Flash) will be put on a 3-second cooldown. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but it was pretty unfair for him.

5) He has no real means to chase down his target. If you miss his E+Q combo, you’ve just thrown away a free kill.

Aatrox is a bit like Vladimir. You can get him to low health, but you cannot kill him, especially with his passive. He’s useless early game, but gets stronger as the game progresses. He shines in 1v1 fights, but becomes overshadowed in combat. Overall, he’s not a bad champion, but there are better picks that you can choose from aside Aatrox.
