HEY VAPORA You responded to my question on how to get better at Aph on Reddit I was the humble Xayah and Kaisa guy I read your Aphelios book and it’s so so much knowledge I’m going to have to read it again and again to fully comprehend it but now how lucky I get a 3 hour Aph video you are the BEST!!!

[@Alextinto28]

Do you have any tips for playing vs longer ranged champs like lux, Cait, jinx or mages? Don't really know if I should be trying to bait spells or just staying away

[@VaporaDark]

Aphelios's two biggest counters are getting dived and getting outranged. There's not much to do if you're getting out-ranged and don't have a support that can help engage onto them, you just do your best to hang in there. Some weapons may give you some openings in certain situations, but generally you are struggling because you're supposed to.

Vapora, this is more of a general ADC question, but how to carry and win with a lead and zero peel of your team? I am back to Iron, [ i got nearly to silver in not even a week xD and now im rock bottom again], just because idk how to carry... I had a hard losing streak an now gain less LP, but lose more. I know that you play around objectives and push lanes, but in games, where i am the only one fed in my team, while the enemy has 2 fed assasines or something like nocturne, i cant do anything :/ They all focus me first and my team doesnt shield anything for me, i cant even try to position, because i get noc ulted or killed by fed qyana as first and we lose. How to actually win, when its even possible, as the only fed player in the team, multiple fed enemies and getting no peel as ADC?? Thanks for the Video :)

[@VaporaDark]

You already know the answer on a theoretical level. Good positioning, good farm, etc. In order for me to help you, it would be good if you could provide some clips of where you feel your games are going wrong that you feel you couldn't have done more in, and I can tell you what you're doing wrong.

Ouff, but its so emberassing, cause ik ure a really good player and seeing my dumb plays. XD Thing is, i do see them rigth away after i die or seconds later. I watch so much content and as you say, that i know some theoretical aspecst of the game, but while i play, i suddenly forget these when im playing. I am a newer player and worst is my adhd and autism, the stupid it sounds. Here are some examples: - i ran straight into the enemy Champions and realized it at the pont when im already dead [i mean like, STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, VERY CLEARLY VISUAL ON THE SCREEN] - i hard pushed A wave when enemy was doing drake but i didnt saw it, even as the annoucer said, they had slain drake [ik u dont push lane when enemy is abouto get dragon, if i realised, i wouldve NEVER pushed] - i keep losing track of my champion and cursor, especially in teamfights. Its so bad sometimes, that i enter a teamfight, losing track of my champ right away and die - I have issues dodging skillshots, csing, trading and looking on the map at the same time. Its like... idk how to explain, that my brain dont even cant focus on multiple things, it only reads one detail in the whole picture. Its like looking at a tree and seeing only one leaf or going into a forest ans seeing only one tree. - Using sums wrong. I am so used to barrier that i would sometimes use cleanse, because i think i have barrier and wasting it :/ - i dont know what most items do in the game and if i would always hover over the scoreboard, it would take too long to figure it out, so its hard to adapt a buid into special situations. Not lookin or understanding enemies Items are probably a big reason i am losing fights aswell. There was this 2/7 Aatrox and i died to him having a big cs lead + Crescendum Ult, ooga booga damage and still died and idk why, he didnt had ult too and i think it was maybe because of an item he hield, idk...i lose most solo duels, because i just dont know what they do Talking about Champions.... i dont know what most enemy champions do, i dont know theyre abilities, theyre cooldown etc and it makes trading in lanes so fucking hard because idk what did i died to and why i got so much damage. I watch alot of videos from diffrent Champions to get the idea, but it isnt working for me... i only know some deadly core abilities, like blitz and naut hook, lr morgana root stuff... The same goes for some skins... died to this jinx rocket i couldve easly dodged and would, but it looked so different that i didnt realized it was her R You may ask yourself, why play ADC then [or even the game in general] OR EVEN APHELIOS. Its a fun game, especially with Phel and i dont want to give up, but it makes me feel sad that i cant improve even that i know the mistakes i do. I learned some stuff like wave management and got a little better at farming and apehlios kit, but thats literally it since last 5 months. I had 49% wr on aphelios past 240 games [All] and i think its quite decent FOR MY KIND but now it dropped hard to 45%[ All] and now being only at i think 40/42% in like 90 games. [Ranked only] It hurts.... ;^; sometimes i just wanna infernum R myself [Worst part that my account name is aphelios related because i dont WANT to play anything else and get better at HIM and only climbing with him, its so cringe losing hard with a name "like that" xD] Anyway, if u read all this, respect to that 🫡

@@Rikamizathe hard, sad truth is, its the combination of your autism and adhd. Riot created Iron for people with a handicap (which includes severe autism, adhd and so on) To explain it the best way possible, I’ll refer to what you wrote about having issues seeing your champion, mouse cursor, other champions, and situational awareness points, in your games. In all honesty, you might, in theory, be a good player, but because of the fact you cant act on these things, which are essentials in the game, kind of makes you… not good.. as much as it saddens me to say.. ALTHOUGH! You CAN work on it, and learn, and become as good as you are in theory! It takes time and effort, but you can for sure get there! Just focus on those things like, not running into melee range of the enemy, or losing track of your own champion or enemy or your mouse cursor. I belive in you! And im sure vapora does aswell! Stay happy! And make sure to have fun in the game!

[@Rikamiza]

​@@markusjens​@markusjens Yeah, i agree. Its so hard, i hate it, but i will try to learn it, it will just take longer for me. I have to make these things into a habit [making habits is also core therapy of people with the same issues] altrough, my adhd i was diagnosed with i think comes likely from my brain damage and dysfunction that was found on the mri scan, with some other found abnormality in the brain... so meds doesnt work for me. I REALLY want to be better and i think i COULD, i mean i learned aphelios as my FIRST champion and i got to understand him. Learning the basic fundamentals of the game shouldnt be that hard ig? I play since march, so i think i need more time on that sadly. Anyway, thank your for the kind words :)
