Shorell it actually is , you should know when to use each combination and some combinations are trash for some situations, for example if you’re fighting with chakrum and gravitum, if a j4 últs you or a Darius grabs you you’re dead, the stun from gravitum is not nearly enough to save your life, but if you duel with severum of course you’ll survive because of the lifsteal, if you team fight with infernum you win, or with calibrum you win , but of course you must learn when and where you use it and how to position yourself more than anything.

well, you gotta be good, and idiots always just group together which is why you get that much damage. Infernum flamethrower ult damage multiplies with the more people it hits, so of course its gonna do that much damage. Besides if you dont start getting kills in the first 15 min there is literally nothing you can do. You dont have anything except your guns, and when your behind, your guns do zero damage and you are squishy, actually the worst champ in the game when behind.
He is definitely to a a tank, not an assassin, not a mage, not a support and not a jungler. Sure hes strong but thats just because they don't know how to play against him, grouping so tight when he has infernum is just asking for a spank in the ass.
Reminder that he used to be far stronger on release and THAT version of him made it through "play testing". those clips you saw in this video where his ult did 30-50% of their hp in dmg would have just full aced entire teams if this was him on release patch.

@@Hiken_Bakuzan Yeah i also see nothing wrong with Samira getting free windwall while doing damage because fuck dodging skillshots if u can just tank it right?
Aphelios is a destroyer in combat, a beast in 1v1, a 1v3 god, a champ that can stay in lane without using any potions, a master of harassing and poking and, last but not least, the best proof for Riot’s “200-year-of-collective” experience in game design :))
This is Aphelios after few rounds of nerf Just imagine how bloody strong and ‘balanced’ when he was just released Ornn, Sylas, Senna and that afk cat, champions these days.......
I'm all for high skill champions. I'd far rather get whupped by someone who's mechanically skilled on their champion than by a Darius or an Illaoi being like "fun is henceforth forbidden", but I do get the feeling that Riot think that giving a champion a high skillcap is actually a way to balance the champion. Because it isn't. I'm honestly fed up with being 1v1d by random idiots playing Lee Sin or Irelia, failing everything, farming like shite but still being stronger than every other champion because "sKiLLz".
@@Ceracio yes thats what we r talking about they just make the skilled champions broken just because they r skilled and u r left with no counter play if ur opponent knows what hes doing on one of these champions .. any btw most of the so called "high skill cap" champions are not hard at all , its just that there a wrong idea spread among the community that having dashes makes the champion hard , which is just dumb . An example for that would be reworked akali for the entire 1st year after her rework .. she was insanely broken with literally no counter play to her 100 to 0 combo in lane but just because she dashes around thats skill
@@Ceracio If you're getting killed by irelia then its entirely your fault. She is quite meh (bordering on trash) in the hands of all but the most skilled players but hey maybe you just ran into one of the few who can pilot her super well, or maybe you just don't want to accept that they were better than you and you made more mistakes.

