A lot of poke/harass which is incredibly annoying, however he is way too squishy and therefore, bait out Q and engage once Q passive runs out.
Jax
Strong champion, a lot of trading potential and denies your AA's, however bait out his Q (hop), then disengage, then reengage. He'll most likely use counter-strike when he attempts to fight you so make sure you don't AA him, use your Q and W.
Yasuo
He's very slippery and he'll be able to poke you down using your minions, let him push and farm under your turret and when he gets a bit too cocky - as Yasuo's usually do - engage underneath turret with E + Q
Illaoi
She can be a considerable threat, however just trade with her and you should be okay, you mainly want to engage once she has used her E, but don't underestimate her damage. Continuously poke her with Q and W and when she's low you should be able to all-in her, just be careful of her ultimate - R.
Tryndamere
He shouldn't be much of a threat in all honesty, you just poke him with your abilities and out-trade him. You have a similar ultimate ability towards him but yours is better so you should generally win.
Urgot
A mediocre match-up, avoid his poke and wait for his abilities to go on cool down and then engage, your ult completely counters his. Don't underestimate him late game though
Irelia
She's a slippery match up aswell, however she isn't as bad as Yasuo, she can negate some of your damage but she won't be able to win many trades as long as she doesn't have her conqueror stacks, so engage before she can and make sure you track her down as she'll use Q to move around minions
Vayne
Her poke will be extremely annoying to deal with, however she is just another squishy, you can bust her down. Ask your jungler for a gank as she will be very vulnerable towards one.
Fiora
She can trade reasonably well with you, just bait our her W and you should be able to win against her after.
Riven
Honestly shouldn't be much of a threat, she doesn't out damage you and you can continuously poke her with Q, she'll attempt to engage you a couple of times but you win.
Darius
It may be a difficult match up because Darius is able to deal a lot of damage, however you can attempt to trade with him and make sure you counter his Q by standing in the middle of it. You also counter his R. Make sure you poke him with Q + W and all-in when he's relatively low, you don't want him to get 5 stacks on passive.
Garen
Level 1-2 he wins against you due to his Q so make sure you avoid his poke with Q, once he has used Q abuse that moment to then poke him with your own Q's. You should win after 6, you counter his ultimate.
Camille
I have yet to play against Camille, however you should definitely be careful of this champion, she's extremely strong and she will possibly out-trade you, make sure you attempt to dodge her abilities and avoid her poke.
Cho'Gath
He shouldn't be much of an issue, dodge his Q's and poke him a lot with your Q's, you should be able to fight him with ease but don't underestimate his damage.
Kled
Kled will be quite annoying to deal with just because of his aggressive laning phase, you mainly want to avoid dueling him and instead trade with him, once he's quite low you should consider an all-in.
Gnar
He may be slightly difficult because of his poke and his E which is his leap, however you can burst him down quite easily and use your W to CC him.
I'm currently in Platinum IV and I've decided to make an Aatrox build. I don't main Aatrox, however I have played him quite a lot, he's usually my way-to-go whenever I'm top, I'm currently Level 7 as Aatrox. Why should you play Aatrox? Aatrox has extremely high damage in lane and he has the potential to burst down squishes that you may lane against, he's an effective bruiser in the top lane. In my opinion, Aatrox is currently one of the best top laners to abuse due to his lane dominance - to an extent -.
Pros:
Potential to burst squishys Good at zoning Amazing team fight potential High damage input High sustain Incredible engage
Cons:
Not a hyper carry Can be difficult if behind Considerably immobile Weak against kite Easy to gank
