Show all

Threat		Notes
1	Nidalee	Easy lane. she will try to get you before you will reach level 6. but when you hit level 6, play aggressive. first max E after it max Q.
1	Sona	Very easy. she cant really get you within a adc. just do it! kill her. she support - not too hard for pro player. skills- first E. after it max Q.
1	Master Yi	Your lane! he cant get you. just dodge his Q, win the lane. skills- first Q, after it W.
2	Singed	as nidalle, you one of the counterpicks against signed.
2	Ekko	Very easy. just end him fast, he cant get you.
2	Jarvan IV	Maybe he had more CC and easier to play CC, but you had more damage. got him fast.
3	Dr. Mundo	Very easy. max your E first, after it your Q. play aggressive.
3	Cho'Gath	as mundo.
3	Twisted Fate	not a top as you know but that a tip. his gold can stun and stop your Q, so play smart. max your E first, after max your Q if you know to use him against twisted fate.
4	Garen	Try to get level 6 before him. loss a tower, loss even a full teamfight but don't let him kill you. at level 5, stop use skills and drink all your poitons. when you reach level 6, just kill him fast. don't let him chase you. first max E. if he didn't run from yourself, max Q. if he runs, max W.
4	Teemo	Easy lane but not easiest. most players of teemo didn't know to play him. buy greater ward at lvl 6, and max your Q first, after it max W.
4	Tryndamere	Face him at all times so he cant slow you. Slow him before he spins so he has a hard time getting away and save your q for when he spins to catch up/knockup play safe but aggressive. first max E, after it max Q.
4	Vi	She use Q- use your Q and jump back. when she ults - just play defensive until its over.
4	Poppy	Stay away from walls and save your q till after she charges, as she can knock you out of fly.
5	Lee Sin	play safe. if he good shooter, you will down.
5	Shyvana	She has no CC before level 6. play safe with your E. don't fight her face vs face before you really ahead.
6	Ryze	his fast cooldowns will chase you. but winnable with some early ganks. first max E. after max your Q.
6	Fizz	Try to avoid if new to Aatrox. first max E, after max W. avoid his R with your Q, avoid his E.
6	Gnar	Gnar, my favourite champ. Gnar had tons of damage, in ad AND in tanky build. avoid from walls, if he will R you to wall you will got extra damage. small is lower dmg and tanky but can easier get out, not as top. at top mode, he had bonus ad + more CC + more hp but low movement speed and lower attack speed. kill him when he is big.
7	Riven	Hard to you but hard to her. she very strong against you, but its very hard to control riven. if you see a beginner with riven, play aggressive. first max your E, after your W.
7	Darius	requires concentration, but winnable if you wear him out. first max E, after max Q.
7	Irelia	Your cc is less effective and she does a lot of damage. Hate her. build - first E, after W.
9	Renekton	Very hard. avoid. play with ganks. first off max W and after max your E.
9	Pantheon	very hard. avoid. try to get out his E. when his E and Q on cooldown, try to deals the max dmg to him.
9	Vayne	A real killer in this matchup, from my experience. she can easy poke your skills, but you cant her. avoid. ask team to get a gank. first max E, after it max W.
10	Nasus	Everything in his kit controls you. you need a jungler to ganks.
10	Olaf	One of the hardest against you. I think you luckyless, you got olaf! I think the best way to start with cloth and 5 pots. avoid fast! don't let him kills you. max first W, after it max E.

Introduction

Hey :) My name in league is Pr0fessor0fcreed, I am level 28 but it is my 2nd account, I was diamond in the first. if you want to see me, Serech my name in EUNE.
So, I make this build for the new aatrox players. really hope its helps you guys.
I Update the build every day, don't forget to connect every day.
and help us with a good rate :)

Summoner Spells

As usual for many top laners, Flash and Ignite make the best summoner spells. Flash has many offensive and defensive uses, while Ignite will add some extra damage when you go in for the kill. if you bronze gold and etc, maybe Teleport will being a better way.

you may consider taking Ghost over Flash. Aatrox is by nature an Autoattacker, so this spell may help you to get the enemies. he is also useful if someone near you and you cant recall but you can run to lane. but, ghost is not the safest choose.

the last choose is Exhaust. I think that's amazing with ignite. you didn't need flash to run! your E slows. Exhaust can really being so useful at teamfights. for axample, if the enemy ADC had tons of kills and he is can even 3v5 your team and win, just exhaust him! it will give you few seconds to end him. its always can help you to get a kill.

Masteries

I think the best way to build aatrox's masteries is

21/9/0. why?

the answer: aatrox is not a tank, and his skills cost % hp. for axample, his E takes 10% from your currect health. so, if you had 5000 hp its will takes 250. and your Q will takes 500. but, its takes your CURRECT health. its means, if you had 100, its will takes 10.
so, aatrox tanky is not the best. but, you still can build a lot of armor and magic resist if you love tanks!

second masteries:
9/21/0
This not the best way as I told you before, but if you fight vs ADC or APC its a good idea.

third masteries:

0/14/16
oh... that's the masteries of support or duo top. if you play duo top this still can work.

Skills

first off - your passive.

This named by the name blood well. but, I love to called it free guard angel. your choise.
what this do? when you dead, if the blood well is not on cooldown, you will back to life after few seconds. this boost can really help you kill the enemy or let your team helps you.
but, as the guardian angel, remember the cooldown!

And now - your Q.

your q- aatrox dashes into the AoE target, deals damage and knocked up all who was in the AoE. Can help you also run, Just place it near your turret. most times its faster than to

Farming

The best way get ahead in top its farming. farm with your E, farm with W but don't farm with Q. most times, if you reach level 6 before your enemy- you win the lane.

tip: when you click on minions, you see on bar how much left hp they have. if your attack has more points them hers hp - hit!

I think, most minions really can help you. in normal game I got 120. you can got even more.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
Turret buster A pretty good amount of cc
Tons of AoE damage
Very good wave clearing
Very Good at defending
Easy start in jungle and very fast camp clearing

Cons:
Hard CC can destroy you
Damage over time effects can hurt as well
E and Q very hard to new players
Hard to learn how to W toggle effectively
