Final 9.9 Aatrox list (see image). Reverted the 'Time between Q casts' change based on feedback and made its CD based on the last cast of Q rather than last cast of Q1. Then did some final tuning around these changes.
We'll follow up quickly during 9.9 if/as needed.
Quick heads up, we'll be pulling Transcendence and Taste of Blood from the list of minor runes buffs this patch.

Group A:
@FBespor Phong Vũ Buffalo @teamisurus @bo…
It was my light that did this.
More details coming tomorrow @ 8 AM PT tomorrow
@GodDerpes_Leona Removal.
@HashimMurtada Removing the E will affect him, but it's also easy to understate how far a Q damage buff can go. 20 damage at rank 5 if you hit all sweetspots is an increase of something like ~112 damage.
@HiyokeM Yes. The passive healing currently works when used on minions as well.
@atrumbleAptkill 9/8/7/6/5
@heirjodans The Q CD change is to nerf zoning pressure from holding Q, and it's intention is that it's slightly favorable in the case where you spam them out, as is more frequently done later in the game.
@Razzylol The passive's cooldown reduction mechanic now applies against large monsters, so it comes out about even or even ahead for jungle.
@iCr1sS It's actually probably a buff. The cooldown mechanic now triggers on monsters as well, which wasn't true last iteration. So he gets a LOT more of them during his clear.
See image for overview of the 9.9 patch following the last round of additions.
Stuff added today: Champ Buffs - Darius, Ekko, Lissandra, Maokai, Shen, Sylas, Volibear Champ Nerfs - Akali, Hecarim, J4, Morg (support), Rek'Sai Champ Adjustments - Kindred Item Buffs - Manamune
@LimitlessChaos That's what I thought too. The original number I tried was 4 at max rank, but got some playtests from the playtest team and they suggested we bump it up to 6, which ended up feeling more in line.
Aatrox current list (see image) updated for 4/23 PBE push. General stuff going on:
Testing showed him to be a bit overtuned. Nerfed some stuff. New healing amp on R seems cool but needed tuning. Switching Q CD paradigm to start CD after sequence (Q CD reduced as well)
@Kagebuunshin 🆒
Galaxy Slayer Zed
@Sandalw00dGrips: This week Viktor sics CASS-10 on Olaf and Tryndamere, and it looks like she's got a case of the Mondays. Read the full…
@AdamVinkovic There will be some tuning adjustments for Aatrox still this PBE cycle. Shipping in 9.9 feels pretty tight, but that's still what we're aiming for. Tuesday's PBE will have some tuning most likely.
@Spideraxe30 It seems manageable for pro but less so for solo queue, as these strats tend to go. I don't think the team feels like we need to act on it yet, but I'm sure it will come up today.
