I played my most HATED champion in the mid lane... and I destroyed everyone 

One thing about Zwag is that he's always gonna mention his hate for Aphelios every time he picks him

Everytime zwag plays aphelios he says “man I need to play this champ more”, then proceeds to go another year without playing :(

I have always loved Aphelios' kit design, but came to enjoy it even more for the simple reason that putting time into understanding it puts you at a significant advantage as a user to most other players by the widely accepted notion that his kit is too complex to be worth understanding. I've always explained him simply as "you have two guns equipped at all times. The one in hand determines how your AAs and abilities 'shoot', while your secondary weapon determines the secondary/tertiary effect of the ability". That may be oversimplified, but when you think about it, that's also the most accurate way of describing his kit without going into every 2-weapon combo in his arsenal. After understanding that basic premise of what determines your AA/ability style, it's just a matter of understanding what each gun does and how it interacts with other guns. What I struggle with understanding is why people aren't okay with trying to understand Aphelios' gun combos... but they're okay understanding specific champion-to-champion interactions. With people being able to know how to play out a teamfight when there are so many champions in the game to begin with, I really don't think having a very basic grasp of Aphelios' kit is that difficult. And disclaimer for the punks who like to extrapolate meaning where there isn't: I'm not high-ranked, nor am I saying Aphelios is the key to getting high rank, nor that understanding his kit makes you intellectually superior to people who don't. Maybe at most I'll call them lazy (the one who doesn't want to put effort to getting a basic understanding of his kit) but certainly won't call them bad at the game or anything like that

Aphelios: released over 3 years ago and still nobody knows what he does lol

All the aphelios mains definitely spent the whole video screaming techniques into their screen

I always like seeing zwag play Aphelios. I wanna see him learn the champ! Also, red gun goes through windwalls so it’s nice for dealing with samira.

3:50 He switched the gun type beautifully to miss the cannon. That’s the spirit.

I'm gonna be honest watching Aphelios gameplay feels very surreal, it feels like it's a completely different game. I don't think there's a champ as "unique" as Aphelios is in a way. I get the vibe that playing him feels isolating from all the other champs around you and even the game itself from how just different he is.

Some helpful tips on how to get and use the White weapon: - When you start the game, use Red first until it runs out, then Green, then the oldest. That should guarantee you get the Red White combo. So the order should be Red -> Green -> Purple -> Blue -> White -> Red, you want to use up Purple and Blue around the same time to get the Red/White combo right after, then you use Red and only auto attack with White when it has stacks. After the Red runs out, use the oldest weapon of the two for the remainder of the game. - You can see the gun order by hovering over the Hitman and the Seer icon where you level up. It shows the two weapons your holding and the next order of the other three. The Third weapon is the next in line once you run out of one of the two you are holding. Also, you can see the next gun in rotation in your ability bar next to your offhand weapon in the upper right of it. - White generates stacks when it is used as an off-hand weapon attack. So, Blue, Green, and Red will use White as an off-hand weapon attack when you Q with those three weapons, generating stacks per use of the off-hand weapon. - Generally, you don't want to use White as a turret while holding Red, only with Green and Purple. And you don't want to do regular auto attacks with White, only if it has stacks. Also, as you saw, the closer you stand to the target, the faster the White attacks. - The White stacks have a timer going until they disappear, attacking a champion resets the timer as well as gaining more stacks also resets it. Also, at minute 30:40, White had no stacks since the stacks ran out of time. Thats what it did not do damage. Ideally, you use Red Q to build up stacks then switch to White and auto.

For red+white gun you push Q with red as primary and then that generates a ton of chakrams then you immediately switch to white gun and auto and it yeets all the chakrams you’ve stacked up at them, it’s nuts

Day 26 of asking for a Lissandra video, no reason, I just like her and wanna see one.

