    Big thing I took away from this patch is Aatrox is coming back in a big way. Currently he is kind of forced to go Eclipse or other wonky builds. With these changes he should be able to go back to Goredrinker and be a menace.

      As long as his healing will be omnivamp and not flat I think the full damage build with Eclipse will still be better due to his effective hp scaling with damage

        Gore and Eclipse are for different things IMHO

          Aatrox doesn’t scale well enough into lategame to build for teamfights, so he wants to build something to stomp lane with. Dirk into Eclipse does that well, Goredrinker doesn’t have that 1 item powerspike. Eclipse also gives shields every few seconds so it does provide some effective HP, it gives move speed, and the extra damage also translates into effective HP. The only redeeming factor of Gore is its active when you stand in 5 people, but Aatrox is not tanky enough to do that anyways…
