How to play it

Space his Q's
Track the rotation: Q1, Q2, Q3, then nothing. Stay out of the sweet spot of his third Q so it can't crit and knock you up, and add his E range once he has it.
Bait his R
Just like Fiora, bait out his R and disengage: then spin in and all-in once World Ender is down and he can't stall the fight.
Fight him early
Don't leash: Aatrox is weakest at level 1. Walk up, auto and spin out, and contest the level-2 spike while he's still level 1.
Never leash this matchup: Aatrox is weakest early, and leashing hands him the free start he needs to win an even lane.
