Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 due to Aatrox's superior range with Q and sustain from passive, but his long cooldowns create windows.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with R engage potential, though Aatrox can still win if he lands Q sweetspots consistently.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E-auto-Q for quick burst then immediately W to disengage before Aatrox can retaliate with his Q combo.
- Never extend trades without your W available as escape, since Aatrox will out-sustain and out-damage you in prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- Focus on shoving waves quickly with E-Q combo to create roaming opportunities, as you cannot match Aatrox's sustain in lane.
- Look for slow pushes into crashes when your jungler is nearby, since Aatrox is vulnerable to ganks when overextended.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W aggressively for damage in trades early game, as it's your only escape tool against Aatrox's all-in potential.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where Aatrox can hit multiple Q sweetspots and heal significantly from his passive.
