Who Wins
- You lose both early levels 1-3 and level 6 all-ins against Aatrox due to his superior sustain and damage output.
- His Q knockups counter your engage attempts and his healing negates your poke damage.
How to Trade
- You should focus on short trades using Q-tap to poke then immediately backing off with W stealth.
- Never commit to extended trades as Aatrox will out-sustain and out-damage you with his passive healing.
Wave Control
- You need to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to avoid being run down in the long lane.
- Aatrox excels in extended trades in the middle of the lane where he can land multiple Q casts.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid using your hook predictably as Aatrox can easily sidestep it and punish with his Q combo.
- Never try to all-in him post-6 unless he's already very low, as his ultimate healing will likely turn the fight.
