my uptake on his current W (double AS cap) is to adjust his base stats.

shove the base AS down low to 0.5, and increase his AS/Lvl to 15% per lvl. yes this is a massive shift from being item-dependent into level-dependent, e.g. AS without items would be 0.5@lvl1, 0.875@lvl6 and 1.775@lvl18.

further adjustments like making his W onhit damage component permanently active, and increasing his base AD to 75(+1.5/Lvl), will solve his early game dps with such low base AS.

as such, even if you bruteforce your way into stacking lots of AS, it wouldn't be as effective, furthermore with the base AD being much higher than previously, he'd be a lot better being built as straight AD or AP before building AS.
