Effective Laning Strategies:

1. Position minions between you and Aatrox to block his W and prevent all-in attempts
2. Exploit his long early-game cooldowns on Q and E by trading aggressively when they're down
3. Maintain safe distance to avoid his Q burst damage, even if it means sacrificing some CS

Team Fight Tactics:

• Focus CC and burst damage on Aatrox when he initiates
• Engage when his Ultimate or Flash are on cooldown
• Counter his split-pushing by forcing 5v4 team fights, but maintain vision control

Key Power Spikes to Watch:

1. Levels 2-6: Keep distance to avoid Q poke
2. First item completion (including components): Respect increased all-in potential
3. Throughout game: Practice dodging Q abilities to minimize damage taken

Pro Tip: Aatrox excels in burst trades using Q. Adopt a sustained damage approach and avoid his combo windows for successful countering.
