How to play it

Dodge his first Q
Dodging his first Q is everything; at auto range he must commit E early to land it.
Kill him in his ult
When he ults, kill him if you can instead of running: he has no revive unless he gets a kill first.
E out of his combo
If his W chains you, run sideways and E out: your E also dodges his follow-up Q's.
Never stay up in lane once you're behind without your stun or E ready: that's when Aatrox runs you down.
