Vayne counters Aatrox hard with her dodge and her knock-back. I would suggest landing your W to try to make them burn their dodge and maybe start getting one or tow of your Q hits off before they send you back to your tower.
Lucian
This guy will be a pain in the tush with his kit, especially his dodge. The same with Vayne,, land the W to burn the dodge and attempt to land a Q off as a result.
Soraka
She will silence you and you will not be able to send out your W or dash towards the enemy so she is going to be hard to get anything off on. If anything try to bait her silence by walking to her and changing direction to the ADC. Might work in low elo, haven't gone against a good one yet to know for sure.
Blitzcrank
Any pulls will not be good for Aatrox, I recommend just not going support if you see one of these suckers.
Pyke
This guy again with the pulls, also his large amount of ms when he wants and he dodges, this guy is the perfect counter to Aatrox support, if he picks first, just go Leona its too easy to win against him as a more tank focused support.
Nautilus
This guy is going to be a hassle if he hooks you, though this guys hook is one to be less afraid of since he goes to you and can only stun you, take this chance to land a W and position yourself to hit some sweet sweet Q's.
Amumu
Same as nautilus, if he lands the hook, send out your W and get some Q's off.
Draven
If this guy is chasing you, land your W, E away if you have to to land a Q. His movement speed could get him out of it if you don't land a Q then your abilities are burnt and your dead.
Karma
She's going to be annoying because of her ms she gets from her shield, if she pops it, try Dashing and landing a Q off after landing a W, it should stop her in her tracks and leave her vulnerable for your ADC to get some damage off.
Ashe
Ashe is going to be annoying if you waste your E, she will slow you and kite your Q's (if they are good) I would suggest saving your E for if your ADC is close enough to do enough damage to scare her. If not youll be the one losing the trade.
Samira
Samira can dash out of your W once every like 30 seconds, you get your W before that and Samira's w is useless against you so have fun cc'ing her to death if your ADC is close enough.
Xerath
This guy does way too much damage and his stun is way too capable of stopping the impending doom that Aatrox is, if you see him in champ select and he bans a support or ADC, don't go Aatrox unless you want to fight the biggest uphill battle of your life. Once I got close to him he was easy to kill, to do that I had to dash through a wall while he was attacking a control ward so I had time to set up al my abilities while using the ward to hide myself.
Jhin
His poke is pretty annoying and if he hits you with an ability, Aatrox is quite telegraphed because all we want is to get close so his W hits us as if it were magnetized (or I'm just kind of bad) but he dies pretty easily once getting close enough to him
Samira
This is the reason I created this rune page. It is ideal for Samira with her passive that extends Airborns. I can't imagine this rune page doing anymore good than with Samira but I will go test out the champion with other champs to attempt to find more synergies.
Draven
This guy is going to enjoy hitting a bunch of axes on the enemies that are caught up in your Q's
Yasuo
This is another reason Aatrox Support could wreck havoc on the planet. Once level 6 Yasuo can pop his R on any of Aatrox's Q tippers. This will let Aatrox and Yasuo get their full combos off. While Yasuo R's set up your W and land all of your Q's. Also laugh because they will die if both Yasuo and Aatrox lands their full combos.
Kalista
Kalista is nice to have because when she slows with your autos it is very easy to land your Q. Her ult also throws you into the battle, instantly landing your cage and getting 2 Q tippers off which equals massive damage.
Ashe
Ashe's slow is pretty good for Aatrox, when she slows it will be easy to land your first Q into your W and getting your combo off. Her ult also gives alot of time for Aatrox to W then get the Q's off.
Caitlyn
If you and the caitlyn are both good she could put her trap on the center of your W. Thats only if she trusts you and nearly no random trusts Aatrox support off the bat (yet).
Jhin
Jhin is great for Aatrox simply because if you land a single Q he lands his W off, then that lets you get our W out and land more of those sweet sweet Q tippers. After awhile it feels like im playing Marth.
Ezreal
Ezreal has no cc, so there isn't any potential for a cc chain letting you get your W off easily. Though the good thing about him is when you go in he can back you up by blinking through minions and getting his poke off.
Tristana
Her slow is pretty decent so it lets you get a Q off, she also can go all in with you if she deems it worth, (Which if you are doing things right, it is always) so she can get her damage off while you cc them like crazy.
Sivir
The ms on Sivir's R is to die for, its everything Aatrox loves, if you can get around minions and land your W you'll be in heaven after hitting your Q's, it'll probably burn their flash since they fear Aatrox. Other than her R there isnt much else going for her except the fact that if you land your Q she will most likely get her Q off with maximum damage.

Hello! I'm glad you have found this. I am currently silver stuck so you have no reason to take my advice... buuuut, I have been testing out this for a little bit now and I have been very happy with it. I can't say the same for everyone else I play with, enemy team and ally team alike. But I can assure you I am attempting to improve and not just trying to waste your time. If you happen to find a better set of runes that follow along what I'm attempting to do here please leave a comment or shoot me an email at Orosco74jr@gmail.com. Yes that is my email. I am serious about this and I would like to continue making peoples lives hell in every lane with Aatrox. Thank you for taking your time to read this and give it a like or whatever it is here. Anyways have fun supporting people who don't want you in their lane. and if it goes well you'll change some minds. Have fun slaying!
