How to Play with Aphelios as Master Yi in LoL

Overall, Master Yi sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Aphelios. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Aphelios helps Master Yi perform worse in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Master Yi is an ally to Aphelios, he gets a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This change may signal that Aphelios doesn't help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Master Yi is played together with Aphelios on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Aphelios. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Aphelios.

Additionally, when Master Yi plays with Aphelios on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Aphelios does a decent job of protecting Master Yi during team fights.
