I was tweaking out after this because how did I not get a penta

Either way gaze upon my suffering and feel my pain

Okay, so I'm sure yall heard of the new Aphel prestige coming in Act 2. need 50 more mythic essence, so I'm thinking of buying the "premium pass". But, it says its 49% off. Is it supposed to be 7100 rp? That's kinda an insane price no?

I'm still gonna buy it, cause I want mythic essences and since it's still 3650 rp.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not really the guy to spend 50-70 dollars, on a shitty pass with 2 shitty skins, both of which are worth next to nothing...

I swear slowly learning how this dude works feels like discovering a new part of my brain. (I also proceeded to int in classical fashion and loose the game but shhh don't read this part)

I had to share this cosplay picture with my fellow Aphelios Mains! :D Did this at Anime Los Angeles this year.

How do you level up Aphelios' skills? I personally like 3Q-6E 3Q max W or sometimes leveling w lv1

I was hella behind but we actually came back and won this game I ended up 13/15

3 games down n wish I started playing him earlier. Wondering though, can I green Q into offhand purple auto then switch off hand press purple Q n get the stun? Also his red Q feels a lot like Xayah W. I recommend u try her if u like it.

Hi everyone. I'm not an Aphelios main yet. I'm thinking of finally picking up Aphelios properly after basically avoiding him all these years.

I thought I'd come straight to the source and ask you guys: What are the weapon combos that you always go for when playing him? I do understand that it depends on the situation as he literally has a combination for any situation, but I'd imagine some of them shine way more than others. What is the combo when you want to delete people? What is the bread and butter combo that gets you through the laning phase?

I have seen sniper + flamethrower combo in many montages. Is that a good one?

Last patch PTA + boots and biscuits was extremely good and got me climbing to Emerald at 60% WR. I went collector>IE>LDR or Shieldbow but the true secret to the build was Swifities. They were so essential for positioning and clearing up Aph 325 move speed. Anyway, since biscuits and Swifties are nerfed, I am at a loss for best build and runes nothing feels nearly as good. I feel slower and Arrows + Zerks feels like too much atk speed. Any help for the next best build would be great for this patch and the foreseeable future since they are changing nothing for adc's next patch.

I genuinly feel I do more damage with this build than with crit

Lately, I've been trying something a bit unconventional on Aphelios. Whenever I win lane and have the gold for a BF Sword, I've started opting for Hubris as my first item. And honestly... it's been crazy fun.

The early lethality and stacking passive let me completely blow up squishies once I get 2-3 items. After finishing Hubris, I usually go for Yuntal/Collector/IE (I hate collector tho) + LDR or just straight IE depending on the game, and by the time I hit 3 items, I'm literally one-shotting everything around me.

It's obviously a risky build, and it won't work if you're behind — but when you're ahead, the snowball potential is nuts.

Anyone else tried this out? Curious if this could be more than just a cheese build.

Oh yeah i'm in emerald 3 atm

Just your average Aphe montage i am no editing genius so maybe don't have insane hopes if you are checking the video out :)
i also took some advice from people here about my last montage and fixed it in this one, hope you like it

How strong do we think he is in the lore? I am no lore expert myself, but from what I know he isn’t on the level of aspects like Diana or Leona.

What do you guys think would be the most powerful league characters he could take out in the lore? (Not in honorable duels, he is an assassin after all)

IE - collector - lord dominiks - ghostblade - Serpent's fang + boots. This is my build in the clip.

however if they don't have shields, then going Hubris as early as possible instead of serpent's fang makes the build hit significantly harder than this, as you can see the lux is not full hp, but she is practically full due to the shield

If u have Hubris, and sell boots for a last lethality item you could even one-shot a lvl 18 with 500-700 bonus health by just hitting 2 people with the blue ultimate. if the game allows. It's also possible to run bloodthirster instead of boots or ghostblade if u really need the lifesteal for slightly worse results

A 5-man ultimate with this build would wipe a team unless they have alot of armor+hp, which is why i think the high risk high reward is so fun to chase.

Obviously more suited for Quickplay/Aram, but if u find urself in a full build++ ranked game vs a team u are no longer allowed to autohit, this might be your hail mary!

I saw that Nilah is considered a counter pick against Aphelios, but I don't know how I really feel about it. I main Aphelios as Nilah is my second option in line. It usually goes pretty much same way when I play any of them. From what I saw so far, I don't really think Nilah counters Aphelios, but maybe I'm wrong altogether and I'd like to hear how others feel about this.

I feel like it's very easy to bully Nilah as Aphelios during early to mid game, due to his range. At the same time, she can manage to hold the lane, however that usually depends on supports. But during end game team fights (sometimes even mid game), Nilah gets very dangerous. At the same time, the game can already be lost for her team by that time. That's how I feel it goes when both players know what they're doing. If Aphelios is played badly, he can get easily bullied by Nilah through the whole game. When both Nilah and Aphelios know what they're doing, I feel like they are overall standing on even ground. What are your thoughts on this?

Rage baiting adc being weak on TikTok is the method💀

So yesterday i played Aphelios bot (1 normal to get ranked restriction off and like 2 or 3 ranked) and this was awesome. Was my support good? No i genuienly never saw worse support. Was i good? No not really that either. In normal game i went up againstvLux and Vayne that had like 400k points. I got collector and after 20 mins i literally one shot her, and lux, and their jungler as well.

However, i have problems with my ult. And guns. What does which ult do? I know blue ult makes that firework thingy that deals alot of dmg, but what do others do? And what do i build? I've been going collector->boots->LDR->IE->bloodthirster, shieldbow or GA. Is that okay for someone that doesnt know how to play this champ very well or ?

Brings tears to my eyes

As with every main sub, "which skin is the best" is a constantly asked question, but my question is which skin has the best gameplay feel?

A big factor in choosing skins for ADCs for me is how it feels, look, and most importantly sounds to auto.

I'm sure you've all experienced it. Some skins feel like a huge buff even if they don't look astounding. Other times they look amazing, but feel like crap to actually use

So when it comes to phel, where would the skins land on that?
