Aatrox Mid - General Playstyle:
Aatrox is a champion that excels in extended trades due to his Q ability and Conqueror rune.
Use Q to poke and zone enemies.
E can be used to reposition for Q or to dodge skill shots.
W can be used to pull enemies back, setting them up for a full Q combo.
R should be used during all-ins or teamfights to maximize damage and survivability.
Aatrox - Advice on Farming:
Use Q to last-hit minions from a distance.
Practice timing to ensure you can hit all three Qs on the minion wave.
Use E to reposition and ensure you hit minions with the edge of your Q for maximum damage.
Aatrox mid - Laning Phase:
Poke and zone the enemy with Q.
Look for extended trades when Conqueror is stacked.
Be wary of jungle ganks, especially if you push the wave.

Peel for your carries if needed.
Aatrox mid - Teamfights:
Engage with R and try to hit as many enemies with Q.

Good Matchup:
