Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Aphelios (8.4% pick rate, 10th most popular out of 30 ADC champions) versus Jhin (15.1%, 3rd place). These two bot lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Press the Attack + Triumph combination (50.9% win rate) plus optimal itemization Yun Tal Wildarrows, Infinity Edge, Lord Dominik's Regards, and Berserker's Greaves boosts your chances from 49.2% to 66.6% - potentially game-changing.

Survive and scale: Aphelios faces both matchup (49.20%) and farming disadvantages (6.56 vs 6.83/min). With a 0.27 CS/min deficit, prioritize safe farming and jungle assistance. Damage doesn't equal wins: Aphelios outputs more damage (810 vs 667/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Jhin: leads in both matchup win rate (50.8%) and KDA (2.80 vs 2.00, 4th vs 30th place). Aphelios players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Jhin as Aphelios (ADC)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Aphelios versus Jhin matchup as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Aphelios deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Jhin deals mainly physical damage (90.69%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Jhin, ranking 14th (versus 22nd for Aphelios) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Aphelios ADC versus Jhin ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Aphelios player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Jhin player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Aphelios tips:

  • Each of Aphelios' weapons have different strengths, so try to find the right situation for your current weapons.

Playing Against Jhin

  • Deadly Flourish only roots those hit by one of Jhin's basic attacks, traps, or allies within the last 4 seconds.
  • Jhin places invisible traps around the map. Watch where you step!
  • Jhin's attacks are quite potent, but he runs out of ammo after the 4th shot. Use this window to jump him and burst him down.
