Finally someone caught on to it. Also just here to clarify one thing as an aphelios one trick. The reason that draw your sword is so good on aphelios is because of the way most of his abilities work, allowing you to essentially auto from a fixed distance instead of range dependant (calibrum marks, severum onslaught, infernum Q) you essentially get the DYS bonuses without the drawbacks as you are able to make more than enough use of it's stats without diminishing range with the use of your abilities, which essentially means if and built correctly you'll always have won the fight before the enemy gets close to you even with the short range. Props for recognizing the importance of pen stacking on the champ, dirk start was on point. As a general tip tho you mostly wanna essentially have IE crit amp, get that crit chance to 100% somehow and then have your pen stacking work in favor of that since mid-late game aphelios deals no damage without crits. So ideally you wanna be looking at some crit prismatic (hamstringer preferably since it procs on sev Q crits), IE and LDR as core items (although one funny thing that I recommend trying atleast once is going serylda's instead if you got lethality anvils, you can easily achieve 50% pen if u got lucky that game) Also yeah arena Aphelios plays like a caster most of the time, really liked you caught on to these things. Anyways, that's it for the backseat comment (sorry), would love to see more Aphelios gameplay :)

When you take draw your sword, you become melee, so you get the melee buff for scoped, it doesn’t increase the stats that you “lose”. Pretty funny interaction 🙂

You make me laugh really hard, I love your sense of humor, your creativity and the fact that you are not afraid to be yourself. I especially enjoy when you curse or make some really strong jokes. I haven't seen such a strong person in a really long time. Hope you are doing well. Also, the best thing about you is that you are really supportive of people you are playing with. If someone starts some topic you dont find really interesting you dont cut it in unpleasant way like most people do. You just try to go along with it and add something interesting you think about. Thats simply wonderfull

Wait, is "Draw Your Sword" a bit bugged? You had 999 HP before picking it. Then your HP should've gone to around 1349 HP, but it went to 1220 HP, which I thought was only a 25% increase, but if it WERE a 25% increase, your HP would've been 1249, approximately. And that bonus that you should get should've been even higher because of all the range you lost. Or is it just bonus HP? Which also makes no sense, since you have no bonus HP, you only had the Dirk to start off with. xd
