Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Aphelios, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Aphelios wins 54.5% of 178 games (95% range 47.2–61.6%).
  • Both champions' overall Bot win rates predict 50.3% for Aphelios; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Aphelios usually wins the lane: 446 gold ahead of Vayne at 15 minutes on average (173 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Aphelios players pick Bloodthirster far more often against Vayne: 11.4% of their other Bot games, 17.4% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Aphelios and Vayne played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Aphelios's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

What Aphelios Changes Against Vayne

Choices Aphelios players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Bot games.

Best Aphelios Build vs Vayne

Usual Aphelios build (Bot)

76.5% win rate · 34 games

Against Vayne

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 15 of 123 Aphelios games against Vayne carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Aphelios's standard build instead.

  • Aphelios usually completes The Collector first, at 11.0 min (median of 89 games).
  • Vayne usually completes Blade of The Ruined King first, at 13.8 min (median of 75 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > E > W — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
