At the PBE the CD on his 'E' were way lower (3sec CD at max Rank) and i really enjoyed the new Aatrox more than before. He just felt less clunky and you could reliable hit your Q even on mobile champs. Early game still had been stressful since he lost his sustain and you needed some CDR to get the Q - E combos going. With 45% CDR in late game he stayed relevant and was fun to play.

Those 2 CD seconds really hurt him a lot since his laning overall is weaker and you need at least 4 ranks in your 'E' and a lof of CDR to get your Combos going. So basically he just becomes relevant in the late-mid game where most games already had been decided or other champs already outscale him.
