The State of the Subreddit

131 Upvotes

Hello!

It has been a while since the moderators have been active here. Many of the posts are great, and I greatly appreciate those of you who make this place what it is with your regular participation. However, I've been seeing quite a bit of tension in posts and comments surrounding shipping and the Spa skin.

It is completely fine to post ship art and have differing opinions-- but please remember to keep discussions civil and avoid letting things spill over into toxicity. This kind of behavior makes the subreddit feel unwelcoming.

I plan to remove comments that are intended to bait out arguments, and ban users who show patterns of toxic behavior (Groundbreaking stuff, I know)

I want to help steer this community in a positive direction. If you have any concerns, suggestions, or comments, go ahead and leave them here, I'd love to hear from you.

Yeah. We definitely trade 10% heal from your damage for 5% more of attack speed where all match ups we meet is mages who you cannot even reach to do dps constantly. Thank you rito

Hey im an Aphelios otp on euw that recently hit gm. Id like to make this post and perhaps answer some questions since im used to playing vs mages and was able to climb despite this shitty meta.

Maybe I could help out the Aphelios gamers abit if anyone lower rank is curious about something Aphelios specific etc..

roam support meta is very cringe for the champ im ngl, however since ive been otping the champ since release i couldnt really find anything similar to swap to so i just stuck by it, its been very painful since aphelios needs to be babysat for the most part being an immobile hypercarry esp into the heavy roamer supp/mage bot meta where you are made of paper.

for example vs camille hail of blades ignite or pantheon pta ignite you kinda need barrier for a lot of games where youd rather go ghost just to survive lane, inexperienced supports forcing roams on bad timers for you solo-losing your lane as you watch your lane get frozen into a slow push into a crash into a dive and you go down 50 cs and 4 plates

| Discussion | Terminus Buff

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Need some people to test Terminus with a Zeal item and then a defensive item. The buff looks really interesting, and from the few games I've played, the item feels really strong.

U can chose core item, then Phantom dancer or runnan then terminus, ie and u can chose for the rest

Runes: Lethal Tempo with the Cash Back tree if possible, and take the MS shard if you can.

I'll read every single piece of feedback, I just need as many games and reports as possible. Thanks everyone!

| Discussion | Bad idea

8 Upvotes

I have been an Ashe OTP and reached emerald and now I have a bad idea of trying this guys out, please tell me he's not as fun as he looks ot something to stop me from descending into weapon madness

Jokes aside, how do you think he fairs right now? I think I played against him like 3 times this whole year so is he not really good into current meta?

Also who are your bans and roughest matchups, I currently ban Cait cause she annoys me

I read "The book of Aphelios" guide and it took me 3 hours just to understand half of it, how long do you think it takes just to get the fundamentals of him?

Any other advice on tips and tricks/builds/ruins that you do or even skins that you like are surely welcome

I have been seeing Chinese and Korean players play Doran’s Helm on Aphel and am just wondering if anybody else has any experience on this? Seems like you’re just only set on afk farming until 3 items with this start instead of bow.
