Sated Devourer And Sustain Champions

Sated Devourer turns already decent sustain champions (Aatrox , XinZhao , and the odd Irelia and Udyr) into monstrosities that become near impossible to kill. This isnt an issue with the champions themselves per se, but it is extremely difficult to counter, with there being only 2 universal ways to get Greivous Wounds (summoner 14 and item 3165) and one of these ways are locked to AP champions. Sated Devourer should not provide champions like Aatrox and XinZhao, who are required to get multiple auto's off to sustain, to basically get a free pass to this immortality.

In my opinion Sated Devourer's Phantom Hit should only reapply the on-hit damage from the item itself on top of the user's total AD, instead of all on-hit effects. This would prevent abuses damage-wise (Vi , Vayne and the rare attack speed Ekko) and sustain-wise (Aatrox and XinZhao), while still providing the user the extra damage that the item was made for.

*Note: I am not the best Aatrox player

So did we go from League of Cinderhulk to League of Attack Speed?

I don't even know why Riot hates Grievous Wounds nowadays.

Are you kidding me? Aatrox is finally playable in the jungle, for having much lower and weaker stats than Rek Sai or Gragas. Its also not like you cant kill Aatrox after Devourer is finished. Aatroxs stats are super weak, his teamfighting is also not the best. Aatrox should get buffs on his kit to help him in Top Lane and doing better in teamfights. Leave Aatrox alone he is finally a champion who does something after 25 mintes, i think devourer has counterplay, it has clear strenghts and weaknesses.
