My thoughts on Aphelios (since more is revealed)

Seeing even the kit review on the announcement thread (I'll leave a link below) gave me even more to think about and quite frankly... I still think he's gonna be another overloaded mess let alone a failure. This is probably going to be the most overloaded champion, yet a complete mind numbing experience to play in the history of League, I can tell you that much! But damn...this will just cause problems and do more harm than good for game health. I don't even think he seems like a complex champion to begin with, let alone his own weapons are somewhat rng and can't choose whatever weapon he wants, yet doesn't seem like a big deal since any weapon will be ideal.

To begin with his kit, it would be fine if he had 2 or 3 switch of guns, but 5? Each of which can do something different. Poke/harass, sustain, utility, AOE/waveclear, and some weird boomerang like a cheap version of Gnar Q. I'll go in detail because each of those weapons even have more than 1 thing to do! 1st weapon: Calibrum An auto with extra range. When its ability hits an enemy it marks them and Aphelios can right click on them ANYWHERE on the map. So no matter how far you run, he still smacks you. Apparently it even chain reacts to other marked targets dealing bonus damage. 2nd weapon: Severum Deals damage and heals him and excess heals are converted into a shield. Seriously? Grants movement speed, and fires at the nearest enemy prioritizing champions. Like a Sona Q. 3rd weapon: Gravitum Slows and roots the target. 4th weapon: Infernum An auto attack that somewhat acts like an MF Q that damages the target behind it. Actually more like a Ryze wave clear but on steroids. 5th weapon: Crescendum Basically a Gnar Q but an auto AND acts like a Heimer Q.

I'm sorry but...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? Obviously he's an ADC so damage is his main thing. But a to have this (going in order from 1st to last weapons):

• extra range auto
• When hit, can right click anywhere on map
• chain reacts upon others that are marked
• heal
• shield (one can argue he has to be full HP)
• auto target nearest enemy
• slow
• root
• aoe waveclear
• boomerang auto
• place a turret

This is even worse than the release of rework Akali! So again, what the hell is this? This is some another mess of a champion. I don't care how unique his abilities work or how his ability bar even appears. I'm telling you that this is going to be a mess. This is so nerve wracking...

Edit: Also, expect a ton of back lash to riot on this one.
