What are some tips for the Mordekaiser vs. Aatrox matchup?

Playing safer until Oblivion Orb, maybe Rylai's too, is often smart. After those items, look to fight Aatrox more. He's very immobile, so he can line up his Q hits easily. When he uses Q without E, he can't change directions, meaning you can also line up your Q or E. You can fight Aatrox well at 6. Generally, he'll Q+E forward to hit you, then chain with W. Wait for his second Q, cast your E pull for a guaranteed hit, then R him. His W gets removed, and you can chase for a kill, especially with Ignite. He might R to distance himself. Stay on him and beat him down in melee. Rylai's is a HUGE powerspike. Once you get it, he can't get away unless he E's over a wall. Dodging his Qs is KEY to winning the 1v1. Rylai's makes it way easier with the slow plus Approach Velocity speed. Later, you can still win, but Maw makes it tougher with the shield. Bloodletter's can be a second or third item if he builds Maw. If he buys a lot of health like Sundered Sky into Spear of Shojin, Liandry's burn helps a lot. Ideally, R him only AFTER he uses his R to steal maximum AD value. Even with his R active, Rylai's slow plus Approach speed lets you chase. Serpent's Fang is the only real way he wins the 1v1 hyper late.

Garen	Favored	629	50%	+404	-267	Easy matchup. Q poke him and try to take extended trades. You want to 100-0 him in your ult. Rylai's Crystal Scepter really shuts him down if he is not running phase rush.

Aatrox	Hard	538	51%	-196	-295	Playing safer until Oblivion Orb, maybe Rylai's too, is often smart. After those items, look to fight Aatrox more. He's very immobile, so he can line up his Q hits easily.

Darius	Very Hard	534	45%	-398	-1,151	Don't let him get brush control Lvl 1. Get to the middle brush and wait. As he enters, throw a Q to chunk him.

Renekton	Even	503	51%	+18	+90	Spacing is CRUCIAL here. Overcommitting usually means losing. Even if Renekton's empowered W breaks your shield, this matchup is a skill check.

Malphite	Easy	491	52%	+873	+1,952	This is an easy matchup. He is a tank that builds armor, and you deal magic damage. Poke him down and look for all-ins.

Shen	Easy	484	52%	+691	+1,500	Being as impactful as Shen on the map is tough. His R lets him impact anything from Lvl 6. ALWAYS PING your team to respect his R and keep him HARD PUSHED so he can't R without losing plates/farm. If he has Teleport instead of Ignite, his lane pressure is lower, and you can freeze for a solo kill with R up. Once you get Rylai's, with R up and wave on your side, you can R him from max range for a kill or force his Flash. You can cancel his R, but don't always; see if it's needed or if you can just take plates/push. Later, he won't match you side, so force him to.
