Erhm, somehow I've never seen an Aatrox making an impact big enough to matter.
Thing is, every time I see an Aatrox in my team, I auto-dodge. No matter if he's an Aatrox one trick pony with 99% winratio.
But the most important thing is to play champions you like. I know one kid who got to challenger with Karthus adc. Another one did it with Teemo jungle.
It's not about is it viable enough, it's do you enjoy playing it enough to commit time and energy into learning the champion.
I think I get it, so it's kind of like competitive SSBM - it doesn't matter who it is, if you spend time learning that character and practice long enough you'll be at the top of ranking lists. It's just that some characters are more "able" than others, right?
This doesn't really apply to competitive play, where meta is really strict.
But in the soloq ladder, yes, it is very possible to play any character on any level. You'll learn matchups and how to play against them, and other situational stuff which will let you play against mostly any champion.
Find something you enjoy. Become an expert in it. And find ways to provide value to others with your skill. And you'll never have to worry about money.
