Akali's extreme mobility and shroud give her the tools she needs to avoid most of your damage. The only way to beat her is to bait her cooldowns
Camille
While Aatrox doesn't appreciate people jumping right on top of him, You can outsustain her and possibly interrupt her engage with a well timed Q
Cho'Gath
Play aggressively against cho'gath, or he will outsustain you off of his passive. His large hitbox and low mobility makes it easy for you to hit your abilities
Darius
DO NOT FIGHT HIM EARLY! you can poke him with the first or 2nd cast of your Q, but only if you are sure that he won't be able to pull you in, which will cause you to lose
Dr. Mundo
Fight him early before he stacks armor and is able to sustain more damage than you could imagine dealing to him. Buy an early executioner's calling
Fiora
Aatrox's worst matchup in my opinion. Her low cooldown dash and ability to parry and=y part of your combo into a stun make her a tremendous pain to lane against. Focus on surviving in lane and try to force teamfights, where you will be far more useful than Fiora.
Gangplank
Aatrox is one of the few champs that can deal with Gangplank's early Q spam. Punish him for trying to get grasp procs, and try to stay close to him to generate your passive faster and prevent him from running away
Garen
Aatrox should have no problem with this matchup. If he ever charges you with Q, you should be able to knock him up with your own Q and lead into a full combo. His damage cannot match your sustain in prolonged fights
Gnar
If you want to fight Mini Gnar, your best bet is to interrupt his jump with your Q+E. Once he can't escape, you should be able to deal a sizeable amount of damage to him. Mega gnar is easy to hit, just be sure to keep clear of walls.
Illaoi
If she hits her E, you lose. If she misses her E, she loses. Simple as that. It is worth saving your E to dodge hers
Irelia
While her ability to constantly dash is annoying, you can dodge her stun with your E, and will most likely be able to land a full combo on her if she jumps onto you
Jax
Play safe. If Jax decides to jump on you, use the disengage combo mentioned later in the guide
Jayce
Aatrox can deal with both forms of Jayce fairly easily. You should be able to kill him easily at level 6 since he does not have a powerspike due to his lack of an ult
Kayle
Bully her. Hard. If she plays passive with Klepto, freeze wave and have you jungler come. She will outscale you if you do not shut her down in lane.
Kennen
Due to his Range and the speed from his E, kennen can harass you until you're low enough to die to his all-in. Ult and fight if he uses his E aggressively
Kled
Thanks to the grievous wounds from his Q, Kled can win skirmishes faily easily. Try your best to keep him close to being knocked off of Skaarl, then commit once you know you can kill him with a quick combo
Malphite
Despite building tons of armor, Malphite does prroly against Aatrox in lane. Without burning his ult, he has no way to dodge your Combo, and cannot hope to outdamage or outsustain you
Maokai
Maokai will most likely play passive and ask for lots of ganks. Don't overcommit on him unless you know you're alone, in which case you can kill him fairly easily.
Mordekaiser
Bully him early. You can punish him hard when any one of his abilities are on cooldown, and you will win fights (even in death realm) until he finishes his core items and gets some levels under his belt. He is easy to snowball off of, which you will need to do to win this matchup
Nasus
You should do your best to make sure that nasus never gets to touch his minions in the early laning phase. You have all of the tools you need to keep him at low health and prevent him from farming. At level 6, you can fight him as long as you fave your ult, and will likely need assistance after that unless you are snowballing