@Yasuke ϟ they don't do that kind of damage if they fall behind and they usually die fast if there are more than one enemy coming for them while this champ is an AoE lawnmower. His every auto deals more than MF ult lmao
@@bmth692 Aphelios is so thrash to play against, he doesnt need to kite, you legit try to run it down with a lead and he just walks away while his razors take away all your hp
Love the how even the commentators are like "sure... that seems fair." Lmao riot you ruined your game but it's not ruined because there will always be new summoners
Remember when his level ups could give +% Armor Penetration so he didn't even need a Last Whisper item unless it was absolutely necessary? Now it's +Flat Lethality which lets him nuke Squishies better.
@Cookie 69 armor pen% is good vs tanks and less good vs squishies, lethality is good vs squishies and less good vs tanks, for aphelios its actually not that bad having lethality now since he melt squishies and if there is tanks he just go last whisper and voilà
Rai Green actually if you do the math, after lvl 18 and 4 armor item, I just decide to not buy armor pen against tank at all lol, instead focusing on crit and other useful item.
Kinda wrong: 18% armor pen is almost equal to 12 lethality if the enemy has 70 armor (both will reduce 70 to 57/58). As an example, Xayah is the ADC with the least armor lvl 18, which is 76. 18% pene is better than 12 lethality even against "squishies"; lethality is an early game stat, or a stat you want to stack with multiple lethality items, tho Aphelios wants crits and survivability. We can mention champions even more "Squishy" such as Kassadin, Orianna, Heimerdinger having
Mateo Ikica imagine defending your main champ like this. Kaisa can build AP or AD and does mixed damage. She also has shielding invisibility and Q that auto trades for you. Her ult is very flexible and allows you to reposition. She can also build GA or Zhonyas and has an on hit passive
@@mateoikica3893 lmao what. How many nerfs has she received and yet she is STILL picked in pro and popular in solo queue. Passive on-hit magic damage that stacks and deals execution damage at max stacks, Stealth, movement/attack speed buff giving dash, good waveclear with Q that deals execution damage to minions(also broken synergy with manamune), long range nuke that gives vision and true sight on enemies hit, ult that lets you dash across the screen from your w or any allied CC with a huge shield that scales with both AD/AP(200% AD ratio scaling LMAO WTF), and the abilitiy to build both AP and AD while doing mixed damage no matter what you build making her impossible to itemize against defensively.
It's actually hilarious, there's like a split second before the damage from his ult registers. You see the hit connect with like 4 people, and you have to wonder what is going through the minds of these professional players. Maybe something like "oh shit am I in the blast zone?" And then everyone dies LMAO
Have you ever played against 9-0 Cait or Ez or MF, they all are capable of oneshotting your entire team, it just looks less brutal (Except for MF R) and them getting 9-0 happens much less often.
@@doomse150 true, but even if adc is fed and he/she does not go tank they are still paper thin so random 1-6 top laner with 1 item still can kill them (top laner ofc has to do it strategicly and not braindead rush towards them)
@@Sanguchito137 Consider the 1v4 scenario where a not so fed aphelios single handedly 1v4s a more fed enemy team. No adc that behind could possibly dream of pulling that off and LIVING.
@@RonanTetsu he's basically 4 items and level 15 due to the molten edge....you want him to be 8 items to do something? He literally has more stats than Ezreal and J4/Yuumi are non-existent here since it is full tank J4 and Yuumi doesn't do damage.
*Aphelios literally one shotting an entire team even being released half a year ago, Yasuo winning games with 2 items after 0/10 powerspike, Zoe stealing your actives and basically winning TF while one shotting your backline* CertainlyT : "200 years worth of balance*
you understand that if your team groups together, his ult multiplies? The more people that are together when the infernum ult hits, the more the damage multiplies, and its only that weapon. You wont ever 1 shot with that ult unless in the right situation and you're fed.
@@maggiethetompug1409 but then, how do you focus on one character if not homming onto him? It is like A) don't focus him, he will kill you like any other adc. You know what a focus-free ADC can do in a teamfight B) focus him, he will kill you even faster
@@maggiethetompug1409 There are plenty of AoE specialists and none of them can one-shot the entire team with just their Ult. They have to spend their entire skill bar + follow up to accomplish it and it is not easy. MF come close but her ult is not instant and the counterplay is just to not standing still in the entire duration of her ult. Aphelios "set up" is just using his gun on minions to cycle to the desire gun, then wait for team fight and click R. No need for set up, just press R into the enemy ball.
Tbh, I still think Zoe is the most balanced of the bunch. I mean her Q does serious damage, but it's a skill shot that's hard to hit unless you're good at prediction and aiming since you can't always lock down kills with your E and she needs really good positioning. Even if you did get your E off, it doesn't necessarily mean you can go in with Q cause it's risky sometimes. Yasuo and Aphelios are easy as fuck to play if you're a decent enough player at LoL.

Yeah6 that will prove to everyone that I'm not a complete joke of a designer" (he really is a fucking joke, he didn't add anything to the character except raw power and wu's playrate dropped after the rework because no-one wants to play this piece of shit unless he's ungodly overpowered) Also all of this "collective experience'" is complete bullshit because no-one who's actually working on league's design rn never had any previous game design experience outside of league, the only exception being meddler.

NOPE, DUMBS, he uploads once a year, DUMBS more like... SHIT-
he said it first lfmao
Seems Balanced
He is definitely to a a tank, not an assassin, not a mage, not a support and not a jungler.
Sure hes strong but thats just because they don't know how to play against him, grouping so tight when he has infernum is just asking for a spank in the ass.
@@wissiw5276 he can just hold onto that weapon until a team fight. There is no counterplay unless the counterplay is "no team fight". It's stupid.
The tanky part is specially true when Aphelios builds deaths dance. That item is actually fucking cancer. Its getting built on every adc in lck
Reminder that this made it through “play testing”
Reminder that he used to be far stronger on release and THAT version of him made it through "play testing". those clips you saw in this video where his ult did 30-50% of their hp in dmg would have just full aced entire teams if this was him on release patch.

@@Xersias a bad gun wont really do anything, because you can just switch it up. You need all of the guns to have a weakness like jinx. She has a trade off, range with aoe or att speed.

Aphelios is a destroyer in combat, a beast in 1v1, a 1v3 god, a champ that can stay in lane without using any potions, a master of harassing and poking and, last but not least, the best proof for Riot’s “200-year-of-collective” experience in game design :))

"cool, how many people are in your team"

Just imagine how bloody strong and ‘balanced’ when he was just released

You know something is terribly wrong when the only "balanced" champion they released in 2019 was the assassin champion (Qiyana)
@@vukkicos5688 qiyana was not balanced when she was first released but now she's just trash
Best comment I’ve ever seen.
Ornn is balanced but in 10.13 he will be dead as a champ.

