"While attack speed may have never scaled with AD before, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Equipment Mastery and Frenzy all grant attack-speed on attacks. I honestly feared someone would have pointed out that it out-classes Jax's passive. ;) " Well, Jax stacks six times and on-hit. What your innate does is encouraging raw damage over AS, since you'll get a good amount of it that way, too. But this needs Abaddon to be tanky enough to survive this advantage. I think this innate is just way more interesting and fun to play around with. While it enables Abaddon a chance, it also counters him if you can reduce his AD.

"Melee carries are currently considered unviable across the board. Perhaps midline is their calling? I doubt it, but the fact melee carries currently lane top and jungle is no reason to knock magic-mitigation. Nidalee, Elise, Vlad, Rumble, etc, are all popular top-laners too. ;) " Yep, and Talon is quite often Mid nowadays. And Lee Sin was for a time the Fotm mid,too. ;)

"However, I'd like to point out that he starts on 0 charge - he has to 'play aggressive' to be on full charge. But yeah, longer cooldown early game. 18 / 15 / 12 / 9 / 6? Or 22 / 18 / 14 / 10 / 6? " I suspect Abaddon Players using their energy extremely wisely. Harassing, harassing, harassing. And unless they aren't sure they can kill their lane opponent (with their Hyperdrive), they won't use it. Since it does not degenerate, you'll probably have full charges after 3 or 4 waves. So, it makes a amazing esacpe tool early. However, 18 seconds should be sufficient, since a double-gank will be mostly successfull this way.

Concerning his ultimate: I'd like to suggest making it vice versa. Flames always feel more like... burning something to make it warm. Sacrifice life for damage, if you know what I mean. When nearby enemy champions, he burns their life, but decays in the process his own life.
