Galio on Aram map- Athene's didn't trigger a heal when shielding allies. I'm a long time player of Galio and the odds of this battle to require such an item as Athene's, was a melee heavy team. Knowing Galio, and being a long time player with him, I chose to mix the build up some starting out. The link provides current build I'm using. shielding mastery (Windspeaker's blessing being my favorite mastery with Galio). Pretty sure this wasn't a fluke as the whole game the only way Athene's triggered was through heal spell being chosen (over barrier which I normally choose with this mastery also). Galio Just would like to see combination work before Galio's big rework :(

Oh and I'm pretty sure I got reported this game for this build........ I explained to look at my Galio build history before reporting :)

Unfortunately, this is not a bug. Though the ability description says it is, Galio's W is not coded as a shield, but rather an armor/mr buff. Shields in League are defined as abilities that provide bonus temporary HP, which Galio's W does not.

Because of this, it does not work with Athene's passive. The "shield" is also not boosted by the passives of Forbidden Idol, Mikael's Crucible, Ardent Censer, or Windspeaker's Blessing, nor does "shielding" an ally proc the armor/mr buff of Windspeaker's Blessing. Though Galio's self heal associated with his W does work with them
