How to play it

Survive his early lane
Aatrox is built to win lane: respect his Q combo and just survive early; don't hand him a lead.
Fight at 6+
Your window is level 6 and beyond: once you have your ult you can start fighting him.
He falls off
If Aatrox doesn't snowball the early game, he falls off and you outscale him: deny his lead and wait him out.
Never feed Aatrox an early lead: he's built to win lane, and once he's ahead you can't wait him out.
