Aatrox's tether didn't change, the rioter who made the change actually used the method that was already in the code for Aatrox's tether to fix all the other tethers.

I used the same underlying piece of tech but not the same code. Aatrox's W uses a specialized setup to account for the abnormal shape (and also attaching the tether to a point rather than a unit), whereas every other tether is effectively a circle attached to a champion, so I wrote a new script for the other tethers that's a lot simpler since it can assume a lot of things (e.g. it's always two units being attached and the area is a circle).

if you’re gonna buff aatrox cause of tethers, where are the karma and leblanc compensation buffs. they’re clearly the ones who will get impacted the most, not aatrox.

This is completely unrelated to tethers, and is attached to another bugfix in this patch.
