Aatrox Rework Concept

This is my concept for an Aatrox rework.

Passive: Blood Dance On hit Aatrox applies a stack of Blood Dance caping at 5 stacks for each stack Aatrox deals 1% increased damage to that champion and receives 1% reduced damage from that champion. When a champion dies with 5 stacks of his passive Aatrox goes into a Darkin state and applies 5 stacks of his passive to champions he autos for the next 4 seconds. Targets not damaged by Aatrox for 2 seconds lose stacks at a rate of 1 per .75 seconds.

Q: Dark Dance Aatrox dashes in a target direction and slashes in a cone in front of him, for a few seconds after first cast can be cast again. Applies on-hit effects.

W: Blood Thirst Aatrox heals himself on-hit. While Aatrox is below 50% maximum health, heal is doubled. Life steal items are half as effective on Aatrox.

E: Same but slow starts at 20% leveling up to 80%

R: Spoils of War Aatrox ult cannot be leveled all of his abilities gain and extra level. When a champion dies with Aatrox's passive on them, Aatrox gain 1AD and 1 in combat movement speed for the first stack for each stack after the first he gains .5AD and .5 in combat movement speed(this counts each stack of his passive on a champion so he can gain a max of 5 stacks from a kill). In combat movement speed falls off after leaving combat for 3 seconds. Every 50 stacks of Spoils of War grant Aatrox an extra dash on his Dark Dance.

I think this kit goes better with his lore that the longer he's in combat the stronger he gets, and that he feeds off of the energy of war. This is just a rough concept but if people like i can go into more detail on like the damage numbers and what not.

So your vision of him is that he dashes in, auto attacks over and over again dealing more damage to the enemy while they deal less damage to you while also regenerating a ton of health every few autos, so a duel you're pretty much guaranteed to win, and then slow them to keep them from getting away.

You've solved none of the problems Aatrox has, this kit would have to be nerfed just like Aatrox's current one.

Nerf his current kit? Literally in his entire history only his E has been nerfed and that was back in season 3. He has had no other changes other than buffs in all his time as a champ and still no one plays him. What i want is an Aatrox that can move through a fight and not just get stuck on the front line, cause his current q is almost anti mobility because it is easily interrupt-able and we see how well his current heal keeps him alive(not). His ult is a steroid that is only good in early game and late game literally does no damage. His passive is only good if he doesn't die and if you do get your second life you likely die anyway because you lose all your attack speed so you can't proc your healing W.

I know that this kit is over-powered literally every champ that gets a re-work comes out over-powered, that's the point, it's to get them back on the field of battle and actually get some play. Literally I went a full year with out seeing an Aatrox in game and that is just stupid in my book, like there is being out of the meta and then there is just not being a champion like he's been almost since release.
