The main reason Mordekaiser works so well bot lane isn't his inherent damage, but his exp scaling. Gaining extra xp from his ability allows him and his support (taking the xp mastery) to out level and out-gold the bot lane and gain a heavy advantage with targons. Aatrox may match him or outmatch him in damage and aggression (that sick gap close/or escape) but lacks the reason why morde bot got popular. Not to say aatrox wouldn't be a fun bot lane though! I'm just as excited to try out some new things next season with the overhauled item set.
