The State of the Subreddit

134 Upvotes

Hello!

It has been a while since the moderators have been active here. Many of the posts are great, and I greatly appreciate those of you who make this place what it is with your regular participation. However, I've been seeing quite a bit of tension in posts and comments surrounding shipping and the Spa skin.

It is completely fine to post ship art and have differing opinions-- but please remember to keep discussions civil and avoid letting things spill over into toxicity. This kind of behavior makes the subreddit feel unwelcoming.

I plan to remove comments that are intended to bait out arguments, and ban users who show patterns of toxic behavior (Groundbreaking stuff, I know)

I want to help steer this community in a positive direction. If you have any concerns, suggestions, or comments, go ahead and leave them here, I'd love to hear from you.

| Discussion | Why Do I Keep Losing?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a relatively new Aphelios player. I started playing him last week, and I estimate that I’ve played around 40 games so far, maybe even more.

At this point, I win lane in almost every game, but most of my games still end in defeats. I build The Collector, Infinity Edge, Lord Dominik’s Regards, and Bloodthirster in pretty much every game.

Since I used to be a Yorick main, I’ve probably developed a habit of avoiding teamfights until I have four or five items and focusing almost exclusively on taking towers instead. When I check the post-game stats, I usually find that I’ve dealt around three times as much damage to towers as the player with the second-highest tower damage.

I think this might be the main issue, because I feel like I’m doing everything else correctly. Do you think there’s a problem with my item build or my playstyle? Maybe The Collector is holding me back?

| Advice | Aphelios mains, what’s the best lane and strongest build right now?

7 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to Aphelios, and I’m honestly still figuring out how he works. My first few games, I barely knew what I was doing, but somehow I was consistently getting 15+ kills, hitting quadra kills in teamfights, and felt almost impossible to kill. šŸ˜‚ I have no idea if I was just getting lucky or what, but he felt insanely strong. Then I played two games last night and got absolutely destroyed, so now I’m questioning everything. 😭

I also really hate playing bot lane, so I’m curious if Aphelios is actually viable or potentially stronger in mid or top. I love his damage and teamfight potential, but I want to figure out how to play him more consistently. What lane would you recommend, and what’s the absolute strongest build for carrying games? I’m looking for maximum damage, strong teamfighting, and enough survivability that I’m not getting deleted instantly.

| Discussion | Which is Aphelio's best skin

14 Upvotes

Pretty much it.

Looking to play alot more of Aphelios since i find him very versatile (Ashe lover).

Which skin is the best or the smoothest to play with.

I currently own nightbringer but I find it a bit underwhelming, pretty dark and without particular sfx/vfx.

Cheers.

5 Upvotes

Hi friends! I just played a game of Arena on Phel and heard a first encounter voiceline for (I assume) Kindred, with Alune saying "Shiny bow"

I cannot find this anywhere online, not even his voice lines section on the wiki. Has anyone else heard this? I'm so sure I didn't hallucinate it or anything lol, but can't tell why it wouldn't be on the wiki page!

Internet disconnected after leona e'ed into me, though it led to this braindead, juicy three button play. And don't mind the blitz, he was autofilled.

Also the audacity from diana to steal the penta.

I need some advice on build order. I think when I play aphelios, I die pretty quickly this in an early game , enemy champions are able to do alot of damage to me. Making me lose a ton of health. Any advice on how I should go about this.

For build order. I usually go . LDR into Infinity edge , berserker and whisper something I forgot the name. It's got like 2 blue swords in the icon.

Thank you.

Se supone que solo íbamos a empujar líneas, ya que en las dos team fights anteriores nos metimos realmente mal y ya no era muy rentable, no me quisieron dejar mid y tuve que empujar bot, pero en medio de eso decidieron que era una buena idea hacer barón (con todos vivos, ademÔs), como no iba a llegar, seguí empujando con el buff del barón, me dieron las suficientes manos pa aguantarles y mÔs que entraron de uno en uno ñamñam la fe siempre fue mi arma mÔs letal.

They stopped adding emotes to the tft battlepasses now, and it wasn't in a bundle either so I'm not sure if it's an esports drop or if I missed how to get it somewhere, does anyone know?
