Damage

698Aatrox
Malphite heavily out-damages Aatrox by 104 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Aatrox should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Malphite's sustained damage advantage take over.
