No

this champ still gets nonstop picked every tournament

Interestingly enough, this is just coincidence. Aatrox was weak in the months leading to both the 2022 and 2023 worlds but was buffed just in time to become relevant again. The more important question is why Riot seems to think that Aatrox has to be strong whenever Worlds begins.

thematically I want it, but I also want thematically for Zilean to have Seraphine’s passive, Aurelion sol to have his balls back, Aphelios to be able to pick his weapons, and Viego and Belveth’s kits to swap

​

So the answer is no, lmao

There are almost no counters currently to a well played Aatrox. Hell I ever like Aatrox but he is way to strong, last thing he needs is his revive back.

No, revive made him unpunishable in lane. They’d have to nerf a lot of his other stuff to compensate.
