But does Aphelios REALLY have one of the highest skill ceilings in the game?

I mean for me at lest the idea that I need to manage ammo with 2 guns while spamming q when each gun's q comes off cool down doesn't really seem like a hard concept to me. As long as you have the basic knowledge of how to ADC, I don't see how learning each gun and it's sidearm is really going to be that hard.

It's not like you have to figure out how to use a million dashes or something.

And you get a freaking sentry gun!

You will be locked into 2 specific guns for 50 shots. That's significant and creates windows of specific play with specific counterplay.

You're treading on dangerous ground. The league boomers that make up most of this community,will often times just spam or downvote anyone speaking positively about the new champion. They don't care they are set in their ways and will not listen to any kind of reason or logic. Aphelios bad. anything saying otherwise is going against populer oppinen.

Im guessing the hard part will be knowing how to micromanage which gun you want to save and which gun you want to get next. If a teamfight is starting and you have the low range boomerang weapon, then you lose out on a bunch of dps because you can't position that close as a immobile adc.

His combos also seem very fast and relient on weaving in auto attacks, the main weapon and offhand weapon both have separate cds so you could potentially do something like R auto Q auto W R auto Q auto to kill someone.

Which is one of the factors that make his skill ceiling high You are also supposed to know how each weapon combo can be used in every matchup, learn how to prepare the weapon combo you need for the fight, and I'm not even talking about possible builds and how each build could work with every combination

He looks so random in the play Iv seen. Mid fight he runs out of ammo so changes weapons and you have to completely change your play style to fit the new weapon.

Looks to me more like a champ that scripters will use.
