Aatrox·Jungle Counters

If Aatrox ganks your lane, try to keep the minion wave between you and him for as long as possible. This will make it harder for him to land his W. If you have a dash, wait for him to throw out his Wbefore casting your dash tool to escape the range.

Aatrox’s Q and E have long cooldowns. When invading him early, try and hide in bushes and wait for him to use these abilities on the camp before looking to fight him.

Aatrox will be looking to gank a lot in the early game. Keep this in mind and expect him to be all over the map.

In team fights, as soon as Aatrox runs in, try to CC him and burst him down first. He is pretty vulnerable to CC and if you can kill him before he gets his combo off, the enemy will lose out on a lot of damage.

Try to look for fights when Aatrox doesn’t have his Ultimate or Flash. He will have a much harder time at impacting fights when either of these are on cooldown.

Aatrox likes to split push after the laning phase has ended. When he shows in a side lane alone, you could try and start a team fight with his teammates. Have wards on that side of the map though just in case he makes his way to join the fight.

He is strong once he unlocks his Ultimate R. The extra ganking potential and the movement speed plus other stats from his Ultimate are really beneficial when it comes to trading.

Aatrox spikes when he gets his first item (as well as both component items). Respect his all in potential when he’s completed the recipe as his damage output will heavily increase.

Aatrox is strong no matter what if you cannot dodge all instances of his Q. Practice makes perfect, but do try and dodge them whenever you’re able to.
