Attention! Seeking wisdom from Aatrox players

I recently picked up aatrox bc I got his bloodmoon skin (that sexy beast ;>] ) out of rerolls, and I really like the champ.. but it doesnt matter how fed I get or how i play, I cant carry my team or really like be effective in teamfights later on if they have something like trynd or big chogath.. What are your tips/tricks/rules for playing aatrox? can you break down what im suppose to do? ( watched a video saying i should try getting off my passive as much as I can during trades to keep trading, I thought it was just every 18 seconds, is there a way to refresh it or ?) Also can I have some insight on the basic, if they have any grevious wounds champs / items, basically aatrox is useless. ? Just looking to pick up the champ as my main top pick (even tho hes banned alot, pretty sure he just got a nerf?...) He's very fun to play, very flashy and very satisfying to see the big numbers come out as I Q people. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] ALSO does anybody know if we will be having 3 more events? (I have 25 prestige tokens from the project pass, I want the prestige skin ;) )
