Which champion is the best to stomp Aatrox and let me know his weakness. I can lane against all but Aatrox and I struggle against this champ. I did try him out. Tho even dodging all his q doesn't help me. Any tips ?

Typically, duelists do extremely well into Aatrox such as Jax Irelia Fiora and even the likes of Darius (Ghost + Phase Rush Variant) Urgot. Tanks such as Chogath Ornn and Sion also HEAVILY outscale Aatrox after like 2 items.

Here are some points you might to remember when facing Aatrox:

  1. Aatrox has a strong early game but he can be abused at certain levels. Level 1, he's 100% guaranteed to take Q and he'll have no mobility so once he throws those Q's down he's locking himself into his animation.
  2. He's also really easy to gank early, especially because he only starts with 1 charge on his dash. That dash has a ridiculously long cooldown so if he wastes it to do a Q poke, you can kill him right there.
  3. When laning against him put pressure on him but DO NOT take his Q pokes for free. If he pokes you and you can hard engage after he has no damage left, he's forced to either burn flash or die. Try to manipulate the wave so he has to move towards you far from his tower to take CS and if you're playing any of the aforementioned champions, you can punish him super hard.
  4. Most Aatrox players don't take precision so his attack speed fucking SUCKS. He also only has 60 base AD level 1 so if you force him to wastes Q's on the wave, he can really mess up his ability to last hit.
  5. Don't take trades when he has his passive proc up, you'll know when he has it up when he walks around with the sword up in the air with two hands.

That's all I can think of on the top of my head for now, hope this helps you out buddy.

Urgot is a good matchup. You can farm and harrass from distance when aatrox wants to Q1 you for poke you can negate the damage with W or when he wants to all in with Q2 or Q3 you can E into him into W and chunk him low you also scale better defensive wise as him and should have better teamfight pressence

Illaoi is for me a good Pick but this matchup is about who is better on their pick and knows what the other can do with his pick. With Q max you have a good wave clear and poke Her passive gives you healing when a tentakel hits (Q and W) and her E (max 2 nd) is a good tool to harrass.

Illaoi is also great when the enemie jungler wants to gank you can tourn the gank in a double kill with the ult when they hardcommit on you

I also think Jax,Irelia andFiora can also work against him but these matchups are even more about skill than the 2 above. ( I never played those three in this matchup so i cant really give you tipps(

You can also try your luck with Quinnand Jayce and shut him down from distance or maybe with Ryze, Heimerdinger and Lissandra when your team lacks magic dammage

Take Akali to the toplane, wait for him to use his Q's on minions, you have high mobility from your E dashes. once his Q goes on cooldown dash back in w/ E and dominate him. for the second q since it covers most of your shroud, just dodge behind him and whack him.

Honestly, you just gotta pick up Attrox and learn his new kit.

Once you know his Q hitboxes by heart, and are expecting his small leaps, and dodge accordingly, he is manageable.

If you are oblivious to his play patterns, it can SEEM like he is 100% broken.

Just my 2 cents, as someone who played new Aatrox a lot.

I mean have I lost lane to him a few times? Yes

But I don't particularly fear him.
