Honestly the only thing I'd like them to add at this point is for Aatrox to gain the 30% max HP healing at the end of the ult's duration if he does get a takedown but isn't forced to resurrect.

Tho it's still much better than current ulti where the more the enemies stall, the better it is for them; if these changes are the final version, the enemy team has to absolutely murder Aatrox once he pops ultimate before he can score a kill or assist; if he does get a takedown, not only does the ult duration half-reset (refreshing the huge MS buff, the huge AD buff and the huge healing buff) but also he gets the revive.

Reminder that this new version of the ultimate doesn't require Aatrox to survive for the full duration in order to get the max possible HP upon resurrection, which means that Aatrox doesn't have to play defensively in order to let the Blood Well fill up. With the new ult, the HP you regain on revive is always 30% of max HP and you can literally proc it within half a second from popping R if you can just jump into the enemies and immediately get a kill or assist.

Unlike the current ulti that encourages you to just try to stall for 10 seconds then suicide before the ult is over, and also it's always preferable for the enemies to kite you for 10 seconds then kill you right after, than try to actually nuke you before you can start rampaging.

The half-reset will be so amazing in preventing that horrible moment where you're going ham on the enemy team and just as your HP starts getting dangerously low, ult ends and you get cucked. Now, the more you can survive and get kills during R, the longer you'll be able to go ham, especially with the new resetting movespeed boosts.

And high ELO players can't abuse this R to tank turrets for free cause the revive will now require them to score a takedown, and skilled enemies will know that Aatrox must die instantly once he ults. So both teams will strive to grant or deny Aatrox his first takedown in the fight, and if he gets it he just becomes the spearhead of the attack.

If it's not obvious, I'm fucking hyped. "World Ender" will finally be worthy of its name.
