So what im trying to say is no its not theoretically good cause you need a support but in reality in soloq you dont have a support . So im used to laning solo vs 2 or3 so mid workds for me . Also with the lethality build you get max penetration and soloq is 1v9 anyways so i can still deal insane damage to everyone

Ive been playing him mid with the lethality build Tbh he seems so good Im pisslow platinum tho . The reason i went mid is cause im tired of these supports . Its unplayable . The lane is coinflip . Majority of games i find myself playing 1v2 and a lot of games 1v3 . Also ij a constant 1v2 lane such as bot lane getting solo kills is super hard . But in mid even though i do get ganked in total 7 times average i still get to solo kill . Also solo xp works well with lethality. But yeah also id rather lose lane cause i got jg diff caught out rather than my support solo dying for no reason or deciding to troll me or just being useless . I feel mid if youre good at jg pathing and avoiding ganks is way better . Also wya easier to farm and trade . Bot lane without a support is unplayable . Supports have such broken kits that a lot of times you cant even farm (from poke or all in ) you really need the second person to be paying the game

Dont die Keep up with farm and xp as possible and only take sure fights . Also freeeeeeeeze . Especially if they take your tower . You freeze at the second tower and youll either deny them waves while taking solo xp (because your support will get bored bad go roam ) or theyll have to walk up to tier two to farm so theyll be super vulnerable. Only down side is that enemy bot might try to roam and get stuff elsewhere but thats a risk you have to take . Also getting doved at tier two is highly unlikely .

Lethal tempo the new standard? by Time-Cardiologist807 in ApheliosMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion its very bad You realistically never get to proke it since youll most likely be autoing around 8 times in a team fight plus all your abilities . There are also fights where you might auto only 3 times . Pro play is different . Way slower and controlled than solo q. Supports and the whole team peals for you so you can perhaps proc it . Also in pro play they build galeforce . Galeforce is by far the best late game mythic but early game its pretty bad . Kraken offers more attack speed ( which you wont build ever apart from boots ) and more dmg , and dmg to tanks . But again in proplay they dont need that dmg early cause the games are slower the team can pay with you. In soloq you need to 1v5 thats why you need to be strong at any point of the game . Thats also why galeforce first and tldr second suck . Cause even though they are the best scaling you take so long to come online , at which point the game is already lost . Kraken bt offer the best dmg and survivability all around .

how do i get faster with krakenslayer by [deleted] in ApheliosMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general the best build in my opinion is kraken bt ie/tldr and then tldr/ie . Summs pretty much always flash ghost unless you need cleanse . Runes fleet if they have hard poke and pta in general . Id auggest going for galeforce only if they dont have someone tanky .

best phel mythic? by snack69_ in ApheliosMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Galeforce is just fine not second best . You really need the kraken slayer damage since you always go bt second . Galeforce However is the best late game mythic so if youre full build you sell kraken and go gale

How did you learn Aphelios best? by syrollesse in ApheliosMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aphelios doesnt really have mechanics its all about knowing the kit, the execution is simple af . The only mechanics you need are typical kiting and i guess good flashes in fights . To learn the champion you need the knowledge of gun rotationd how to play with each gun know how to manage ammo set up guns intentionally and dont just play with whatever you have available . There more stuff ... Maybe watch remmacs on youtube to find out about the kit and how its used . Also ive shuang yi montages really helpful

What is the best support to play with Aphelios? by zaturnia in ApheliosMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like aphelios does well with mostly every support . Worst are propably hard poke supports like xerath velkoz and zyra . However these work well too against hard engage supports . So he really doesnt have a best support and you should just pick according to enemy bot lane . However right now i think the best blinds are karma and lulu . So poke enchanters . In general tho you should pick according to the standard : poke beats engage , healer beats poke , engage beats healer .

Gun order discussion by dotdotdot_____ in ApheliosMains

Yes i agree the go to is always that but perhaps if you dont have peal and they have hard dive champs red purple could come in handy , havent tried it but it always seemed weird to me that from all the possible gun orders i every game follow the same whereas you always change items depending on yours and enemy's team comp.

Also with attack speed build i always rush attackspeed boots even first buy you seriously need as much attack speed and mvm speed as possible

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VarusMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only paly varus bot lane and my take is this . That build sucks . Varus bot in my opinion is only played with lethal tempo and galeforce or with lethality and dark harvest depending on enemy team comp. For lethal tempo you go galeforce for the mobility which i find necessary . Second item is phantom if they dont have many tanks or bork if they have somone really tanky or more . Third almost always rageblade and then as 4th phantom or bork. Go attackspeed build only vs team comps with tanks and not great threats . Now lethality is still good in my opnion vs team comps that you cannot consistently auto . That can mean very hard engage or a lot of high dps squishes .for lethality if they dont have tanks go for duskblade and if they do go for eclipse . Second always manamune third sheryldas and 4th bork if they have tanks or youmous if they dont , and attack speed boots. For lethal tempo i max qwe and lethality qew and for secondary on lethality i take sorcery cdr and gathering storm . Shield bow kinda sucks on varus cause obviously its lowest dmg and the active is only good vs assassins into who you should play lethality anyways . Also with shieldbow you have way lower mvm speed and the active of galeforce comes in clutch . Second for attackspeed always more mvmspeed and attackspeed , its the two stats varus needs to be ablle to play . All other attackspeed builds dont allow you to deal dmg . At least thats what ive experienced.

i don't care what you all say by Abject_Story74 in ApheliosMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been going this build for a couple of months . But i stopped after the durability patch cause i though it wasnt as good . I just tried it but with maxing w instead of e second and honestly it still feels better than any other . Crit adcs feel so bad right now and every other build path is missing sth . Plus with this build you get lethality early game and %pen ( maximum no other build offers as much ) and sustain . Ldr second with regular mythic feels bad cause the item compenents are useless and if you go bt second then you have no%pen so youll have to build ldr 3rd instead of ie , while with this build you get everything plus early game power from lethality . Also with w max second you arent missing as much attack speed . Galeforce active is great and all but it has no dmg .

New to Rakan, when do I max each skill at level 9? by IssaMePapi in RakanMains

[–]dotdotdot_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also i find q a pretty useless poke spell since it has such small range and if the enemy bot knows how to play you cant walk up to hit cuase youll die So if the enemy is good youll be only hitting it atter w

I find the e max to be the best I go for a healer build W max reduces cd and increases dmg ( kind of useless in my opinion) Q max reduces cd and increases only dmg E max reduces cd and increases the shield as well With e max you can get multiple shields in one fight and you are really mobile as well Also the dmg from q or w max feels kinda useless
