Aatrox attack speed modifier on Q

Imagine

Aatrox Q - The Darkin Blade ACTIVE: Aatrox swings his greatsword in the target direction, striking enemies in a line. The Darkin Blade can then be reactivated twice within 4 seconds, with each cast refreshing the timer. The second cast strikes enemies in a cone and the third in the target area. There's a 1 second cooldown between each cast.

The Darkin Blade 2 Each strike deals physical damage, with Minion icon minions taking 50% − 0% (based on level) reduced damage. All units take 25% increased damage on the second cast and 50% on the third.

FIRST SWING DAMAGE:» 10 / 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 (+ 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80% AD) The Darkin Blade 3 Hitting enemies at the far end of the first two casts and the center of the third deals 50% bonus damage and Airborne icon knocks up enemies for 0.25 seconds, doubled to 0.5 seconds against Monster icon monsters.

(NEW)

SWING SPEED The speed at which Aatrox swings his sword per scales with his attack speed.


Now for the main reasons this would NOT be game breaking; Aatrox already has pretty low attack speed, because he's an AD caster now. Any attack speed he takes currently are stats lost in his flat damage and lifestealing.

So why would we even add an attack speed modifier to his Q then?

Come on a journey with me!

-Aatrox used to be an auto attacking stat check. This would first and foremost get him a bit more back to the initial flavor that his first mains loved to much.

-An attack speed modifier on his Q would encourage a different build on him, making him lean more towards auto attacks and life steal rather than the straight casting > passive > casting > passive thing he does now with item 3812.

The faster Q animation as the game goes on would feel SO much better than the slow, clunky, hardly responsive crap it is now.

No.

And lacking any counterplay, like when he had his 2 Es.
