I think I'm starting to understand the play pattern of this mini-rework

What I've tried to do that had the most success in the laning phase is I max E then W, followed by Q. I whittle the enemy laner down with E and then I toggle my W to Blood Price and then I land my Q on them. Most of the time my passive is full after doing that so the enemy laner will have a hard time fighting me becuase of my increased stats.

I usually buy a Tiamat for early clear and the cleave for additional damage, then I buy my components leading to a BotRK. After those two items, I buy Berserker's Greaves then I just buy whatever is needed. Usually, I go for tanky items like SV or Randuins. Maybe even a TBC for additional damage.

My masteries are 18/0/12. I tried to take the new reworked Warlord's Bloodlust and I think it makes Aatrox even harder to kill in the late game because of the additional lifesteal. I take the additional healing on the Resolve tree to further compliment my healing.
