How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q3

Hold your E to dodge his Q3 when you're right in his face: it's the cast that lands his damage.

✓

Punish empty Q3

After his Q3 is spent he has no directly offensive abilities left: that's your window to commit.

✓

Walk in on Q1/Q2

Walk toward him to dodge Q1 and Q2, or at least to avoid the sweetspot; sidestep his chain.

✕

Fight Aatrox while his ult is active: the lifesteal heals him through your burst.
