This isn't really anything special no full blown kit rework. But I find Aatrox has been in a very bad spot for a long time. When he was teased I loved the idea of a fighter/tank focusing on lifesteal. When he was released I bought him straight away and thought he was awesome. But now after repeated nerfs he is only barely hanging on because of guinsoo and sated devourer. So here's a little something I came up with to make him better (I hope)

passive: Darkin blade: Aatrox's blade constantly thirsts for blood, and is imbued with magic to help Aatrox Sate it.

Blood well, Aatrox stores the health costs of his abilities in the blood well. Granting him attack speed as it fills. If he dies, he goes into stasis and heals for the amount in the blood well. The blood well is also filled whenever Aatrox steals life from a target.

The Thirst: All of Aatrox's physical damage abilities benefit from lifesteal.

Q: Dark flight: Aatrox takes flight, gaining increased movement speed and causing his next basic attack to dive towards his target, dealing damage in an area around it. Movement speed increase: 15/20/25/30/35% increase for 4 seconds Damage: 100/150/200/250/300 (+ 50% Bonus AD) health cost: 10% of current HP cooldown: 15/13.5/10/7.5/6 seconds

W: Blood thirst/Blood price : Unchanged

E: Blades of Torment: unchanged, But now has a +25% Bonus AD scaling

R: massacre: Aatrox unleashes his full power, causing magic damage to enemies around him. this causes Dark flight and Blades of Torment's cooldowns to both become 2 seconds. Additionally, allies within the activation area gain increased lifesteal and attack speed for the duration. Aatrox also gains attack speed for the duration. Attack speed granted: 30/40/50% Attack speed granted to allies: half of what is granted to Aatrox. Lifesteal granted to allies: 10/20/30% Damage dealt to Enemies: 100/200/300 (+ 100% AP) magic damage cost: 10% of maximum HP Duriation: 4/5/6 seconds Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds.

The biggest change I made is to Aatrox's ultimate. I find it to be incredibly lack luster and not exactly the way it is explained in the lore. With this change, Aatrox is awakening his allies inner bloodlust and willing them to fight even more. While he himself ducks and weaves through the battlefield, creating his masterpiece. Let me know what you think of it.
