Scuttle Contest

  • You lose early scuttle fights due to Aatrox's superior range and Q knockup chains that prevent you from sticking to him.
  • Post-6, you win 1v1s when you have R active and can dodge his Q3 with your Q, as your sustained damage and E stun become overwhelming once you close the gap.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Aatrox will likely start bot side for a faster clear and look to contest top scuttle around 3:15, then path toward his strong side for ganks.
  • He favors vertical jungling early since his clear speed is decent but he's vulnerable to invades without his sustain items.

Invade or Not

  • Avoid invading pre-6 as Aatrox wins most early skirmishes with his Q combo and sustain from passive.
  • Your best invade timing is post-6 when you have R available and can catch him at low HP after clearing camps, particularly at his krugs or gromp.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to trade autos early without your E up, as Aatrox will out-sustain you with his passive healing.
  • Avoid fighting in narrow jungle corridors where you can't dodge his Q sweetspots, and never engage when his passive is fully stacked without having your full combo ready.
