Aatrox vs Zac Matchup Summary

Farming
2.4Aatrox
2.3Zac
Aatrox and Zac farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
1,018Aatrox
738Zac
Aatrox heavily out-damages Zac by 281 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Zac should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Aatrox's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,809Aatrox
12,635Zac
Aatrox and Zac generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 174 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
0.9Aatrox
1.8Zac
Zac brings significantly more crowd control than Aatrox, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Zac far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,821Aatrox
3,439Zac
Zac vastly out-sustains Aatrox, healing and mitigating 1,617 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zac can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Aatrox is forced to recall.
