How to Beat Twitch as Aphelios (ADC)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Aphelios deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Twitch deals mainly physical damage (72.60%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Twitch, ranking 16th (versus 23rd for Aphelios) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.4 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Aphelios ADC versus Twitch 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 Twitch player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

Aphelios tips:

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

Playing Against Twitch

  • Twitch is fragile. Work with teammates to focus on him when you're able to catch him out of Camouflage.
  • Spell Shields won't block the damage from Deadly Venom, but they will block the effects Twitch can trigger with it.
  • If you suspect Twitch has left the lane, let your teammates know that Twitch is ''MIA.''
