This matchup is literally unplayable. Ban Fiora or dodge on sight.
Irelia
Pretty much the same as fiora, Ban her or dodge on sight.
Yasuo
Yasuo can dance around for you days if there is a minion wave, but he is a sitting duck if no minions are around. In addition most yasuo's are dogs, they might just int into you.
Riven
fuck riven. the riven lane is even more volatile than the camile lane. shell try and all in you level 3 if she has ignite. keep vigilant and always be prepared to get flashed on. This matchup is winnable depending on Rivens skill level. Generally whoever manages their CD's the best wins. Aatrox has the ability to keep her at bay. Riven has amazing gank assist as well.
Poppy
If the poppy understands how to trade into you, you're pretty much totally fucked. However, you can survive lane by positioning properly and not getting pinned to a wall by her e. You outvalue her levels 9-13.
Camille
This matchup is pretty even. Aatrox and Camille both have abilities which can directly counter the other, making this an extremely volatile lane. You can knock Camile off of the wall with your q, and your passive auto is always guaranteed to hit before she gets her shield when you exchange autoes. I've had good success with both grasp and conqueror in this lane.
Shen
Shen is pretty dangerous, he trades even/positively if he is knowledgeable about how to play the matchup, and he has great gank assist and map control.
Nasus
The Nasus matchup is probably my least favorite matchup. You bully him till level 6. If Nasus knows the matchup, he will rush tabis and bramble and run you down with ghost and ult at level 6. You win the lane by bullying nasus, fending off his powerspikes (level 6 and level eleven) and getting to cleaver (you should rush it in this lane).
Ornn
55 ornn / 45 Aatrox
Jax
55 Jax / 45 Aatrox
Darius
Skill matchup, take second wind and try to take positive trades (use abilities as effectively as possible while disengaging at 3-4 bleed stacks). You will need to know your damage very well, as winning this matchup relies on you understanding when you can withstand Darius getting 5 bleed.
Renekton
This is my favorite matchup to play as Aatrox, its dead even. If the renekton is knowledgeable they will start e level 1 and try to get an auto trade off with you, if you force them to tank your minions when they do this, they should lose the trade.
Kled
Most of the time when I play this matchup, it's because the enemy top thinks they're smart and that kled hard counter's aatrox because of his heal. This is not the case, this matchup is actually pretty even. Try to control the pace of the lane; if you control the pacing, kled struggles to match your damage and sustain. The best way to kill kled is to get skaarl to low hp, then burst him down after dismounting. try to bait out kleds w before doing this as the bonus attack speed will make his remount come way faster.
Dr. Mundo
I'm actually pretty inexperienced with this matchup. You have kill pressure 6-9, but after that you will be reliant on other teammates to kill mundo.
Malphite
Same as all the other tanks. Watch out for his level 6 burst, if you arent prepared he can do around 1/3-1/2 your health without you being able to do anything.
Sion
You beat Sion in lane with your q, he is forced to fight in melee of you or just clear waves for 10 minutes. Later in the game he can pretty much stack infinite armor if he wants, so he will be almost unkillable by your hand.
Gangplank
60 Aatrox / 40 GP
Vladimir
You cock Vladimir in lane; however, if you are both 2-3 items you have a tough fight on your hands.
Volibear
65 Aatrox / 35 Volibear
Teemo
Aatrox is Teemo's worst nightmare. Bait out his ignite (if he has it) with your second wind and a pot, then you can all in him with conqeuror for an easy lane.
Garen
Garen is almost as easy as teemo; however, if he gets ahead he can be extremely dangerous with his execute ulti. With no mobility, Garen should never touch you, and you can keep his passive turned off by poking with q.
