He had low healing numbers because he stayed at full health. Aphelius isn't particularly mana-hungry. And Triumph doesn't work at all unless you kill someone. So on a hard line, let's say against Caitlyn and a mage support, absorb life can be useful. But it's still pretty weak. I tried this rune once and never took it again....
Absorb life is only ever good against mage bot. They go tp, u go tp, u go absorb life and bro lane while ur supports try to win the game somewhere else.
@@EminNSU If u're comfortable with PoM then go for it. Personally, at least at the elo I play at, u're taking TP into mages 90% of the time to match their tempo. The only time I wouldn't do that is when Cleanse is absolutely necessary. I don't get much value off PoM after the first recall, and since I'm running TP mana is never an issue anyways. Absorb Life scales well in a 1v1 laning phase and will probably be just as good if not better than Triumph overall. That's just my preference though. Vamp scepter is a massive no for me on Aphelios early. The 3 crit item core is too valuable to complete asap.
@@bos7522 I kinda agree, if there is an option to not buy vampirism I don't buy it. But if it's necessary, I do. And my opinion is not only about Aphelius, but about ADC vs mage in general. I stand such lanes more often on Caitlyn and there you just need damage and mana to clear waves with Q.
@@EminNSU Yup, on Caitlyn for example I run PoM every game, but Cait is much stronger than Aphelios in laning phase and can push the mages in or fight them if they're spamming their abilities into the wave. Still wouldn't go vamp scepter personally though, feels like it sets u so far behind on champs that don't build something out of it asap like Draven, Kalista, Twitch, MF etc...
i always go triumph and p of mind only when paired with some hard poke supp where we just poke really hard. But i am only diamond so i dont have deeper understading of the game yet. Your content is awesome and i follow you since 1 year closely i enjoy every video (ps my fav playstyle and meta was when you went Stormrazor into Kraken with nimbus and ghost very fast very fun short but the best meta imo :D)
Idk, i think hes doing a lot to compensate picking aphelios in the first place, jax, graves, zed and tresh are really difficult for aphelios to deal with, so hes going for the basics, youre and adc, you kite and aa people, the job is done haha
this feels like a lethal tempo build???? but he's going pta???? he has so much fucking attackspeed and for what?? 3 extra autos? u can do the same dmg if u go full dmg lmao this is so weird
Absorb life bad. Debate ended.
Good for poke matchups
@@Caleb-jw1gj also nullifing orb has high ad ratio

@@bos7522 I'd rather take the presence of mind and buy a vampire scepter.

Great content ^^
Thanks! 😁
Build doesnt make sense. I can understand Yun Tal even tho I thnk its bad, but definitely not RFC

Bro don’t play heartsteel aphelios because he is scared to win 💀

The rapid-fire cannon second is a joke in general.
Armor penetration is so much better that it's just not comparable.
