It was still the top-mid-jungle trio charging in to open the way, but this time, Aphelios no longer had an absolute equipment advantage. Even without Kaisa flanking to split his attention, he had no choice but to fight while retreating.
This was what team fights looked like for an AD carry without mobility.
Aphelios definitely had damage, but if you were talking about consistent damage, that was something he truly could not provide.
At the very least, once Trundle threw his ultimate onto Sejuani and raised his club, Aphelios could only retreat whenever he saw Trundle and wait for the ultimate to end. Even Meiko's polymorph had to be used on him. Otherwise, their backline would be cleared by the club-wielding Brave Hero like some country's Princess—or rather, like Brave Hero Lance. Same difference.
Compared to Aphelios, who spent seven seconds positioning for three seconds of damage, Luo Zhen had it much easier.

Meanwhile, Aphelios was being crushed by Trundle and Aatrox,
