The Aphelios versus Draven matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Aphelios deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Draven deals mainly physical damage (97.19%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Aphelios is higher farming statistics (ranked 18th among role champions) (versus 23rd for Draven), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Aphelios player to maintain constant pressure on Draven, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
