Ideal Synergies

Camille

Major

D-blade/Boneplating setup, In this matchup you should always rush damage first, try to dodge her W so she can't proc your boneplating, and try to poke her with Q if she tries to cs. try to always save your W so when she has no E, thats your window with enough points on Q you can legit one shot her, just don't hug walls alot since she can insta E stun you, in fights after 6, I usually dont Q3 since she can ult ur 3rd Q, so ur best bet is just auto attack and kite. The only problem is ,that she outscales you after one item and you really can't fight her after that except if you are ahead of her.
Summs: Ignite(kill-pressure/risky), Teleport (Safer/sidelane)

Cassiopeia

Even

Dshield/Second Wind setup, she can be easier in midlane since it's a shorter lane, its abit harder toplane since she can run you down easier, but the matchup stays the same. You dodge her Q, try to bait her so she uses her w and when she doesn't have it you can kill her easily, in lvl 6, it can be tricky, just be careful and don't underestimate her damage output. Force of nature/maw is super effective against her.

Cho'Gath

Tiny

Starting Item doesn't matter really (dshield is good vs his poke) just don't forget Second wind. Cho'gath is a very immobile champ, so hitting him with your combos isn't difficult, he can be very tanky in late game, just dont get hit by all his abilities and you should be bing chilling.

Darius

Even

Dshield/Bone plating is a must here. Darius is a very interesting matchup because you always have to be in the correct position against him, since if you miss position just a little you can be punished very hard. If you E Q too far in the lane he can pop ghost and run you down and kill you. try to Q him from max range and don't get hit by his E and you should be able to win this matchup. Tier 2 armor boots are really good here. Anti heal is a good option too, just don't buy bramble its so gold unefficient.
Summs: Ignite(kill-pressure/risky), Teleport (Safer/sidelane)

Dr. Mundo

Tiny

D-shield/second wind. One the easiest match ups for Aatrox in my opinion. Aatrox is really good into him because he completely counter Mundo's passive with Q since, when Mundo loses his passive, he loses some %hp as well. Just dodge his Q and poke him and you should win lane every time. All in if you Chain him and his passive is down . Anti heal is super good into him as well.
Summs:Always Teleport

Fiora

Major

D-Shield/Bone Plating. Ah, the classic Aatrox counter, or what I used to think. This matchup used to be extremely hard. But, It gotten a bit easier. In this matchup you have to outsmart the Fiora. try not to get hit by vitals if you can and try to Q her without using your E. If she W, E out of the way immediately so you can dodge the stun. when her W on cooldown at the time. you can harrass her or even kill her. just don't disrespect her damage potential early and should be good. Never use W when she has her W. She outscales us, so be careful on the sidelane.
as much as i have to say it Bramble vest or any form of anti heal and tier 2 boots is highly effective here. Summs: Ignite(kill-pressure/risky), Teleport (Safer/sidelane)

Galio

Tiny

Dblade/Boneplating. Generally Simple, you stat check him unless he is one item ahead or something happened in the game that made him a monster. its very easy to combo him since his E kind of griefs him. just don't underestimate his damage alot and you should be good .Overall just farm and if he goes in you should win. just care since he can easily setup for a gank with his W. early Mercs is very good into him.
Summs : Teleport

Gangplank

Minor

Dshield/second wind. Aatrox favored for sure, but this matchup is highly dependent on the gp. he is either 1V9 or some solarbacca wannabe. gp usually gets push early if he does the barrel start from bush, so keep an eye out for that. try to test the waters abit by ego'ing his barrels, or you can even Q him when he tries to auto the barrel. lvl 1-3 you should not eat too much poke, and try not to fight much since he is stronger with passive and Q. lvl 4 you should be able to trade much more effectively. lvl 6+ you have alot of kill pressure. just make sure to not eat every barrel.
summs: (Teleport)

Garen

Even

Dblade/Boneplating.Aatrox favored i would say, you most likely win lane, but lose side after 2 items. if he has phase rush he becomes very hard to kill so you have to play around its cd. lvl 1 you can zone with Q's fairly easily, just don't let him reach you melee and you gucci. lvl 4 you can start bullying him but he has alot of regen so prepare to land 10+ combos on him since his sustain/tankiness is that high. Garen outscales hard after 2nd item so be careful in the side.
Summs: (Teleport)

Gnar

Even

Dshield/second wind. Generally a boring matchup, you legit just go tabis and you can never kill him unless he eats all ur Q's. don't fight his mega form since he can be opressive at times especially at lvl 6. Best time to fight him is after his mega form runs out and he has no E.
then you can look for a kill, but its still just a farm matchup very boring
Summs: Teleport

Gragas

Minor

Dshield/secondwind (double tenacity is extremly good into him). aatrox favored, he is pretty much an afk matchup. only time you kill him is when he doesn't have phase rush and E. you win early levels just don't disrespect him, and be careful of his bomba combo(R into tower and yeah you know the rest). Mercs and tenacity makes matchup pretty much free so keep that in mind.
summs : Teleport

Gwen

Even

Dblade/boneplating. It's an interesting matchup. normally you see gwen's kit and you would think it counters aatrox, but its not that hard. Just don't fight lvl 1 when she has E. play for bounce at lvl 4, then you can start trading abit, because you are stronger. Try to bait out her 4 stacked Q, so if u were to go for cs make sure to pay attention to her if she is in range of her E Q, or just dodge it to the side so you don't take the true damage (just like sett w). At lvl 6, be careful, she can kill you if you don't dodge all her R's. once you get anti-heal and maw you should win if you dont miss anything.
Summs: (Ignite if you confident/ Tp if you want to play for team/Side)
