How to Counter Aphelios
Recognize Aphelios's vulnerabilities: Aphelios is quite immobile, making him a prime target for chain CC and assassins. If you're able to take him out quickly, especially during extended trades, your team will have a significant advantage.
Be mindful of his weapon combinations: Aphelios can adapt to nearly any situation using different weapon combinations; however, some combinations aren't as effective. Pay attention to his current weapons and use this to your advantage.
Capitalize on his reliance on items: Aphelios depends heavily on items, especially during the mid-game. If you can disrupt his farming and camp him early on, he will struggle as the game progresses.
Understand Aphelios's game pattern: He's at his strongest in the mid to late game and has high kill and trading pressure after he acquires his first damage item and reaches level 6. However, he's very squishy, so take advantage of any over-aggressive plays.
Watch out for his Ultimate: Aphelios's Ultimate R is powerful, especially during team fights. Caution is advised when engaging him when this ability is up.
Force him out of mid lane: Aphelios thrives in mid lane because it's shorter, easier for him to farm, and allows him to escape assassination attempts with ease. Pushing him out of this comfort zone can disrupt his game flow.
Make him the focus of your tactics: Aphelios is a powerful champion that can melt tanks in late game team fights. Focusing on taking him down and forcing unfavorable trades with him can cripple his effectiveness on the enemy team.
