Aurelion Sol vs Aphelios Matchup Summary

The Aurelion Sol vs Aphelios matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 19 recent matches analyzed, Aurelion Sol wins with a 52.6% win rate compared to Aphelios's 47.4%, giving Aurelion Sol a 5.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Aurelion Sol controls the early laning stage, but Aphelios outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Aurelion Sol needs to press advantages before Aphelios reaches their power spikes, while Aphelios should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Aurelion Sol leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Aurelion Sol has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Aphelios's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Aurelion Sol dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 77.8% win rate — a 55.6 percentage point lead over Aphelios. This lopsided early game means Aurelion Sol can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Aphelios is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 70.0% win rate — 40.0 points above Aurelion Sol. Extended games heavily favor Aphelios, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Aurelion Sol must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Aphelios reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Aphelios survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
