How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q chain

Dodge Q1, dash around the Q2 sweet spot, and kite Q3 with your Q dashes: save a spell for that third Q.

✓

Punish his E

His E is the key CD to track: when he wastes it forward or throws Q3 early, E in for a short combo.

✓

Poke bait

Many Aatrox poke with Q1 into E: predict it, sidestep or Q backwards, then punish him.

✕

Never let him cancel your dashes: W into him predictively or Faker-fast, or take a Q hit and dash out of his W instead.
