Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Sivir (10.6% pick rate, 8th most popular out of 30 ADC champions) versus Aphelios (8.4%, 10th place). These two bot lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Surprising upset: Despite Sivir's higher tier rating, Aphelios wins 51.4% of encounters. This suggests Aphelios's kit specifically counters Sivir's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Sivir's impressive 52.2% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Aphelios presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Lethal Tempo + Presence of Mind combination (52.9% win rate) plus optimal itemization Yun Tal Wildarrows, Infinity Edge, Navori Flickerblade, and Berserker's Greaves boosts your chances from 48.6% to 62.7% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Sivir's superior farming (8.44 vs 6.56/min, 1st among ADC) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 1.88 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Sivir outputs more damage (875 vs 810/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Sivir maintains better KDA (2.60, 6th place vs 30th for Aphelios), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Aphelios as Sivir (ADC)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Sivir versus Aphelios 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, Sivir deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Aphelios deals mainly physical damage (93.27%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Sivir is higher farming statistics (ranked 1st among role champions) (versus 22nd for Aphelios), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Sivir ADC versus Aphelios ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Sivir player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Aphelios 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.

Sivir tips:

  • Sivir's Boomerang Blade returns to her after reaching the max range, so you can shift position to hit enemies who would otherwise have evaded it.
  • Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.
  • Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.

Playing Against Aphelios

  • Each of Aphelios' weapons have different weaknesses, try to exploit the ones that work best for your champion. Watch out for the purple Gravity gun, it can root you.
