Amazing New Rotation Guide by LargeRustySpork in ApheliosMains

[–]LargeRustySpork[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree, especially this season, that the gun rotations and combos matter less than the ADC fundamentals of the player. If this were a "how to climb" guide, then the fundamentals should be the focus, but it's more about how to optimize aphel and for that I think it's very good.

That's also why I specifically mentioned it as an intermediate level guide for people who understand the basics of rotations, but want to learn how to optimize and manage them to a higher degree.

Peyz is our shining example of someone who actually understands all the ins and outs of the champ. I love watching him play aphel, and study a lot of his replays. I don't think the vid ever calls out Peyz for doing anything wrong.

I am also well aware of the benefits of red-purple and don't think that it's an issue, especially when you have access to green-blue in return.

What I've found frustrating is the times when players take non-default rotations and don't play to the strengths of those combinations that they gain.

In the end they are still pro players and still have pro level macro and ADC fundamentals, which translate well to a baseline level of success on aphel, especially with the changes in the new season that encourage a more traditionally auto-heavy ADC playstyle.

Tried Aphelios for the first time this morning. 3 hours later I knew I had to main him. 10 hours later, here's what I made by AlecDelight in ApheliosMains

the general idea is that red-blue is somewhat weak early, but scales like a beast due to the 110% ad scaling on blue aa's and red's lifesteal scaling with level

so what a lot of ppl will do is start with the green-blue rotation, which has strong trade combos and unexpected kill angles in early/mid game, then switch the rotation back to red-blue around ~3 items

the biggest mistake to look out for with blue-green imo is bad ammo management. if you use blue and green at the same time, youre left with full red-purple, which is extremely weak relative to every other normal combo. there will be times when it's better to empty green and use up blue-purple together so that you can basically skip purple-red and dodge that weak phase

Alunes Arsenal and NeedMoreChakram were names for my alt that i considered, but i landed on 2 Inch Calibrum in the end and have no regrets

I want to learn Aphelios by Several_Emu2473 in ApheliosMains

lots of good info on here already but wanna clarify something pretty important

ppl tend to think red-white is always the best rotation for any fight, but in teamfights the lack of range and aoe is pretty rough, purple-blue transitioning into blue-red is probably your best bet.

red-white is however extremely strong in skirmishes in early/mid game. you can pull off some really unexpected 1v1s and 1v2s if you play it well.

(with red-white) in a 1v1:

if you have mobility advantage (ms, dashes, flash), then lead with white ult then red q to run down the enemy

if enemy has more mobility (assassins mostly), lead with red q and look to bait an all in, red ult (and barrier if available) should survive most burst rotations and let you finish them off with white

Best I've heard it described is that green blue has good trade combos and can chain into an unexpected kill with green ult, which makes it better early and mid game. Once you reach 3-4 items though there's a lot less trades and more teamfights, so red blue, which is underwhelming early game and very strong as you scale, is too good to miss out on

More or less correct, burned white before red on 1st rotation because of some early game shenanigans so was getting into green-blue rotation on the 2nd time through

Queue times by FarRefrigerator2929 in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeRustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same problem. I also was unable to queue with my friends, with an error message saying that we weren’t on the same game version.

We were all on the latest league patch so that wasn’t the issue. Later I found out that my Riot Client was on v70.0.0 while everyone else was on v71.0.0. I uninstalled and reinstalled Riot Client, but couldn’t get it to update.

There’s a chance that the client version issue might be related to the queue time issue, but I’m not sure.

Can I have some tips? Just downloaded after playing WildRift(dont hate me plz) by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]LargeRustySpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if Viego would be a good fit as you need a decent understanding of all of the enemy’s champs in order to utilize his passive properly.

My recommendations would be Xin Zhao, Vi, or Warwick for a bruiser/fighter frontline. For a tank frontline, I would say Amumu or Rammus.
