How to Use Aphelios Counter Data
Need dependable Aphelios matchup data? The figures below are pulled from live ranked ADC games, not from opinion-based tier lists. At the moment, Aurelion Sol, Syndra, and Ziggs are the toughest lanes for Aphelios, where his win rate falls the farthest under his overall average. The most punishing of these is Aurelion Sol, where Aphelios has won 40.7% of 214 logged games. On the other side, Aphelios holds the edge against Vayne, Sivir, and Kai’Sa, so those are good matchups to aim for during champion select.
Every card lists Aphelios’s win rate in that matchup along with the game count behind it. A result based on tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come directly from the win rate: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. They’re meant to make scanning faster and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above on every region, runs on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. Matchups are only part of the decision, though. Check the current Aphelios build for the best items and runes, or visit the Aphelios champion page for ability details and everything else.
