The Illaoi vs Aatrox matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 40 recent matches analyzed, Aatrox wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Illaoi's 40.0%, giving Aatrox a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Aatrox dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
