What if Aatrox's ult turned incoming CC into DoTs

This way he would be able to realise his fantasy of lifestealing sword monster, while giving more counterplay than simply being immune to disable. This would create a pattern where Aatrox and his enemies race in lifesteal and damage rather than just disabling and bursting him.

Every damaging CC would still fully apply its damage.

EDIT: indicative conversion. Note that all of this stuff stacks. Also he's considered as affected by CC for cases like Ashe's crits, and can't break channeled CC by leaving range (ex Malz tether doesnt break and stretches further than max range as Aatrox moves)

Conversion time window: 1/4/7 secs from ult cast

Slows: 1/4 of slow% as flat for the duration ex. 60% slow -> 15 damage/sec for duration of slow NOTE: since he doesn't actually get slowed, affecting him with other slows will stack and not just consider the highest one

AS slows: like slows.

Silences: 40 per sec for duration.

Blinds: Aatrox's autoattacks deal no damage but proc lifesteal and Blood Thirst

Roots: 60 per sec for duration (ouch morg) Stuns: 70 per sec Suppresses: 100 per sec

Knockups: 100 per sec

Knockbacks & grabs: 1 damage per 1 unit of max possible displacement, distributed over 4 secs.

This is actually kind of cool

Personally, I want to see his ult become an AoE buff, to match his lore as an army-shaper, and give him something more to do in teamfights.

Like so:

R-Massacre: Aatrox projects a 667 range buff aura which causes allies within to heal for 25% of the damage they deal. Units dying within the aura increases the Attack Speed of everyone within it for the duration of the ult [12 seconds].

I would have to see the conversion to say if it would be good or not. Seems like a... stable idea that would somewhat help his identity.

I just want to be able to dash without being interrupted by literally any form of CC because it's so slow QwQ

I'm not really feeling it. His kit is the problem. CC is his only real weakness and if you take that away from him you're just making him a problem on the other side of the spectrum.

He needs a rework as well as tryndamere and olaf.

Today played vs Aatrox top as Fiora. He feels squishier than Mini Gnar... his stats are awful.

Massacre:

ACTIVE: Aatrox draws in the blood of his foes, **breaking free of all slows ** and dealing magic damage to all nearby enemy champions and filling his Blood Well by 20% of its maximum value for each enemy hit. Additionally, Aatrox gains bonus attack speed, attack range** _and bonus movement speed for 1 second (like Olaf Ultimate) when moving towards enemies _ ** for 12 seconds.

Aatrox has a hard time sticking to people in teamfights. Anyone else agree or is it just me?
