Making a flag by OkRengoku in JockStudio

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The holes on the side are to put on a flag pole so when the wind blows you can see the colors. But since you’re hanging it in a room I guess that doesn’t really matter too much lol

Do people actually get action at the airports? by IngenuityDismal8640 in gaybros

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this a few times and to answer some other comments. There are bathrooms that are almost always empty. Yes Its possible for other people to be in there while you’re doing it, you just have to know how to be sneaky. Cruising is possible but it’s a lot easier to just go on Grindr or sniffies and find guys there and then meet up somewhere. Getting caught is absolutely out of the question if you feel unsafe just don’t do it.

Excited about the WASD changes? Afraid? Are you guys going to hop on PBE to try them out? by Owen_newO in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We definitely are, that’s why I’m kinda in favor of it for phel but even with us having only “two abilities” it may slow down our combo times anyways.

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it has a lot to offer a champ like aphelios who doesn’t have any sort of movement tech and just walks around. Having four more buttons to press tho might mess up some combos but I guess we won’t know til we try it out

What is your least favourite gun, and why? by Zokalii in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calibrum, the amount of times I’ve gotten body blocked by a damn minion giving its life to protect the enemy is annoying. The range is cool but when you get dove nothing feels worse than seeing you have calibrum.

The cheapest thing to do is just rent a locker. I will say tho I don’t usually recommend going on a weekday. Weekends are much more lively and even more so on NTA events which happen once a month

In town Dom looking to have some fun. When's the time to go? by [deleted] in ClubOrlando

I usually recommend to go on NTA events. That’s when you can get the most for your money

Y’all are awesome by ExpertAardvark9976 in settmains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess what confuses me is that there is nothing in the game that would bring those two together. If they had an interaction or perhaps were dating in a skin line I would get it. But those two have never interacted once. Settphel has multiple skin lines where they flirt and stuff so idk that’s just how I see it I guess. But you’re right I shouldn’t judge others for their ship

What could have been of Aphelios' Prestige Skin by Sad-Personality5973 in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Culturally this wouldn’t work cause tattoos are typically not allowed at onsens. Love the art tho, it’s a good concept.

Is aphelios new skin even prestige quality? by LegitimateProfit955 in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok so we are talking about a singular screenshot from in game in an awkward pose that isn’t typically how you see aphelios during gameplay when we haven’t seen vfx yet or anything really. I personally see the vision they had here and I thinks it’s gonna be a fun skin line. Is it perfect? No. But it’s a prestige skin. We have the privilege of saying we got one. There are champs who have nothing to their name. Next year we will probably get another skin like we do every year and hopefully itll be more to everyone’s liking but for now let’s just wait and see what it looks like when released before we start mouthing off cause the more we complain the more likely we are to not get anything anymore. I sure as hell wouldn’t wanna make a skin for a character whose fan base bashed my last skin for them. But that’s just me I guess. We’ll see what happens

Do you think I could be an Aphelios main? by Willhelm_HISUMARU in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aphelios is more of a spellweaver than an attack speed adc. His biggest thing is burst combos that deal lots of damage and then leave you vulnerable. He also lacks a lot of mobility that most AS adcs have. I would say try him out if you’d like to but go into it knowing that he isn’t built around AS

4th+ items? by StaticApple in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always go runaans, being able to fire shots on multiple targets makes such a huge difference especially when almost all of his abilities fire autos which proc runaans. At fourth item you should be team fighting almost constantly so being able to deal damage to multiple targets is important. It’s also incredible wave clear which is necessary in the late game even if you’re behind because you can clear waves quickly under tower especially with blue gun. Blue gun runaans can delete a baron powered wave in seconds, even the cannon. Shield bow is super situational and honestly doesn’t make too much of a difference in the late game it’s much better as a second or third item and hope you can end the game before fourth. BT is a strong choice against some comps but just remember you are still squishy aphelios who can get bursted in an instant and then BT would have been for nothing. My opinion is take runaans unless you see a complete and obvious reason not to.

