Just wanted to let you know there is a challenger aatrox main that does the aftershock rune. His name is TheKoreanKappa(NA). His build is different from Double Slap. He goes tiamat first item and cleaver second.

He explains his choice in this subreddit's post, https://www.reddit.com/r/AatroxMains/comments/9fn0f1/challenger_best_aatrox_na_stream/

You should just check out his stream for the detailed bits

I think aftershock is a really underrated rune..best defensive( Grasp is just trolling.) keystone imo. It scales off of your bonus ad and health which you will be building anyways as aatrox. And as TheKoreanKappa said, it lets you outduel most matchups. The tankyness you get and AOE dmg just makes you a much better duelist. What Aatrox has trouble with,imo, is that when champs get in his face. Perfect rune for a lot of his losing match ups like kled,jax,camille, etc.
