Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose trades due to Aatrox's superior range and sustain through E passive, but can punish missed Q combos with W stun into Q.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure if you can dodge his combo and reset with R, but he still wins extended trades with his enhanced sustain.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades when his Q is on cooldown, using W to stun him then Q auto for passive proc before disengaging.
- Avoid extended trades where his omnivamp and Q sweet spots will out-sustain your damage output.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to deny his Q farm and force him to use abilities on minions rather than you.
- After level 3, focus on freezing near your tower where you can run him down if he overextends for CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade when he has Q available as his combo will out-damage you significantly.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where he can heal off multiple targets with his omnivamp passive.
