Idea to make new Aatrox more viable

So, a lot of Aatrox players aren't too happy with the changes, but If he were able to use item 3078 more effectively I think it would make him much more playable. Other than the mana, every stat is very good on him, especially the HP now that he has a missing health ratio and that his new passive gives him bonus BASE ad which makes triforce's spell blade passive deal more damage.

SO the idea would be to make his 3 hit proc on his W count as a spell cast for the purposes of Spell Blade.

The reason why item 3078 isn't very good on him right now, is that his cooldowns are too high to proc spellblade very often --Even at max rank with 40% cdr his lowest cooldown would be his E every 4.8 seconds which is ~3 times longer than triforces 1.5 second cooldown. So, without breaking him and just making his cooldowns lower; Changing W's 3 hit to count as a spell cast makes the most sense.

But yeah, its just an idea. Let me know what you think

Now that would certainly be spicy. I imagine coding it might be an issue but I think it could work.

really is a perfect item for him. aatrox always has wanted every stat.

what's sad is there's not a lot of items that work well with him that have resistances, when resistances naturally increase the value of his healing by a LOT

i remember that randuin's change that gave attack speed on the active per unit slowed. that would have been something on aatrox
