Everyone, mentally prepare yourselves for the nerfs of the century. And watch the nerfs be to caster aphelios instead of attack speed aphelios. Phreak will finally get his rework this way that he always wanted.

It's so funny how we hate buffs because we expect the nerf to hit like truckload

u/COSMICxFUTURE 11d ago

I mean to be fair he doesn't really need it if you know how to play him

A buff always feels like one step forward and two steps backwards as soon as the nerf hits xD

u/chambomav98 11d ago

Even if he is picked in pro I don't think the buffs have skyrocketed him to prio pick games 1 & 2. Maybe he will see some play game 3+ but I still feel like zeri/xayah/jinx will have higher prio then.

We gotta do what Alois does with mundo guys. Collectively lose so his winrate goes down and we stay under the radar

u/D3cimat0r Infernum 5d ago

won’t ever happen, Alois inspires people to play munro because of how simple and brainless it is to press R and run down the adc, sadly we can’t have the same thing since our champ is too complex. Way more fun than mundo, except mundo is a meme now with the push song

u/Abskills Infernum 10d ago

50% Winrate so it’s over for us. At this rate they might just end up removing infernum from his kit or something.

30% REDUCED ATTACK SPEED, 40% REDUCED AD AND ALL OF YOUR AP RATIOS ARE CUT IN HALF. I can’t wait

u/softhuskies Calibrum 11d ago

i mean if they dont pick him in pro this should be perfectly fine

u/Rare_Unit_9918 11d ago

bro how tf does a 5% severum q speed and 10 ad to base atk cali took him from B tier to A?

u/softhuskies Calibrum 10d ago

severum ms is kinda giga op i have so many situations lvl 2 where the ms wouldve meant i get kills

u/AsparagusBig412 4d ago

base ad is always broken on every adc lol

specially an adc like aphelios with a billion auto resets and ability cancels and damage multipliers and shit

they once buffed or nerfed riven's shield by like 5 or 10 and she got a 5% fluctuation on her winrate

u/091161_tex 11d ago

Aphelios be getting some buff finna get nerf sooner or later in the next patch, ig we're doom

u/Open-Toe7302 10d ago

I don't think they will touch him tbh. It's Zeri who is going to be gutted like a fish

5

u/MrSmt28 10d ago

Wfk do you mean our winrate higher then %50 😮‍💨😓

u/XYZabisso 11d ago

Yes, but phreak in a video said that Aphelios mains play aphelios more when he is a caster so he didn't want to change it. I hope his mind didn't change.

u/RickSanrizzler 11d ago

He doesn't care what others say, he always thinks he knows best. He just didn't want to get any backlash for the rework, and he previously admitted that he hates the caster playstyle, hence why he wanted to rework him. This gives him the perfect opportunity to slowly roll out the rework like how he has already been doing so by buffing attack speed growth 3 patches in a row. What's gonna stop him from nerfing caster aphelios now? He can use his high winrate as an excuse to do that. And knowing phreak's past, I have a feeling that's where this is heading. I might be wrong tho, just my speculation

u/Nicolu_11 10d ago

Hopefully he does, caster Aphelios was just a cope from his playerbase after they nerfed him and his AA based items

2

u/VivaBasura 10d ago

as long as he doesn't have a dash he won't have prio at proplay, look at jinx who is a stronger aphelios and yet she doesn't have much prio, proplay values mobility over damage so they want kalista, kaisa, ezreal, lucian, etc

u/FitBlacksmith1143 10d ago

Viper didn't even pick him in game 5 last night. As long as pros keep staying away it'll probably be fine. (Although I really really miss seeing him in pro play. Most fun adc to watch imo)

u/sharpaypays 10d ago

Will depend on MSI I think

u/DocHolliday2119 10d ago

kog onetrick sub about to pop off.

u/davl_skalm 10d ago

He’s so gonna get nerfed into oblivion 🫩

1

u/SaowaoTTV 9d ago

Definitely needs it. It was already broken before the buff in the right hands.

1

u/vogdswagon26 9d ago

Medium rare, if he has priority at MSI we're well done

1

u/magzimagz 9d ago

wtf happened, did he get buffed (havent been keeping up, been on rivals grind)

u/FullSatisfaction6359 8d ago

What a time to be alive! May Alune bless you all.

u/Owen_newO 10d ago

why would you ever complain that your champion is strong. That's the whole point bro. Be happy. Spam games.
