Aatrox: Idea Redux
I know a lot of people are giving feedback about how aatrox should be "fixed" and what type of role he should fill but I guess I just wanted to take the time to flesh out some of my own ideas mixed with ones I've taken from some other stuff.
------------ IDEAS --------------
P: The same but when his blood well is full the passive is changed to Blood Torrent. Changes back to blood well when out of combat for 4 seconds or when his health drops to 0.
Q - Dark Flight Same. Flight speed scales with attack speed.
- Blood Torrent: Generates a bloody spell shield during flight. Shield amount is equal to the health cost +X/Level.
W - Blood Thirst / Blood Price Blood Thirst: same Blood Price: same Aatrox will gain the bonus effect on his next basic attack whenever he damages an enemy with Massacre.
E - Blades of Torment Same. The speed of projectile scales with attack speed.
- Blood Torrent: The beam turns blood red, dealing bonus damage equal to health cost.
R - Massacre Aatrox spins a short distance for 0.25 seconds, unable to use basic attacks, and damages enemies he contacts. Aatrox will propel himself forward performing additional spins for each enemy hit for up to 4 spins (1 second). Spins will also fill Aatrox' blood well gauge per enemy hit.
If massacre connects with knocked up enemies, they are knocked in the opposite direction of the dash and take bonus damage. May be recast 2 more times within 12 seconds and adds bonus attack range during that 12 seconds.

--------- Reasoning -------------
Blood Torrent It would make sense that when his blood well is full, his excess blood should be going somewhere else.. thus the Blood Torrent and added effects. It also rewards him for reaching max blood well gauge in a teamfight or during / right before a duel.
Massacre It should act something like yasuo's E, giving Aatrox maneuverability in a teamfight to dodge or out-maneuver dangerous CC (ex Lux/ Morg Bind, Vayne's Condemn, etc)
---------- Other Ideas ----------
CDR during Revive Aatrox could reduce the cooldowns of his skills while in his revive stasis. This will give Aatrox more opportunity to either escape or not be completely useless during a fight in which he got rekt.
Blades of Torment At the very apex of the shot enemies can either suffer additional movement speed loss or some other effect like a root.
in-game actually reflected on his lore, being a team fight diver dealing massive damage. The current one we have is a coward that preys on the weak to sustain himself.
