Who Wins
- You lose the early 1v1 due to Aatrox's superior range, sustain, and poke potential with Q spam.
- At level 6, you still struggle in pure 1v1 scenarios since your R doesn't provide combat stats, while Aatrox gains massive healing and damage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q to zone Aatrox from last-hitting, then looking for E-flash or E when he steps up for CS to land taunt into Q-empowered autos.
- Always try to fight inside your W zone to negate his auto attacks and reduce his overall damage output.
Wave Control
- Focus on maintaining wave control through Q positioning and look for opportunities to thin the wave before using R for map plays.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you can immediately roam, as Aatrox will freeze and zone you from farm.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E predictably when Aatrox has his E available, as he can easily dodge your taunt and punish you.
- Avoid extended trades outside your W zone, as Aatrox's sustain and damage will overwhelm you in longer engagements.
