| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Aatrox | Aatrox has range and Q healing at level 1 while you have no mobility, so he controls it. |
| Level 2 | Aatrox | Level 2 still favours Aatrox — his Q edge damage out-trades your unmobile poke. |
| Level 3 | Aatrox | At 3 his full Q1-Q2-Q3 chain plus healing beats your trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aatrox | Levels 4-5 Aatrox's sustained Q damage and heal keep him ahead in every extended fight. |
| Level 6 | Aatrox | Aatrox's World Ender all-in and revive dominate the level-6 window. |
| First item | Yasuo | With your first crit item your Q crits and Wind Wall out-DPS his Deathbringer healing. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Late, Skirmisher Yasuo kites his Q and walls his damage to win the duel. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Aatrox — he has range and healing on his Q while you have zero mobility until E at 3. Farm from max range with Steel Tempest and do not walk into his Q sweet-spot; hold Wind Wall for his engage, not a random swing.