14:50 "i dunno what I'm doing, I'm just gonna keep pressing q and w" - every Aphelios player

“Did Zwag get the first 6 CS?” No, he missed a caster minion Lose Streak: 4

Insert meme: I’ve no idea what I’m doing. I’m just watching aphelios like: press all buttons and discover what they do!

so happy to see an aphelios video from you again!! he may be ur most hated champ but hes my absolute favorite, so fun seeing you play him!!

Aphelios just activates my WoW neurons. *recalls wotk days, mashing a ton of keys in a semi random order*

not a champ for everyone, but glad you made a vid on him. my favorite moon boy

As someone who has a duo who regularly plays Aph, there's one thing I've learned. Red-White is his strongest combo for dueling. Definitely explains why Zwag likes it the most.

it is always nice to see zwag play your main man, loved the video

Being the aphelion main I am, looking at zwags gun rotation makes me want to crawl into a hole. And the way he carelessly uses all his ammo. Just… aurgh

Hot take but Aphelios has a great design. One of the best in the last couple of years.

Not Zwag doing everything wrong on Aphelios yet still getting kills, I love it.

let's go, i always repeat your aphelios videos bc he's my main so im excited

26:47 lmao it looked like Cho was struggling to sneeze

Phel is so fun when you learn the good orders for his guns, how to manage his ammo around how/when you want to fight, and the four gun combo.

so cute seeing zwag finally confused about champ's mechanic 🥺 i started watching just recently and this really warms my heart lmao

Thanks for the great vid Zwag!

after i dont know how many videos of him playing aphelios and me shouting at the screen form him to get the chakrams and walk up close.. he finally did it

The way zwag cycles his weapons made this video extra painful to watch

You hit Q with red weapon then once the stars are stacked up you hit ult, switch to white weapon and hug them. Sniper/flame thrower is great for team fights tho. Q - ult - auto with sniper and flames hit everyone and AoE out from each person hit.

Hey zwag if u want to have the most standard gun combo's try depleting the guns in this order red-green-purple-blue-red-white And afer that just deplete the oldest gun in your inventory Also for close range fights if you have the red and white gun combo try red q into white r for a large ammount of burst damage on your white auto's :)

25:35 My God. I absolutely love Galio's comment, Made me laugh so much 😂😂😂

Every Aphelios I've had in my games is either a mechanical genius or an absolute potato, there is no in-between.

Pro: Enemies don't know what you are doing con: You don't know what you are doing either

Thanks to put effort and time into playing aphelios, i wont ask again until next year!

yay finally zwag plays aphelios again

First time i got to see the stream... This took a while lmao

I recommend AP ezreal with the new static shiv, I was one shorting a nasus mid- late game

Aphelios' Red and Flamethrower always did me good

I like using the Scythe and Cannon combo, hitting them with cannon and snare them, then use the Scythe ability to heal and poke or Chakram and Flamethrower, Flamethrower Q on minions to gather Chakram stacks and then Galeforce in to use chakram auto atk burst and the Guma's infamous Scythe and Chakram, gather stacks with Scyhte Q then all in with Galeforce and Chakram

In proplay its "red and white dont fight" (for the enemies). I think the combo is that u press red-Q and stack shurikens and then switch to white where u have soo many shuricens and just deal so much dmg

I've never seen anyone play Aphelios before either, interesting champ, thank you

"Well, I'm full build." So was Varus haha

The “Red white lets fight” combo works when you Q with red the switch to white and auto

YES YES YES, FINALLY AN APHELIOS VID Edit: wanna see more aphelios vid

Still really enjoyed the vid and appreciate the Aphelios vids, Zwag!

Finally, you did it. I demand this one moths ago, i thought you have no worst champion in your list.

“He’s playin’ yas- Aphelios?!”

Zwag is this close to actually understanding how the white gun works. The day he red Q switch to white then auto consciously will be a glorious day.

Yes, finally playing aphelios ❤

At 9:25 if he pops the gravitum stack from calibrum ult that most likely would have killed galio.

