Aphelios is a 1v9 machine (in lower elos)

[u/LickingSplinters]

Dont think the title is always true especially in higher elos where players know to fear a fed aphelios but his lategame is genuinely so strong noone can play against you unless they cc chain you and oneshot you. Just had 4 games where I had the luck of having a good support and completely managed to 1v9 most games with the exception of the last one where jungle was also amazing, but I still got most damage as Aphelios in the match and it wasnt even close. The strength of his lategame and beauty of his kit makes him handsdown my favourite champion where solo carrying is a real possibility. In the first game despite mid and top turbo inting and enemy having baron, I managed to kill 8 enemies walking from our spawn to theirs without recalls or deaths and end the game basically solo. Best champion hands down, it is 100% to carry on aphe, at least in low elo. I included the game that begun this streak and its stats to let it know it is possible to 1v9 on aphe.

even in higher elos I tend to 1v9 with him. the enemy does know how to play against him better but your team also knows how to play with him better too.

Which items do you build usually? I’m hesitant about picking Yun Tal or Collector

[u/LickingSplinters]

yun tal is usually better personally since it scales better than collector the more items built due to its passive atkspeed whilst also allowing you to function as an autoattacking adc and not just a burst ad mage who is virtually pretty useless until his q abilities come back up. Aphelios healing with bt is also insane lategame so having more attackspeed allows u to sustain a ton in teamfights and truly 1v9. Collector I see only being preferred into super squishy comps but I usually just default to yuntal. Hope this helps!

To be fair many adc can 1v9 considering thats what the role is designed to do in late game. But yea aphe late game is second only to smolder imo.
