Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Aphelios (8.4% pick rate, 10th most popular out of 30 ADC champions) versus Sivir (10.6%, 8th place). These two bot lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Optimize for consistency: Press the Attack paired with Triumph (52.3% win rate, 11.4% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Yun Tal Wildarrows > Infinity Edge > Lord Dominik's Regards with Berserker's Greaves delivers 70.8% win rate against Sivir.

Win through macro: Aphelios takes the matchup (51.37%) despite falling behind in CS (6.56 vs 8.44/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Quality over quantity: Aphelios wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (810 vs 875/min), the 51.4% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Aphelios wins the matchup (51.4%) despite a lower KDA (2.00 vs 2.60). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Sivir as Aphelios (ADC)

While statistically Aphelios is slightly stronger than Sivir as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. 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. Sivir deals mainly physical damage (95.84%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Sivir, ranking 1st (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 (2.6 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Aphelios ADC versus Sivir ADC matchup

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 Sivir, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Aphelios tips:

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

Playing Against Sivir

  • Boomerang Blade costs a lot of mana to cast, so dodging it sets Sivir back. If it hits you on the way out, avoid its path on the way back.
  • Sivir is a powerful pushing champion, so leaving her unattended in a lane for too long will often result in your turrets being destroyed.
  • When laning against Sivir, it is possible to throw off the timing of her Spell Shield by faking an advance, then backing off.
