Why does Faker ban Aatrox?

Faker often bans Aatrox in solo queue not because Aatrox is unbeatable, but as a simple, consistent action to fulfill the ban requirement, frequently targeting the first champion (Aatrox) on the list when he doesn't have a specific strategic ban in mind, showing his frustration with the general state of ranked rather than the champion's power.
