How to play it

Respect his Q
Aatrox's Q is his main damage: it's what lets him all-in you, so don't fight into it and hold for when it's down.
Punish his long Q CD
His Q cooldown is very long early and his sustain is weak: punish him when he throws Q on the wave.
Combo to punish
When he Qs the wave, go E-Q (grass or ice) then W-Q (rock or grass) to close the gap and burst him.
Never engage while his Q is up: wait for him to use it on the wave, then punish.
