Attrox Revamp Ideas?

So I know you guys are probably familiar about a R.I.P champ known as Aatrox . I have not seen this champion in the longest time, but why? The champion is called The Darkin Blade, but doesnt really play like one. I got a few ideas of what abilities can be changed to make him not only unique but also more popular. So lets dive right in!

Current Passive (Blood Well): Aatrox fills his blood well passive (the red bar below his health) through his abilities and is then able to revive or be given a 2nd chance just like Anivia and Zac passive. Except that this passive requires more effort to proc than the other two. Here's a change I would like to see in game.

Usage of acronyms: CD(cool down), CDR(cool down reduction), DoT (damage over time), AS (attack speed)

New Passive: Thirst Of Blood Get a 3 second buff while dealing damage to champions which healing for every ability/basic attack damage he has dealt. This buff cannot be refreshed every time you hit but has a 10-5 second cool down based on level respectfully.

Scars of Dusk Champion basic attacks/skills cause a bleed effect which slows movement speed and does DoT, does not stack up to 5 like Darius and deal bonus ad but, stacks up to 3 and causes champions to take additional damage from all sources by a small %(approx. 1-3% based on level) of their maximum hp. Stacks can be refreshed if champions are being hit by Aatrox.

IMPORTANT: ALL SKILLS/ABILITIES ARE SCALING WITH AD ONLY, ABILITIES ARE EFFECTED BY CDR AND ALL ABILITIES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF R AND PASSIVE HAVE BLOOD PRICE MEANING THEY COST HEALTH TO CAST.

**Current Q (Dark Flight): Aatrox launches into the air and lands on a specific location knocking up all champions and units for 1 second. This is a decent ability because it allows the champion to engage and disengage, I would keep this ability but tweek is slightly with its Cool downs. For example, when damaging an enemy champion, when q CD is up, every basic attack lowers the CD on q by .5 seconds? similar to MasterYi s Q **

Current W (Blood price/ Blood Thirst): I think this ability suits the champions but since we moved the effect to a passive lets talk about a newer W mechanic/skill.

**New W (Blood Fiction): Aatrox thrusts his sword on the ground to do damage based off of bonus ad. This ability will work similar to Diana 's E where she projects a circle and pulls in. Except Aatrox will not pull in but instead just deal the damage, The effect would similar to Vladimir's ult but in a more darker colour. Passive of this ability:

  1. If we're going with the Scars of Dusk: if the champion is at 2 or more stacks Aatrox deals additional true damage based off 2% of Maximum Hp.
  2. If we're going with Thirst of Blood: All excess healing is converted into a shield that protects Aatrox from all damage. similar to Diana's W. (not to be confused with spell shield)**

CD for this ability will be 14/13/12/11/10 scaling with CDR

**Current E: Aatrox sends forth a wave of energy that deals damage to enemy champions and slowing them for 2 seconds. This ability sounds good but somewhat fails to perform. Has a fairly large Cd and has a very narrow hit box. Maybe make the ability similar to Kassadin E with a mix of talon e where its a wide cone that slows people with dark force coming from the sword and retracting once again to slow the opponent, but do not restrict the ability with 5 spells then use. Instead keep the CD and add a passive:

  1. Scars of Dusk: Blood stack reaches 2 allows the ability to be casted. if the ability is casted, its on cd for 9 seconds scaling with cdr respectfully. Additional passive: if the ability is casted on the 3rd stack of Scars of dusk, then the ability heals Aatrox and puts a Grevious Wounds debuff on the enemy.
  2. Thirst of Blood: The skill can be casted once the buff is active. if the ability is casted, its on a CD for 9 seconds scaling with CDR respectfully. Additional passive: when the ability is casted, Aatrox steals ad from the champion increasing by level, lasting for 5 seconds. **

Current R(Massacre): Aatrox's sword is extended, gaining increased attack speed, range and dealing magic damage with basic attacks for 12 seconds. This ability fails to deliver the word "Massacre" instead just gives a longer sword with faster basic attacks. When you think "massacre" you want to see absolute destruction around you, so here's my version of this skill.

New R (Absolute Carnage): Aatrox draws his inner dark energy to change his sword to a sword whip which is enlarged to desecrate his foes. Damage will be based off of bonus AD and the casting animation can be increased with AS. Heres how the ability works, think of Velkoz ult while its channeling, yes its a channeling ability! Instead of it being in a linear line, Aatrox would be swinging his sword left and right in a frontal cone for 2.5 seconds. the cone wont be very large in length like Riven or MissFortune but will be wide like 180 degree angle and will have the extended range much similar to a Chogath W or Kassadin E. This ability's direction can be changed with the direction of the cursor, but slowly, Aatrox is stationary and unable to move while in channeling. After the 2.5 second duration is up Aatrox receives a exhaustion debuff slowing him for 60% lasting 1 second The cd of this ability will be 120/110/95 reduced by CDR.

Fx: Every slash from the swing gives off a dark red aura and every slash of Aatrox's sword causes the ground to slowly rip apart. When the 2.5 seconds have worn off, the sword goes back to its original state.

Passive effect: Scars of dusk: ultimate causes the stacks to build up with every slash of the sword. Thirst of Blood: buff remains active during the ult channeling and is on countdown after the duration of channeling has ended.

Conclusion: I hope you have enjoyed reading and understanding my Idea, I really would like to see this champion rolling in the rift once again, if Riot is going to use these Ideas the most I can ask is that I at least get some credit for it! If you like the idea upvote! if not then please tell me why you don't like it and what would you have instead?

Thank you all, Best of luck on the Rift.
