"I dont understand his passive. Does each autoattack reduce the cooldown by one second?

Yes, one autoattack reduce the cooldown by one second.

However, it IS a 10 sec timer. If you dont attack anything the timer will still count down from 10 to 0 and activate the passive (Umbra blades).

"Which means 10 autoattack the passive gets activated"

In theory yes, but remember that while you attack (wich takes some time), the timer still count down as usual, so you will never have to attack 10 times to reactivate Umbra blades.

Lets say you have 2 attacks/sec for easy math (just need a couple of AS-items). In theory you will activate Umbra blades in 5 secs if constantly autoattacking, but its really more like 3,5 seconds (or close to it).

sec 1: 1 tick on the timer, + 2 attacks = 3 secs gone from the timer, 7 secs left

sec 2: 1 tick on the timer, + 2 attacks = 3 secs gone from the timer, 4 secs left

sec 3: 1 tick on the timer, + 2 attacks = 3 secs gone from the timer, 1 sec left.

sec 4: Umbra blades will activate before a full second has passed.
