Aatrox rework idea.

So I just got done playing a match with Aatrox and I thought. "What does he need and how could it not be OP?"Apparently Riot has talked about reworking him so here's just my 2 cents on what he could get. Everything here is pretty much a WIP. From names to numbers.

Passive Part 1

Pain is Temporary Auto attacks and abilities that hit Aattrox give him bonus defense for a short time. Plus 3 AD for each auto and plus 5 MR for each spell.

Part 2 Victory is Forever After Pain is Temporary wears off Aattrox gains a damage boost, absorbing all the damage taken and converting it into AP and AD. Recommend that something shows when Aatrox switches between the two modes.

While Victory is Forever is active Aatrox cannot take any of the benefits from Pain is Temporary.

Q-Quake Aatrox plunges his sword into the ground causing it to deal damage to himself which is applied into his passive and knock up all enemy targets around him.

W-The Gain of Pain Aatrox plunges his sword into himself causing it to hunger for blood, applying the damage dealt to himself on his passive. For the next ten seconds Aatrox must sate the bloodlust of his sword otherwise he'll take massive damage from it. (Undecided if this should be added to his passive) After meeting the standard Aatrox's sword will lash out in a cone dealing all the damage it absorbed to the targets within it's damage field.

E-Shattering Flight Aatrox takes to the skies gaining bonus movement speed. While in the air Aatrox drags his blade across the ground leaving havoc in his wake dealing damage to all within the scarred zone. (think of an Etch A Sketch from hell) If Aatrox is hit by Shattering Flight all the damage taken is (you guessed it) applied to his passive.

Ultimate-Terror of the Ages

Aatrox combines all of his basic abilities into a massive pain train and improving upon them.

Upon activation Aatrox terrifies all units around him. Only sparing his allies because he needs someone to feed his blade later. Aatrox's blade forever lashes out in all directions, dealing more damage the more enemies are stuck, he stays in flight and the zone of which he flies from now explodes, knocking up targets. All damage taken is reduced by Pain is Temporary and boosted by Victory is Forever at the same time.

So this might not be a rework exactly, more of a reimagining. Aatrox right now is just a sustain monster. That is quite literally what he is. We already have several of those in league and don't really need another. This kit is the very definition of risk reward. You could hurt yourself to become more tank and deal more damage or you can play it safe, forgoing your nature and just trying to 1v1 opponents with your autos.

This whole idea is taken from the visuals of Aatrox's splash art and general scene of a threat.

When you see this, what comes to your mind first?

An Unkillable Imp or a Terror and Blood Fueled Demon?

If you like, it great, hopefully this thread will gain some traction ad Riot will see it.

Hate it? Well, then explain why. What do you think is just all around broken or just sounds like a stupid idea.

Kind of hard to edit my mistakes. For some reason I can't scroll down.
