I'm actually not a big fan of Aghanim's. Sure, it gives a unique effect to each hero, which is cool, but it's a huge burden of knowledge on the player (i.e. what's the Aghanim's effect for X, Y and Z heroes), and often its decision-making process is fairly binary, with the effect being either good enough to make it a core item, or not good enough to pick over something else.

I'm not that familiar with attack speed scalings on Smite, but I imagine that changing attack speed to a model similar to it would definitely make attack speed the more late-game of marksman stats. There are probably adjustments to certain champion steroids that would have to be made for them to not dip too far up or down at some stages, though if it were to make stat steroids feel more unique and important, that would be fantastic.
