Your Rework Idea on Aatrox Your rework Idea on Aatrox

As for rework ideas, I've always wanted Aatrox to be a counter engager in the same boat as someone like Fiddle or Cass. I was thinking something on the bounds of his abilities do a bit extra when he's below a certain health threshold.

Passive: Change his passive. Bloodwell is nice, but it's what's holding him back given how overloaded and powerful it can be. I don't know what I would change it into, but it needs to be changed.

Q: Even though this ability can seem the weakest of all of his abilities, I personally feel as if it is one of, if not his most, thematic ability. I would make it to where the whole circle would be a knock up. If that would be too overbearing, you could just decrease the circle radius, like how Soraka's Q was changed.

W: I would change this ability from a toggle to a activated ability like how new Shen's Q works, though without the added clunkiness. When activated, Aatrox's next set of attacks have increased AS, deal increased damage and heal him for a certain amount, with the amount of attacks increasing based on his missing health. If that proves too much, take out the attack speed portion. I like to think of this as being his spammable ability.

E: I actually don't know what to do with this ability, though I don't like what it is now, which is basically a V-shaped slow. It should probably remain a slowing ability. I'd like to think of the ability granting Aatrox bonus movespeed if he hits enemies with it.

R: This is the real counter engage tool. When Aatrox activates this ability, all of the things his ult does now except maybe the damage, he gains increased damage against all targets hit by the activation. All of his basic attacks during this time inspire his allies giving them movement speed and damage/attack speed per his basic attacks.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, that ult that I've made up sounds pretty overloaded so I am completely on board with pulling something out of it though I am not sure what. Otherwise, let me know what you think about my pitiful ideas.
