Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Aatrox and who Aatrox beats
Aatrox is terrifying when his combo connects, but the whole thing is gated behind landing the sweet spot of his Q, the slow telegraphed edge of each swing. Whiff those and he is a melee fighter with a short dash and not much else for several seconds. He has only one source of mobility in Umbral Dash, no hard lockdown beyond the pull on his Infernal Chains, and his power lives in self healing, so anything that cuts his sustain or simply out heals him gives him fits. The way to beat Aatrox is to dodge or sidestep his Q angles, bring Grievous Wounds to gut his healing, and either out scale him or out last the duel he is trying to win. Champions who can survive his burst window, kite his dash, or cripple his attack speed and movement so he cannot land his shapes make his life miserable. When you pick Aatrox you are betting you can hit your skillshots in a brawl, so respect anyone who can ride out the fight and still be standing when your healing runs dry.
