The Search For an Aphelios Counter

Aphelios.

The champion with pretty much no weaknesses. So then how do we beat him. He has range that is equal to caitlyn with his sniper rifle with his q range being insane and can do roughly 400dmg from roughly 3/4 of a tower away. burst equal to an assassin with his calibrum nonsense. he has high aoe with his flamethrower. he has a slow and a root with his gravitum. he has lifsteal and higher dueling ability with his scythe thing.

So, in other words, his passive includes a free rapid fire cannon, free duskblade/shiv, free titanic, free vampiric sceptor, and a free frozen mallet. So then, where are his weaknesses. Well, riot is defending him pre-nerfs by saying he has the lowest mr in the game. which is true. but he is an ADC, which means his opponent isnt likely going to be buying a bunch of ap to deal with him. but what if they did. Champs like heimerdinger, ezreal, ap kai'sa work well against him. Supports like morgana can dish out magic dmg, root him down, and shield the adc from aphelios rooting them. the infamous zyra ashe combo seems pretty well into him. Karma, lux, even a ziggs or xerath work well into him. options like thresh, naut, and blitz also pose a threat due to his lack of mobility, however pulling him in while he has the right weapons at hand (ie scythe thing primary and crescendum secondary) can cause great harm

what do you think beats pre-nerf aphelios and what do you think he stomps rn.
