Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Aatrox's superior range, poke, and sustain advantage through E omnivamp.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R, but must still respect his damage if you engage without proper setup or when low on health.
How to Trade
- Use Q through minions to gap close, then immediately W to stick to him and avoid his Q sweet spots by staying close.
- If he uses E to escape, save your Q reset and look for another angle rather than chasing into his Q range.
Wave Control
- Accept CS disadvantage early and focus on staying healthy for your level 6 power spike.
- Look for opportunities to thin the wave with Q when he roams or backs, but avoid extended trades in large minion waves.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Aatrox has his full combo available and you're not at high health, as his burst with Q sweet spots can outdamage your sustain.
- Never chase him through minion waves where he can kite you with Q while you're slowed by creep block.
