A very good Irelia can easily destroy you in lane but this is very rare in low-mid elos. Most Irelia players are not good enough to pull her off to her full potential. As with any matchup that has a lot of healing in lane, you are going to want to rush Bramble Vest to reduce his healing then later upgrade into Thornmail (2nd or 3rd item). If he is able to cancel your Q, it's not a huge deal because your Q goes to a 2-second cooldown when interrupted and most people do not know that. If the Aatrox is good though, he will probably manage his cooldowns better, giving you fewer options.


You can use this to your advantage by waiting for him to use his Q and W, then fight him. Aatrox is a very cooldown dependent champion and from my experience, most Aatrox players spam their abilities on cooldown pretty much. To avoid his W, try to stand behind minions, it is hard to dodge if you are out in the open (similar to something like Illaoi E). His Q can be really annoying and his W is hard to avoid as Sion because you have very little mobility. His passive is really strong against you (doing max health bonus damage on his first auto attack). "But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.Aatrox is one of those matchups that is heavily reliant on skill and how strong Aatrox is in the meta. "For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them. "So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices. "They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof.

"Then they will call on me, but I will not answer They will seek me diligently but they will not find me, Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD. "Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof I will also laugh at your calamity I will mock when your dread comes, When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. "Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you I will make my words known to you. Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square At the head of the noisy streets she cries out At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: "How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge? read more.
