How to play as Aatrox
Hold Umbral Dash(E) until Jayce spends Thundering Blow(E); a well-spaced Jayce can use ranged poke and self-peel to deny your full Q rotation.
Use ranged poke and short trades, then disengage with Thundering Blow(E); a clean Conqueror all-in is strongest before levels 7-8.
Jayce's Thundering Blow(E) knocks Aatrox back, while his ranged form and movement speed let him poke and disengage from Aatrox's Q approach.
