Aatrox Counters

Every matchup on this page, both the champions Aatrox struggles against and the ones it dominates, comes from live ranked Top lane data. Right now Malzahar, Ivern and Bel’Veth are the lane foes that hurt Aatrox most, with its lowest win rates in the current sample. Malzahar is the hardest counter of the bunch: Aatrox takes only 39.8% of 176 logged games against it. In contrast, Amumu, Volibear and Ambessa are matchups where Aatrox does well, so they are the safer ones to draft into.

Each card lists Aatrox’s win rate along with how many games that figure rests on. A pairing with tens of thousands of games carries much more weight than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even and Hard tags are derived from the win rate itself, with anything under 48% marked Hard and anything over 52% marked Easy. They exist to make scanning quicker and are not a separate statistic. The underlying numbers come from ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, on patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours, so the picture shifts as the meta does. A counter list only tells part of the story, so pair it with the current Aatrox build for the best items and runes, or open the Aatrox champion page for its abilities and full details.
