Aphelios Cooldowns with Ability Haste

Ability haste lowers every cooldown by the same rule: cooldown × 100 / (100 + haste). 50 haste cuts cooldowns by a third and 100 haste halves them. Here are Aphelios's max-rank cooldowns at common haste values — drag the slider to try your own build.

Ability (max rank)	0 haste	50 haste	100 haste
