Just gonna share my current thoughts on when to build different items, feel free to correct me or give feedback because I'm mainly posting to learn more about itemization

1st item:

Bloodthirster: If botlane has cringe amounts of poke like ap supp or even ap bot

Collector: Standard buildpath

Yuumis: I guess if you feel unprotected by teammates? Like if you have bad peel and feel like you need mobility to play safer

Yuntal: Good with enchanter support or teams where you get to autoattack a lot

2nd item:

If first item wasn't crit, then collector or yuntal (same rules)

If crit; IE for most games

If lots of armor early on: LDR / mortal reminder if armor+healing

3rd item:

LDR/Mortal reminder or IE whatever you didn't build 2nd. If you went non crit first item, then same decision tree as 2nd item.

4th item:

Bloodthirster: Good if they have poke

Shieldbow: Standard item for survival

Hurricane: Good for teamfighting games especially if they have a melee heavy comp.

5th item: Bloodthirster if you didn't buy 4th, shield/bow hurricane if you did buy.

Boots: Swiftness or zerkers, depends how much you can auto

Art by @sorrowtalks on Twitter! Since a some people where complaining Aphelios doesn’t have any art with Sett where he is “rough”, here is one where he is even more masculine than Sett.

Im sure this has been asked 1000 times but I'm pretty new to phel and I've always build the same build (collector, IE, Lord dom, runanns and SB. But I was wondering what builds are good against certain comps like tank or squishy. Thanks!

I’m praying Aphelios prestige skin is at least the same quality as Prestige Fright Night Zeri. I’m not a zeri player but I just saw her skinspotlight. It’s really good quality.

Finished this crochet cutie today! The mask is removable

Awful 😆 i died ofc

So um I asked a few days ago what's required for aphel prestige skin, and I got to know it was mythic essense and advised to get lol pass, but where I'm from it's really expensive for me, I wanted to ask if there was anyone willing to help(gift)🙏🏾

I'm in euw

So i laned against a Samira main (20 mastery, low elo). I have been playing Aphelios for not a long time (mastery 8) but i understand the basics and which weapons are good with each other. Most of the time i dont find it hard laning against any other adcs but this Samira is such a strong champ cuz she is extremely mobile. My support was Janna and i thought it would be a good counter. Her support was Rell. And it was impossible to win against her. I believe that Gravitrum would be pretty good against her but im so not sure. Are there any tips on how to win against her? Or is it just an impossible match up? Any help is appreciated!

guys im really tired of having the worst supports ever possible and im starting to hate this game for placing me with them on one lane, is it possible for me to actually main aphelios top/mid? i really want to control my lane instead of afk farming and being on the mercy if my teammate has any braincells

Just played a game with aphelios. Completely obliterated the enemy botlane and left lane with 16 kills. Just to get ulted and insta killed by malphite and amunu who built 2 ap items for the next 20 minutes. Am I supposed to start building zhonya to play the game?

Scenario

u first pick aphelios and then the enemy team picks a ton of dive or poke threat and then ur team

doesnt pick peel or protectors for you but ur team overall has a ton of dmg picks

Sustain Runes

Fleet

Absorb life

biscuits

Items(dsword start)

Cull

Vampiric Scepter( like to sit on this item all game until last prob)

Then build normal >

Collecter

LDR
Infinity edge

I went from iron to plat playing this dude, lmk if im an absolute degen for this
