He's seeing some decent play on the LCS. Hopefully they won't touch him, and if they will, I really hope they won't nerf his base damage on E or nerf AP Scaling on R. That'd kill the "easy to abuse hybrid builds" part about him. As of now, his lane presence with E is just ridiculously strong and ult with some AP wrecks teamfights, not to mention that he can make very good use of spellvamp even when he's behind thanks to high base damages of E/R. I've even starded to use spellvamp runes on him soon after I've picked him up (about 3 days after release), on ranked I've got 9 wins/2 losses with him at the moment, that's not a big enough game sample to say that he works wonders with hybrid items though I imagine. The games were played mostly against gold/plat players(solo/duoq), sometimes against silver-diamond because ranked 5's. KDA 6,4/1,5/6

Also, even if you're going AD Aatrox, you've got to try Rageblade. I usually build it as a first item if I stomp, or after some utility/defense items (like, hextech revolver and chain vest if I'm being bullied by AD champ top(they'd later on build into gunblade and GA respectively))