No one can tell me if aphelios talked he wouldn’t say “you’ve been hit by a smooth criminal”

I've watched a lot of Zwag vids over the past year or so. My vid started with no sound cause my stupid headphones keeps disconnecting, and lined up perfectly until the rune page. LOL

Funny looking Shaco you got there

FINALLY APHELIOS, NEXT SERAPHINE PLS ❤

that single target infernum R tho xd

Try Yomuu into Collector, it actually annihilates squishies and gives you movespeed early, which Aphelios lacks. And LDR vs tanks later if the enemy team has any. Critality build is insane, trust me

the white gun attacks faster only the close you are to your target

I thought this was an Akshan vid at first.

"I dont know what I am doing I'm just pressing buttons" I see youre becoming an aphelios main?

we all know Zwag really really hates Aphelios 🤣 Just by reading the title, I already know which hero he's playing ..

After seeing this, I would never play Aphe in the future, never

30:39 Samira's W can deny your stacked shakrams...

I need a Shen vid in lane top lane pls

Time for another Aphelios video! Here goes!

The combo posibilitys of this charakter are crazy if you take bumerang as second vweapin yoz get stacs and than you can switch and atack with like 20 bumerangs😁

At 9:25, im pretty sure if he purple Q'd it would have killed. Sadge

PLEASE MORE APHELIOS ❤

I like playing Aphelios, the enemies ADC have 80% chance of don't know what I'm doing, me neither.

Can I see a vampire Draven build 🧐🧐

green purple is nice cause u can hit purple auto then root for green q+r and get guaranteed damage from super far and late game just one shot someone

At like 13:15 I on pins and needles waiting for the outplay on Kha and Samira... I thought for sure he had them. Haha.

I expected the title to go like "I played my most HATED champion in the mid lane... and I hated it"

AP vayne in the mid lane. With her new W AP scailing

The Varus kill top was BM.

only aphelios can kill me now said the varus before exploding

If Rito had any brains between their ears and would buy licenses left and right like Epic does with Fortnite, Aphelios would've already had his Metal Slug skin, complete with weapon change sounds.

Doesn't red gun attack faster the closer you are?

Red and white ready to fight

IDK if its just me but the most hated champs for me is the melee assassins and squishies that need to jump in the middle of a team fight. Primary example would be samira, nilah and quiana.

do the fastest move speed sivir!!!

APHELIOS GAMING

There are probably like 10 more comments like this but bro it goes red gun q into a lot of minions, enemies, turrets then swap to white gun aa that is now fully stacked and shred them from close distance. Blue gun aoe stacks it a bit too so blue q into white aa is also an option You do it right sometimes but often you swap to late and then the stacks are gone already.. Edit: And for Samiras windwall i think when you stand next to her fully stacked you avoid the wall the issue might be her using it while you try to stack up with red q

I watched the whole video and i still have no clue how to play this champion.

Dude if Zwag learned the champ and understood the gun rotations he would crush with Aphelios. This was the best game with the worst Aphelios mechanics ive ever seen 😂😂

30:40 Samira destroy All little shakrans: Zwag: TRASH!

... super interesting champion, crazy complex, but i guess few ppl can make it work ...

9:24 NO Q, NO KILL

Just bought a keyboard and large desk mat. Hope they look and feel as nice as they look in the pictures! Are the mats still signed?

Hey zwag, since ornn and volibear are coming to wild rift, can you play either ornn or volibear next please?

26:35 "Meeow"

Gun management is a big thing for aphelios

When you playing meepo?

Give him ability to convert mana to any ammo. Give it a counter effect to balance it:

I'd like to see you play bottom lane for a change ;)

the combo is Q with any other weapon and then auto with the crecendum so it does crazy damage upclose btw we want more aphelios' plz master

You are right. I hate this champ so much I can't allow myself to watch the full vid😮😅

You finally did it! 6th time the charm ;)

Lol Varus at the end "You fed him" ....Like bro you were literally breakfast lunch and dinner for Cho, Aphelios aside they woulda never stopped the fed cho either Haha, trying to blame galio

23:21 That's a samira ult
