While statistically Aatrox is slightly stronger than Poppy in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Aatrox deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Poppy deals mainly physical damage (78.03%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Aatrox is higher farming statistics (ranked 32nd among role champions) (versus 59th for Poppy), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.1 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Aatrox player to maintain constant pressure on Poppy, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