Made me think of typical Yas
basically every "high skill cap" champion is the same .. yas akali aphelios riven etc
I'm all for high skill champions. I'd far rather get whupped by someone who's mechanically skilled on their champion than by a Darius or an Illaoi being like "fun is henceforth forbidden", but I do get the feeling that Riot think that giving a champion a high skillcap is actually a way to balance the champion. Because it isn't. I'm honestly fed up with being 1v1d by random idiots playing Lee Sin or Irelia, failing everything, farming like shite but still being stronger than every other champion because "sKiLLz".
@@Ceracio yes thats what we r talking about they just make the skilled champions broken just because they r skilled and u r left with no counter play if ur opponent knows what hes doing on one of these champions .. any btw most of the so called "high skill cap" champions are not hard at all , its just that there a wrong idea spread among the community that having dashes makes the champion hard , which is just dumb . An example for that would be reworked akali for the entire 1st year after her rework .. she was insanely broken with literally no counter play to her 100 to 0 combo in lane but just because she dashes around thats skill
@@Ceracio If you're getting killed by irelia then its entirely your fault. She is quite meh (bordering on trash) in the hands of all but the most skilled players but hey maybe you just ran into one of the few who can pilot her super well, or maybe you just don't want to accept that they were better than you and you made more mistakes. I think I know which one it is.

Have you seen the Ornn R bug?
"Yeah, maybe that bug made a professional team lose an important game but.. HEY, did you see these 2 Lux skins coming?"
I almost forgot to watch this today.
Remember when his level ups could give +% Armor Penetration so he didn't even need a Last Whisper item unless it was absolutely necessary?
Now it's +Flat Lethality which lets him nuke Squishies better.
@Cookie 69 armor pen% is good vs tanks and less good vs squishies, lethality is good vs squishies and less good vs tanks, for aphelios its actually not that bad having lethality now since he melt squishies and if there is tanks he just go last whisper and voilà
Rai Green actually if you do the math, after lvl 18 and 4 armor item, I just decide to not buy armor pen against tank at all lol, instead focusing on crit and other useful item.
Rai Green 25% armor pen against a 400 armor ornn (80% dmg reduction) is 100 armor ignored, that’s still leave him with 300 armor (75% dmg reduction)
Everyone levels attack first then attack speed then lethality so this point is null.
Kinda wrong: 18% armor pen is almost equal to 12 lethality if the enemy has 70 armor (both will reduce 70 to 57/58).
As an example, Xayah is the ADC with the least armor lvl 18, which is 76. 18% pene is better than 12 lethality even against "squishies"; lethality is an early game stat, or a stat you want to stack with multiple lethality items, tho Aphelios wants crits and survivability.
We can mention champions even more "Squishy" such as Kassadin, Orianna, Heimerdinger having
Kaisa: overloaded, high skill ceiling, "hard to play"
Aphelios: YES
Kai'Sa isn't overloaded.
@@mateoikica3893 Yes she is. She has been top tier almost since her release.
Mateo Ikica imagine defending your main champ like this. Kaisa can build AP or AD and does mixed damage. She also has shielding invisibility and Q that auto trades for you. Her ult is very flexible and allows you to reposition. She can also build GA or Zhonyas and has an on hit passive
@@mateoikica3893 lmao what. How many nerfs has she received and yet she is STILL picked in pro and popular in solo queue. Passive on-hit magic damage that stacks and deals execution damage at max stacks, Stealth, movement/attack speed buff giving dash, good waveclear with Q that deals execution damage to minions(also broken synergy with manamune), long range nuke that gives vision and true sight on enemies hit, ult that lets you dash across the screen from your w or any allied CC with a huge shield that scales with both AD/AP(200% AD ratio scaling LMAO WTF), and the abilitiy to build both AP and AD while doing mixed damage no matter what you build making her impossible to itemize against defensively.
@@JohnSmith-ef6sv Compared to Mr. 200 or Lucian's Mrs. tho.... got me feeling like Kai'Sa is a little underpowered XD.

He needs three items like every other ADC.
It's actually hilarious, there's like a split second before the damage from his ult registers. You see the hit connect with like 4 people, and you have to wonder what is going through the minds of these professional players. Maybe something like "oh shit am I in the blast zone?"
And then everyone dies LMAO
Because the first hit it does minor damage, and second time he auto attacks each of them with weapon on unlimited range

B) focus him, he will kill you even faster
@@maggiethetompug1409 There are plenty of AoE specialists and none of them can one-shot the entire team with just their Ult. They have to spend their entire skill bar + follow up to accomplish it and it is not easy.
MF come close but her ult is not instant and the counterplay is just to not standing still in the entire duration of her ult.
Aphelios "set up" is just using his gun on minions to cycle to the desire gun, then wait for team fight and click R. No need for set up, just press R into the enemy ball.
@@ohlookitisacat7404 did we watch the same video? did you even watch the video?
these op champion apologist.
Tbh, I still think Zoe is the most balanced of the bunch. I mean her Q does serious damage, but it's a skill shot that's hard to hit unless you're good at prediction and aiming since you can't always lock down kills with your E and she needs really good positioning. Even if you did get your E off, it doesn't necessarily mean you can go in with Q cause it's risky sometimes. Yasuo and Aphelios are easy as fuck to play if you're a decent enough player at LoL.
