Aatrox Being Added to the Assassin Rework (WARNING Bleach references)

There seem to be an awful lot of champions that have the playstyle of "run at them and whack them until they die" ( )

And, while a lot of them have really cool ways of doing this, that while counterable, are still fun (cough star-dragon cough), there are some that are truly just running at people until someone dies ( )

So, to give aatrox (the least loved of these four) some love, I would suggest turning him into a sorta Ichigo http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/transcendencefanon/images/e/ed/Ichigo_Kurosaki.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130723133722

I mean, both Ichigo and Aatrox's main buddy in life is their massive sword. Basically, Aatrox gets a Zanpakuto*, which each of his abilities turns into a seperate Shikai, and his ult makes a Bankai. With either of these upgrades, he could gain range, and maybe some special ability, based on his current W. Like, his Q Shikai makes him blink to his chosen target for his third auto; His W Shikai could keep his healing thing, every third auto, of course; and his E Shikai could have massive range, like turn into a whip every third autot damages everyone hit by it, or just have a range of >800. Then, maybe his Bankai, being a god-sword, could drain % health of all enemies in his vicinity, heal for the same amount, and maybe grant him several buffs, like he blinks, and heals at the same time, while keeping his current attack speed.

I know that this would be a super hard rework, and Aatrox would probably be a wee bit op coming out of it, but I think he would also gain huge amounts of popularity with it.

*Since, according to Bleach, all Zanpakutos are unique, rito could give the player an option to choose Aatrox's sword for a selection. If rito had some extra time on their hands.
