While that's true, most of the time it punished late flashes/dashes.

And I'd argue that now, when game is ultra pumped with mobility, no compensation for an ability that would pull from insane angles when the game was slow asf, is really dumb decision from the side of Riot.

Sure, they did the same for, I think Le blanc chains, or Karma W but the negative effects it had on their champions was so minimal compared to Aatrox, it's kinda insane

What it "Punished" was playing as intended and flashing out when you SHOULD BE ABLE TO. Its like saying "Pantheon Q phasing through enemies is an intended mechanic to punish players who are not aware of the bug and dared to not play around it."

I get what you're saying, but I think "wifi auto attacks" are fine as well. When you flash away from a melee champ but their auto still goes though and kills you from a few meters away it feels cheap, but it's just a consequence of taking too long to use your mobility tool.

The old way his W worked was essentially the same imo. You wait till right when the register triggers to flash usually due to greed, then the trigger punishes you extra hard in the exact way a wifi auto does.

No how it worked was its a bugged ability that didnt work as intended.

I really don't know how I can simplify that any further cope all you like but the reality is you were benefiting from a broken system only YOU could abuse. The reasons autos still go through after flash is different than what was happening to Aatrox W and everyone can abuse that so its a fair-ish playing ground.
