Aphelios vs Sivir Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the ADC lane: Aphelios the marksman, Sivir the marksman. The sample behind this page is 1,886 games from patch 16.13.1, and Aphelios wins 53.2% of them. Being 3.2 points clear of the 50% line makes Sivir a favourable draw for Aphelios.
This is a ranged mirror in terms of reach — 550 versus 500 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
A missed Moonlight Vigil from Aphelios hands Sivir the window to land Ricochet. Then it becomes Moonlight Vigil against On The Hunt, and the one still holding it sets the terms.
Shared damage type here — physical for Aphelios as well as Sivir. Aphelios opens on 600 health and 26 armour, Sivir on 600 and 30. By level 18 that becomes 2334 health and 97 armour for Aphelios against 2368 and 98 for Sivir. Base attack damage is 55 against 60, so Sivir wins the raw auto-attack exchange. There is a movement gap too: 325 for Aphelios, 335 for Sivir.
Riot scores Aphelios at 10/10 for difficulty against 4/10, and that gap alone drags on the average. The Aphelios versus Sivir numbers rebuild from current Emerald and above games.
