5.6 Aatrox Buff. What's the devs' goal with it?

From the patch notes:

Often times Aatrox would find himself wanting to use Dark Flight for a massive knockup into the enemy team, only realizing he didn't have much to be doing once he was in. Whether you're diving the backlines or just brawling the old-fashioned way, Massacre makes sure you've got enough fire in your veins when you decide to dive-kick your way into combat.

Though any buff is appreciated for my favorite champ, I don't really see what the devs are trying to do with it. This buff doesn't really allow Aatrox to do anything he wasn't already doing after initiation. If the Aatrox isn't already at a full Blood Well before a team fight (and any self-respecting Aatrox usually is), initiating with a standard Q->E combo will be sure to get him there.

The only time this buff would really be noticeable is if Aatrox's passive revive is up and, after initiation, he is blown up by the enemy team before even getting to use his ult. At that point, this buff would make sense by getting him back to a relatively full Blood Well in short order after he revives, assuming he can land a good Massacre. Is that all the devs wanted to do? Thanks for looking at him, in any case.
