How to play it

Dodge his W
Stand behind minions so his W (Infernal Chains) can't grab you: if he ever lands Q then W, Flash or run away immediately.
Punish his dash
Whenever he E-dashes forward, wall him with your E and full-combo: he has little mobility to escape once trapped.
Maiden outscales
At 6 your Maiden and ghouls whittle him down: poke him out and take plates rather than fighting in melee, where he runs you over.
Never fight Aatrox on even footing in melee range: he simply runs you over; whittle him down with ghouls instead.

Yorick vs Aatrox in Top lane is a lane that swings with levels on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his W (Infernal Chains) is his kill setup, a landed Q then W means death, so Flash or run the moment it lands.
