I think you miss a good opportunity of outplay potential by not taking Flash. Like Shen,gragas and trynd, Aatrox can use his E/ult and flash foward to overlap the animation, taking your enemy by supprise and finish him with ignite(does not work with Q, dont bother trying.)Usally, the enemy top laner doesn't have the time to react and simply dies without flashing or flash and get kill by ignite.

I run ignite/flash to simply kill the other laner and force his tp down, and ignite is a great tool to 1v2 if you get ganked by the jungler (if you manage to snowball.) I recommend that you target the jungler 1st mainly beacuse they are less tanky than the top laner, otherwise kill top if he's half hp.

For the build, I recommend not getting bortk 1st item. I always feel like this item was a noob bait on Aatrox. Your Q/W/E scales with AD and not atk speed. Your passif gives you atk speed and your Ult alse does, getting blade for the life steal and atk speed is pretty much pointless. Hydra is a must in my opinion, wave clear,large amount of AD, 12% life steal and the proc is pretty nice for bursting a target. You can still go Titanic, its good agains Riven and yasuo but you'll lack life steal.

If you are not confident in a certain match-up agains a top laner, dont take ignite. Go for tp flash, go to lane, push 2 waves with Blood Price, back and get yourself cloth plus 2 pots(agains AD matchups) and tp back to lane, You'll have 1 doran, 1 cloth and 3 pots. Agains AP match-up I always get ignite.

For the build path, I always go full dps with crits in lower elo (hydra,bt,pd,ie,trinity.) The oneshot build.

For higher elo, I go bruiser like build (hydra,dead's man,visage,maw,thornmail.)

If I fall behind or get stump, i go blade then full tank.

I always loved Aatrox, but nowadays I just feel like this champ was designed for failure and has a pretty underwhelming Kit. Would be nice to have a lil tuning in his Kit.
