Is Vex better when played alongside Aphelios?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Vex that will 100% of the time be their ideal ally. Yet, overall, Aphelios is a very typical companion for Vex. By playing on the same side as Vex, he lowers their win rate by -0.7% to 48.1%. This signals that there is a weak bond between Vex and Aphelios that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Aphelios has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means you must be cautious when arranging Aphelios teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Playing alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Vex and Aphelios together, you probably will not be providing your side very much magical damage output. Plan to bring other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Aphelios teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
