How to play it

Respect his W pull
His W pullback plus his Q+E let him space you out; pre-4 your speed is too low to close, so just slow-farm and don't chase into it.
Punish his step-up
If he walks into melee range with your abilities up, don't hesitate: go for the full combo and you hard-win the trade.
Cheater recall
Slow-push waves 1-2, crash wave 3, then recall for Boots: the lane gets much better once you hit rank 2-3 Q and can catch him.
Never try to chase Aatrox on a rank 1 Q: the speed is never enough to catch him or escape his combo, so just farm to 4.
