Galio has higher ratios on his normal abilities than Burst Mages' full kits

has 3.1 AP ratio on just his normal abilities + passive. For comparison, Veigar has 2.35 - 3.1 (depending on missing HP) and Syndra has 2.55 - 3.55 (depending on CDR/number of balls she has out) including their ults. I think Galio has the absolute highest AP ratios in the game once you factor his ult in and its ALL aoe. Thats not even factoring in the obscene % hp damage. Thats just his straight up ratios.

Kinda overkill even before the spammable 50% hp aoe, semi global ult, tons of CC, and a shit ton of damage reduction don't you think?

Well, he is a tanky MAGE, if you wanna build him like a mage he's gonna hurt but he will be squishy. Build him tanky and his base damage got nerfed.

Also veigar has infinitie AP scaling and syndra is ranged, not all mages are the same, ratio isnt everything

Riot's balance team seem to be 12 year olds and have no clue what balance is. Its been like this for about 2 years now.

Syndra has a point and click ult that requires invulnerability or untargetability to avoid, but Galios damage is not unnavoidable unless you get close enough and even then a dash can free you.

Her E is much longer range than Galio's so she can start a combo from further. Galio has shit tons of damage reduction yes, but he is a melee champ so you cant expect him to be as squishy and be viable.

The Veigar comparison is silly considering Veigar has 100s of ap from his passive.

:edit, didnt realise comparing basic abilities.
