Some people may think this is crazy, but indeed yasuo is extremely easy to lane against. You dont even have to force the fight. He can choose to start and trust me just hit him once. Yes he block damage but now his shield is down and aatrox can put tons of damage on him with blood price. If you engage on him u pop his shield and u can hit him 3 times over and over with blood price. If he tries to juke you out have a knock up. Save this knock up until he is out of dashes. It gets easier later in the lane. Just buy cutglass and u can go ham whenever you want. You slow him and u make his passive useless.
Darius
Darius is well actually in generaly a skill match up but if your against someone who bullys hard just max E. Sure you lose some attack power but you can keep poking him. Darius has no poke so it should be to hard. Farm with E too. Also if your junglier is going to gank its ver easy to take him down. Just knock him up with your q for your junglier and then he will be force to flash or he could die.
Dr. Mundo
Not much to say. Aatrox has better sustain fighting against him early game and late game. Sure mundo can run and then enter back, but aatrox can hit a few cs.
Vladimir
This is a skill match up. If your playing aatrox then do you best to build some blood for your passive. Poke him a few time but still max w. Dont always poke him tho. Try to knock him up first. If vlad uses w to dodge it then that is even better. You should do this when he has high hp or full. Some vlads think this is good but its not. It is like u use pool to get away but take the damage for it. But if not then he will take lots of damage. But still vlad has heals too and can poke you easier so i hope these tips r good. You are much better than vlad late game.
Cho'Gath
Another skill match up. Cho gath is tanky making it hard for you to kill him. His ult does more damage the lower you get and this is too much for you to sustain it. Only luck if he ults to hearly. Call your junglier if you need help. You are better then him at lv 2 if you get w and q and your better than him late game. Just be carful at lv 3 and 6. Buy mr and hp if your against cho gath.
Irelia
If you engage on early with q and e combo and dont use 3rd aa of blood thirst or price you have a chance of not getting stunned. It depends how much health you or she has tho. Late game you are better. Mid game i would say watch out. (Almost forgot, watch for ignites against your laner)!
Malphite
Ah malphite. Dont poke him too much. Poke him if he loses his shiled or if you just used e to break it and use it again after. Malphite tho has attack speed reduction and this can annoy you especially if your trading with him. His ult can easily set up ganks for his team and do not use q at that moment. Wait for him to ult first. Or use it if you see the junglier. You are better late game.
Riven
Riven usually is better when it comes to trading. However if Aatrox is tankier at lv 1 or in general has more tank. He usually can win. Try not to get too close to riven during the laning phase.
Nasus
Nasus has no chance before lv 6. But if he is just tanky enough he can do little trades with you due to the attack speed reduction on his w. Late game watch out because he will hurt. Buy a thornmail to return the damage.
Xin Zhao
Xin can be tricky. He almost has the same playstyle. He does better at mini trades than you due to knock up on 3rd attack. He wont continue to fight you though. He will engage and walk out as it would be dangerous for him to do that. Mid game he will stomp you so dont let him have an advantage during the laning phase.
Garen
Garen usually wants to engage first if he uses Q just slow him with E. Let him use his Q first unless you are too far away you can use E, but it will be harder to hit. Watch for his ult at lv 6 as this usually gives him the advantage when you drop at less health. Buy a hexdrinker. By chance Garen's execute will do damage at the amount your shield pops which will cause it to do no damage.
Fiora
Fiora is a very hard match up. Her kit is basically designed to counter you. She is better than you early and late game. The reason why she isnt at the top of this list is because she is bad against cc. Also aatrox can use dark flight towards tower when she ults or he can use it to knock her up and set up a gank during the laning phase. Always call your junglier for help if you have a chance. Your kit (no matter how fed you get) will always be countered.
Pantheon
Pantheon is really powerful against you pre lv 6. Do not 1v1 him early or mid game. Late game is where you shine. Aatrox wins late game but he needs a head start. If he doesnt get a head start he wont be very useful. Pantheon is above fiora because he isnt as squishy and is honestly better in teamfights. His passive can block your blood thirst and price. (Blood Price will hit actually but only do the amount it does as an ability but take of the aa).
Jax
Jax is the worst for aatrox. He can dodge all of his insane attack speed and return that damage back. However early game you have to take your advantage to become useful. Early game it is even. Mid game it depends which has gotten more fed. But there is nothing you can do about his late game. Jax is simply too strong. No matter how much more fed you get Jax will overcome his fears of you being fed and simply just doesnt care. Jax can crush aatrox no matter how much health he has. Late game you have to get help to stop this dude. In teamfights he will wreck you for harming the adc and will eat you.
Kill the Adc quick. If you focus jax while the rest of the other people try to protect adc or kill it jax will take you and destroy a very important offtank on your team as he is their offtank that is still alive and can turn the tables. Be carful with this one. He will dodge all your life steal.
