after watching a guide on how aphelios works i can tell you his winrate will be horrible

as with 90% of new champs, their pickrate and banrate are among the highest in the game while their winrate is the lowest.

with aphelios, this might hit a new low. he is so complex and overloaded that it will take people a lot of time until they learn him. the average player will prob never be able to play this champ. his winrate is going to be around 30% im calling it right now.

which brings me to my biggest worry... watching vids of him, his current dps is one of the highest i have ever seen. we had assassin(s) in the support role, now we have them in the adc role it seems like. i just PRAY that riot doesnt have their typical panic attack of "oh our new champ does bad LETS BUFF THEM EVEN MORE!" because this dude has crazy damage. you dont even need to know what you do, just press q w q and some aa and the dps is insane.

lets hope riot gives the champ at least 2 months of testing before they touch him.

to describe this champ in a nutshell all i can say is... kaisa²

I dont really think he can be thought of as an assassin but hes frontloaded with damage because of lack of mobility and lack of range. Most other adcs have some compensation for lack of mobility like how jhin runs fast and kog just straight shits on your face.
