I play him all the time so I can tell you why he's so appreciated.

First of all, he's one of the most powerful early game champions  - at lvl 2 he can burst nearly anyone with his Q and W attacks.

Second, he's extremely safe. As long as you have your passive up you can be extremely agressive and look for plays - a good Q can ensure a kill for your team, he's also perfect for these early towerdives with his combination of passive, two forms of CC and high early game damage.

Basically, Aatrox is arguably the best champion for early game agression, and also UNarguably the safest. And he can also scale late game into a decent life drain tank or melee damage carry.
