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

This is a medium difficulty lane that pivots entirely on Level 1 and Level 2 priority. Crucially, don't leash. You must fight Aatrox hard early to gain the Level 2 advantage. The most critical mechanic is spacing his Q's to prevent him from hitting the "sweet spot" (the outer edge) which deals maximum damage and applies a knockup. You can try to dodge the Q entirely, or click directly into him for the first two Qs, using your Spin (E) to dodge the third Q, which often deals the most damage. Ignite is a solid summoner here because it gives you a small buffer if you slightly mistime dodging his Qs during an all-in. Aatrox has powerful healing, but generally, you should prioritize rushing Ravenous Hydra for sustained power before considering Executioner's Calling. If he pops his Ultimate (R) and you can't secure the kill immediately, start running away; if he chases, look for a re-engage window as his R expires, guaranteeing a favorable all-in.

Jax	Easy	178	48%	+387	+639	Jax is a hard matchup, partly due to his Counterstrike (E). The strategy is to bait his E with a single auto, immediately stop attacking, and use your Spin (E) to damage him as you get away. This applies significant pressure while forcing his long E cooldown. Look to hit Level 6 before him to set up a dive, but always try to burn his E before fully committing. If he builds Frozen Heart later, you are generally in trouble and should focus on shoving and rotating.

Sion	Easy	178	54%	+514	+1,572	Sion is an easy matchup that favors extended trades. Save your Spin (E) to get out of his fully charged Q knockup. Immediately run away after killing him to avoid his passive form damage. Post-6, ensure you position between him and his escape path so he cannot Ultimate (R) away from your all-in.

Garen	Easy	170	55%	+1,031	+1,864	Garen is an easy matchup because Tryndamere dominates extended trades. Don't use your W (Mocking Shout) until after Garen has used his Q (Decisive Strike), as Q cleanses the slow. The slow from W is also crucial as it stops his passive healing. Post-6, be mindful of his execute Ultimate (R), but remember it has a very long cast animation, giving you a reaction window to press your R. If he builds tanky, shove him in and outrotate him.

KSante	Easy	147	59%	+209	+1,812	This is a medium matchup where you need to focus on extended trades. You must meticulously dodge his Q spam by walking just inside the range and stepping out quickly to bait it. Only take extended trades; short trades favor K'Sante. Post-6, you must have Ghost up to chase him through his high mobility after he uses his R, or he can kite you hard. If he takes Flash, be aware he can win the 1v1 by Flash 3Q in R form.

Fiora	Easy	137	55%	+703	+1,330	Fiora is a notoriously hard matchup. The single most important ability to track is her W (Riposte), which has a huge 24-second cooldown at Level 1. Never commit your Spin (E) onto her while W is up; instead, look to force trades immediately after she uses it or misses it. In the 1v1, constantly move between auto attacks to avoid taking easy vital damage. In late-game duels, you can sometimes hug a wall during her R to prevent her from proccing all four vitals, denying her the massive heal. If you fall behind, shove the wave and rotate to flank the enemy team.
