Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AatroxAatrox's Darkin Blade Q sweetspot knockup freezes your run at level 1 — farm at poison range, never walk in a straight line toward him, and accept a small CS deficit over eating a free knockup combo.
Level 2AatroxFling comes online but Aatrox's passive healing means a straight trade still leans his way unless you land the toss into your own wave — play the threat of Fling more than the ability itself.
Level 3SingedMega Adhesive root into Fling is your first real punish: plant the goo in his walking path, root him as he tries to leave, toss him deeper into the poison cloud — he takes massive attrition and has no dash out.
Levels 4-5SingedProxy behind his tower or force him to chase you into poison; Aatrox has no wave-clear tool that lets him farm AND chase, so either outcome accelerates your gold lead.
Level 6Even / skillInsanity Potion's stat dump matches or exceeds Aatrox's World Ender R combat bonus — pop it immediately when he activates his ult, keep running, and the armor plus regen means his passive cannot outpace your poison output.
First itemSingedRylai's Crystal Scepter makes Poison Trail permanently slow Aatrox — he can never reach the Q3 sweetspot on a moving target, so his entire burst pattern is neutered and Fling into goo becomes an execution.
Two+ itemsSingedAt full build Singed out-proxies and out-attritions Aatrox in every side-lane scenario; Aatrox is a teamfight tool without a real 1v1 answer to an uncatchable Singed running full tank-AP with Rylai's active.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is Aatrox's only real window — his Darkin Blade Q sweetspot covers surprising range and a knockup stops your run dead, so do not walk directly at him; farm near max Poison Trail range and let him push. At level 2 Fling arrives and you can threaten to toss him into your own minion wave on any overcommit, but his passive healing means one trade still favors him if he catches the knockup. Level 3 is your first decisive moment: drop Mega Adhesive in his path as he steps up for a Q cast, root him when he tries to walk out, and Fling him backward so he spends every remaining second in the poison cloud — the root-fling combo costs him roughly a third of his health bar and he has no dash to escape it.
