League of Legends: Aphelios’s Designer (Riot Stashu) Gets A Taste of His Own Medicine

Stash ‘Stashu’ Chelluck is an Associate Champion Designer working at Riot Games since 2014.

He was a Game Design Intern for Riot Games back in summer 2013, then got hired in 2014 as an Associate Champion Designer.

Stashu designed Qiyana and Aphelios. He also took a big part in the Rework of Fiora, Vladimir, Talon, Evelynn, and Cassiopeia

A couple of days ago on January 22, a short clips of the Aphelios’s creator playing Ezreal bot lane against an enemy Aphelios was uploaded on Youtube by the enemy Aphelios player.

Ironically, not only Rioter Stashu but also his 4 teammates might all be Riot staff since 4 of them have the same Club Tag. Must be nice casually meeting 5 rioters all in the same game and giving them a taste of their own medicine…

At least we know Daniel Orive is EndlessPillows as Nami (who designed Pyke, Neeko, Yuumi, Xayah/Rakan).

Stashu mentioned that he will fix Aphelios on Monday after the match, but we don’t know which Monday yet…

Some hilarious comments we found along with the video:

Gabbagundalf on Youtube commented: “I don’t want to believe that a Riot Games employee watched this in testing and thought to themselves ‘this is okay’.”


006ran1 said: “Stashu thought he was safe but then he realized he was within 3000 range of aphelios and that means he’s an easy kill. I don’t think those 200+ years of collective experience helped him to be honest with ya.”

Gabriel da Universidade: “Bro, who tf designed that champion-…. oh right”