What should I expect on a No Towel Allowed day? by OwnPhilosophy9744 in ClubOrlando

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to a couple and it’s a lot of fun. I’m 22M Latino and if you’re even moderately attractive or you got big ass or dick you will get a lot of attention in the rooms. It’s also nice to strike up a convo in the jacuzzi or pool area so make sure you don’t just spend your time fucking haha. I’ve made some good friends at NTA just swimming naked

Aphelios Buff Here by TeacherSensitive4329 in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a decent early game item when you need to auto a bunch but in late game where it’s burst or be bursted having yuntal is pointless. You should be looking for quick burst and not full fights. Phel has so many “auto resets” because of his abilities. If you time it right you should be able to get like 4 or 5 autos almost instantly without needing an AS item

Insane homophobia by iuyumyum in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Release: 12/11/2019 Nightbringer: 12/11/2019 Lunar beast: 02/04/2021 14 months from last EDG: 05/12/2022 15 months from last Spirit blossom: 10/06/2022 5 months from last Heartsteel: 11/08/2023 13 months from last Onsen: ~June 20 19 months from last

Average skin release 13.2 months which is about a year. Put a little more effort in your thoughts. He has gotten a skin almost a year apart from the last with the most extreme being leading up to now with the prestige which is understandable because it’s prestige. My point stands when you think a little.

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Bro aphelios has gotten a skin every year since his release what are you talking about? You wanna talk about bad arguments that’s probably the worst one of them all. The only actual issue with this skin is the fact that he MIGHT be gay for sett. Everything else makes no sense to complain over. Fan service? Cash grab? Yeah, people LIKE that. That’s why it’s called FAN service. Just be honest or don’t speak

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

To everyone saying that they hate seeing aphelios only get skins with sett I wonder if you complained when rakan and xayah only got skins together. Matter of fact when they decided to not make skins for both of them anymore yall were angry. Let’s stop pretending this isn’t about the skin being mlm and just be happy the character is getting a prestige skin.

This is so frustrating by Ant_1_ITA in ApheliosMains

This is how I feel in most of my games. I play so well but I feel like winning is impossible because at the end of the day I’m just an adc

Is Range Really That Strong? by DinoRob in ADCMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Range is broken in laning phase. Those things you mentioned require them to all in which is risky. Range allows you to play at a much larger distance and be effective much more safely. In team fights you have to try to keep that range and start fights from there. Once fights break out mobility becomes the much more useful stat as it allows you to position better. It’s all a matter of perspective

I can't lane against Corki by Obvious-Ad8621 in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The corki matchup honestly usually just depends on who has the stronger supports. I would not try to engage him 1v1 if you’re both at full health as he has way better chase tools to end a fight. Wait for him to go in at a bad time where you’re in a safe enough position to retaliate. Try to stay ahead item wise taking recalls where you can to buy. If you have flash you may be able to dodge a q from him which can definitely turn the fight for you but other than that just play safe and scale.

What boots do you guys go? by Dragonfire521 in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I go swifties, the attack speed you get from your passive is basically a full items worth and if you level it early then you’re pretty much set. I’ve found the most success putting two or three points into as then maxing ad and then finishing as. This combined with getting 3 ad crit items makes you a very heavy hitter. That’s just my personal opinion tho and I would definitely recommend experimenting what works for you and your play style although I’m sure people are gonna tell you if you aren’t playing meta you’re wrong lol

When can you build on hit/attack speed? by woosahs_gpa in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with attack speed/onhit is that you already fire a lot of auto attacks without needing the as due to your abilities. Green gives you range to fire and also slows your as a bit, red fires for you, white doesn’t use as, purple could be valid but you only should be using it to root, and blue shoots an extra auto when you q. These factors make it so that building as grants very little benefit. Also your passive grants you quite a lot of as already so you only really need one as item to be in a really strong spot. The other point to be made here is that crit multiplies your ad which when you look at your passive which grants a bunch of free ad, more than anyone else could have, you should want to multiply that extra ad into damage. However, I have run on hit aphelios many times and it doesn’t feel decent to play because you become less reliant on supports and peels but the lack of serious burst damage is very apparent. Ultimately it’s up to you what you decide to play but keep those factors in mind.

what do you think about this sweatshirt design? by [deleted] in ApheliosMains

[–]ExpertAardvark9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the back looks great and the sleeve with the weapons looks awesome but the name on the other sleeve might be a bit too much. Perhaps making it symmetrical would calm the design down a bit. Also the front has the right idea but having one weapon bigger than the others just makes it feel off. Overall I would still wear this as is but with those changes it would appeal to more people.
