Aatrox

The main goal when playing Aatrox is to annoy your laner with your q early game. He's does fairly well in teamfights but when cc'd hard, you'll in most cases end up dying. He get's countered easily by ignite and grievous wounds and isn't the best pick right now but that doesn't mean you should try him out.

Why Aatrox Isn't Good

Aatrox wins a lot of his matchups due to his strong early game but gets shutdown way to easily. If the enemy laner goes ignite and executioners or bramble vest first back, you're screwed. His q can be dodged easily if the enemy has a lot of mobility (Riven, Renekton, Vayne etc.). His w doesn't really have something that's really good in it. In fact, his w is very bad as it's easy to get out of and even if your w hits, there's no gurantee that it you will kill them when they get pulled in. It takes a while to pull the enemy and can be avoided easily. His e is very short and doesn't give Aatrox the best mobility but is good when paired with your q.

What is Good About Aatrox

Aatrox has a strong early game and is pretty good in teamfights and 1v1s. His q does decent dmg and when paired with your e, you win fights easily. His auto attack cancel is essential to winning fights. Aatrox isn't really the fastest auto attacker so that extra dmg with your e auto attack cancel is really good. His ult gives him insane healing and when paired with gore drinker, your q's and e's, It makes it hard for the enemy to kill you.

Why You Play Aatrox

You play Aatrox if you don't like dying. Aatrox is really good at 2v1s. Aatrox is also a fun champion to play but sometimes won't be if you have a tough matchup. Aatrox is also pretty easy to learn and teaches you a lot about the game such as wave clearing, poking, kiting, auto attack canceling and using item actives.
