Aatrox vs Ornn in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: his E is his gank-setup engage — sidestep the dash before he pins you. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it
DO
Sidestep his E
Ornn opens his gank setup with his E dash — sidestep it so he can't pin you for the jungler.
Full combo him
Ornn's W no longer makes him unstoppable — you can land your full combo through it and he can't cancel your all-in.
Poke him down
Ornn can't kill you in a straight 1v1 — play it like the Malphite lane: farm safely and poke him down.
DON'T
Never overextend into his gank setup — Ornn can't kill you 1v1, but his CC hands you straight to the jungler.
