Some QoL buffs for Aatrox

I had some thoughts about Aatrox and I thought about 3 QoL buffs for Aatrox (well, one of them is more of a bugfix) :

  • Allow him to toggle Bloodprice / Bloodthirst even when he is CCed. It is very annoying when in a middle of a fight you have to check your W every 0.5 second to be sure that Bloodprice or Bloodthirst is toggled because of all the CCs that are thrown at thim. I saw that Meddler agreed on this one and I'm happy :D

  • Reduce the CD of Bloodprice / Bloodthirst by 0.1 for every point put in it down to a minimum of 0.1. Yasuo treatment. When you start to have a lot of AS (especially during Massacre), using Bloodprice / Bloodthirst to its full potential is very hard. Since Aatrox is naturally squishy and has to rely on switching between Bloodprice / Bloodthirst to deal damages and tank, it would be nice if the CD on his W was lower at later level.

  • Please Riot, fix the hitbox on his E. I don't know why, but for some reason, when Aatrox uses his E (Blades of Torment) at point-blank range, sometimes, his E will not hit the ennemy. It happens to me on a common basis against minions, but it ALSO happens against champions. It happened to me against Riven and Jax, for example. This "bug" is mentionned in the wiki regarding Aatrox and I can assure you that it does happen against champions too :

Enemies with a very small hitbox (such as minions) can potentially avoid the damage and slow altogether if Aatrox uses the ability in their direction at point-blank range.

It happened to me after landing a Q right on top of Riven. Against Jax, it happened to me after landing a Q on him and after he used his Q (Leap) on me.

Number 3 isn't a bug. His hitbox is just shaped stupidly. It has a hole in it and small units can sit in the hole.

I am not entirely sure why it does it, but at least it looks cool...
