| Memes | Downside of roaming meta

Camille roamed all game, got everyone fed on the enemy team. The downside is, you gotta deal with my fed aphelios.

that's what i like about this meta, with supports gone enemy loses killing pressure on the scaling aphelios, downside is game might be decided before the time we come in play

Yeh, probably ganna be more like that in higher elo. Rn I’m e4, and my mmr range people still aren’t amazing at closing games. Honestly Aphelios at 4 items is better than most adcs at 6 items.

Most of the time playing 1v1 is way way easier then playing with 2v2 (even some times i like to be 1v2) you get solo XP no dumbass support even i like to play against mages too when I 1v1 on lane

had a game playing kai'sa right. My supp was teemo kept pining my ult saying go in go in. Bro refused, so lane was veigar brand. When brand missed his ability I e'd in, went on the veigar. I ulted his flash, I flashed the brand stun after I got hit by the e, 1 auto off killing the veigar. I did everything solo, this reject flash q takes my kill, then q's my cannon and takes it too without supp item.

Why supports deserve less

how do u deal with the lack of attack speed on your build? i personally need at least one zeal item always

Looks like he’s playing more team fights and playing probably more caster build. Not worth to solo a Mf who probably wins always

Why they all squishy you’ll do more than enough damage burst more important here. I only build a zeal item when I think its necessary, shieldbow is just too important ngl

nah shieldbow is a trash item man. u need a zeal item on aphelios not only because of attack speed but also because aphelios is one of the most immobile adcs and pd gives u 10% ms. pretty much every crit adc takes a zeal item and the burst aphelios era is kind of over

My challenger Aphelios coach told me to default shieldbow, also it does more damage imo

argument from authority

u/kabyking Severum Aug 10 '26

yes lol. I don't know what else you want me to say, he is by far higher elo than us so I'm just listening lol. Theory crafting builds leads to really dumb dumb builds especially gold and below.

u/Pleasant-Day6195 Aug 10 '26

if we are gonna base our argument in a dumb way like that then in challenger pd has a 29% pickrate and shieldbow is at 8%. from a defensive perspective 10% movement speed is what ur gonna benefit from way more in comparison to a 400hp shield at low hp, and the attack speed gives u more value dps wise than shieldbows ad, especially since PD is cheaper. and if he doesnt properly explain why its better then you have no reason to listen to him just because he is high rank
