Context & Notes

"Hey guys, there was a portion of the changes that hit PBE but not all of them made it. I'm testing a few changes with the goal of shifting power from early game to mid/late game. The changelist will most likely be an overall power-down, but I'm hoping to get a lot of feels wins out of it in the process. 

The reasoning here is that Aatrox's early game is absolutely monstrous, and really in need of some substantial nerfs, but his falloff is still quite severe, so I wanted to even it out. The intent is that he's still going to be quite strong in the early game even with these changes. 

Here's the full changelist (should get to PBE tomorrow). 

• Base Stats
• Base HP down 610 >>> 580 (revert of micropatch buff)
• Q
• Base damage down by 10 at all ranks (micropatch buff was +5)
• Minion damage down 65-100% >>> 50-100%
• E
• Recharge rate increased early, reduced late, 20-12 >>> 24-8
• R
• Total Attack Damage Increase 20% at all ranks >>> 20/25/30%
• Q slot is frozen on revive (maintains current Q progression)"
