Could Attack Speed slow reduce only Bonus Attack Speed?

AS slow are very frustrating for champs who have low AS or long AA animation and build no AS.

Could we make so every AS slows is ~50-75% stronger, but only reduces Bonus AS, the one that is granted by level-ups, masteries, runes and items? It will still have an impact on champion who build AS (mainly Marksman and melee carries, but they will still keep their attack animation fluid since it can't be below base AS) but it will not have much effect on people with already low AS so their animation will not be a 3 second stare before basic attacking.

So much this, it's riddicoulus that champions who don't build AS are the most affected by AS slows, and having your champion go basically irresponsive for up to 5 seconds feels terrible.

Alternatively, it could affect basic attack timeout - so the DPS change is the same - but not make your animation longer - so you are not virtually rooting yourself for a second with a basic attack

Basic lockut timer doesn't sound good, because you will stare at the enemy champion for some time and then there should an indicator somewhere to tell when you can attack again.
