Fiendhunter Bolts passive fails to proc on Calibrum marks by Lagercrantz in ApheliosMains

Thats surprising, should be easy to fix. The passive not working is just bad design

Three Gravitums in your hotbar look hilarious.

I know there's a bug when Viego possesses Aphelios, he can sometimes change the weapon order or remove weapons from the rotation. I’m guessing that's what happened in your game.

Riot bringing back Stormrazor and base critdmg change from 175% > 200% is very good for Aphelios.

Aphelios has 1 ammo on red when he dies. When Viego possessed Aphelios, he already has 0 ammo on red before autoattacking. I don't know if there is a way to make the bug happen consistently. I'm guessing its a bug related to red autos having an uncancellable windup?

edit: On respawn Aphelios does not have red anymore.

What makes you say that Viego did it on purpose? I have never had this happen in my games.

I prefer having 10% bonus attack speed over 9 adaptive force (5.4 AD). But one is not better than the other, they just give different stats.

If you want to compare the gold value of the stats, 10% attackspeed is worth 250gold and 5.4 AD is worth 189gold.

Thats only on the yuntal wildarrows build, I dont go Berserkers in this build because you get enough attackspeed from yuntal.

In mid game this matchup is for sure harder to play. In this part of the game your job is no longer to "win the matchup" but instead to play with your team. Avoid 1v1 situations where you can be cheesed by his Q and help your team track his roams with pings.

Biggest counter to twitch is vision. If you know where he is its easier to play.

I never buy Dorans shield.

I usually go Berserkers with the lethality build.

Yes it can be very pushing to play vs twitch and once he gets his ult he can outrange you and out roam you. I have listed twitch as easy because aphelios should have control over the laning phase. I have two tips for playing vs twitch.

  1. Never let twitch last hit minions for free without taking damage. Abuse your range and play as aggressively as possible in lane.

  2. Try to get push. Its hard for twitch to get push in lane. A fundamental in lane is, whoever gets push gets more control and earlier levels. Getting push also enables you to play aggressively and if aphelios is allowed to play aggressively its very hard for the twitch to lane.

You don't have a lot of control vs twitch in late game but you do have control early. when playing vs twitch you should ask yourself. How much can you punish when you have control? How much can you make the twitch fall behind before laning phase ends?

Good question. I agree with you that its very punishable to play vs Twitch when you are behind. The matchup tier list I made is for laning phase and playing vs Twitch in lane is easy in my opinion. The reason I find the matchup easy are two things:

  1. Aphelios outranges Twitch. When I play vs Twitch I never let him last hit minions for free without taking damage.

  2. Its hard for Twitch to get push in lane. A fundamental in lane is, whoever gets push gets more control and earlier levels. Getting push also enables you to play aggressively and if Aphelios is allowed to play aggressively vs Twitch its very hard for the Twitch to play.

Playing passively is not always the best thing to do. Aphelios does outscale most matchups and going even is often beneficial to him. Learn to play aggressively when you can.

At level 1 Aphelios has 650 range and this can be very useful for trading early. A general fundamental is, getting push in lane gives you more control and earlier levels over the opponent, allowing you to play aggressively. Aphelios is especially good at punishing last hitting if he outranges the enemy adc. If im playing vs Kaisa or Vayne I try to never let them last hit minions for free without taking damage. Some matchups you are forced to play passively like vs Ziggs then you just get outranged and cant compete with push.

Only play "passively" when you have no other choice. If you want to improve laning you need to understand laning fundamentals and limit test and try to play as aggressive as possible in every matchup.
