I main aatrox. I would say I'm fairly decent at top laning with him. One of the things this article seems not to mention is aatrox's ultimate. The massive increase in attack speed with range is a deadly combination, especially if aatrox has built blade of the ruined king(which is an essential). I know many times that I have used my ult just to regain health. I don't have to worry about getting engaged because I can hit from distance and with how fast I can hit, I am back to full health quite quickly. Another strategy that has come about is an aatrox e build. His e can either be used as extra damage or life steal. The extra damage plus his ultimate can lead to many headbutts. However, aatrox has his revive which gives him the win. Your frozen heart and other as slowdowns are going to be a must if you want to effectively outfight aatrox.

A happy aatroxer

I main Aatrox. I would say I'm fairly decent at top laning with him. One of the things this article seems not to mention is Aatrox's ultimate. The massive increase in attack speed with range is a deadly combination, especially if Aatrox has built Blade of the Ruined King, which I consider to be core on him. I know many times that I have used my ult just to regain health.

As Aatrox, I don't have to worry about getting engaged upon because I can hit from distance and with how fast I can hit, I am back to full health quite quickly. Another strategy that has come about is an Aatrox E build. His E can either be used as extra damage or life steal. The extra damage plus his ultimate can lead to many headbutts. However, Aatrox has his revive which gives him the win.

In order to effectively out-fight Aatrox, you will need to have Attack Speed slows.
