Why does Syndra beat Galio in lane?

Honestly thought Galio basically countered AP. However, Syndra was still nearly full comboing me with only item 3165 , while i had item 3001 item 3111 ........

stayed the same even after i bought nearly all MR items.

Is Syndra healthy right now or does Galio just suck?

well considering she has true damage now and you had zero hp build (based on the items you showed )

better off playing a zed into her who can gap close and burst with an execute

other champs that are good vs her Lux Talon Xerath Katarina Fizz Leblanc

Syndra is broken and Galio sucks.

Your build plain sucked. Just having MR means nothing if you have like 1500 HP by the end of it all.

Also just because Galio is an AP counter doesn't he just wins for simply existing. I've beaten lots of Galios before as other ap champions, all I had to do was rush item 3135.

Galio does best against AP DoT mages, not burst. He wins by whittling the opponent down. As the others said, your lack of HP in your build didn't help the matter.

i also had item 3065 ... I was not aware of her true damage. Maybe i need to go re-read patch notes...

Well Galio is late game, his laning phase is kinda bad especially before he gets any mana so that's totally normal that syndra beat galio in lane

I understand that, im just saying for a Champion that is literally a MR tank, even with her Nomicon and true damage, i shouldnt be killed by her Combo. Yea, it should hurt, no doubt, but literally erase me like an ADC? No man, that is bullshit. lol. She isnt doing true damage alone, i should be blocking a good amount of her AP damage. I should not be getting erased. I cant even imagine playing a normal AP carry mid vs her. She could build a item 3092 and still Combo you if you build item 3001 first, and to me, that doesnt make any sense.

If you are even in lane, and you decide to play against your lane, AKA you build MR or ARMOR when your enemy builds DMG, I'd like to think that you would withstand that champion to a point. Sure you cant output the damage, but you can tank it. That is what you built for. Build paths are important, and maybe i am wrong, but that is what i was under the impression of. IF you build defense while the enemy builds offense (early) you will withstand then and be able to sustain in lane.

It would be like a Garen building item 3123 (without upgrading it) and an item 3031 against a Darius that builds a item 3143 and item 3047 and item 3044 and the Garen can q-w-e-r Him and kill him with that alone, 0-100. Lol.. In this scenario, i feel like yea, it will hurt, but darius will not die flat out from his combo, especially when darius is fighting back (he will heal a little, regardless of the item 3123 , just like Galio who, mind you not only will heal a little from his Bulwark (his e) but also gains MORE MR and ARMOR from using it. it increasing their Armor and Magic Resist by 30/45/60/75/90, which adds more defensive stats onto the items built).

SO, after all this, i still do not understand why she outputs so much damage. I was actually sad for the Galio rework, as i like him how he is, but after that game i concede and agree, yea maybe he does need changed, he cant keep up with these new mages who he was built to tank.

Galio is the next rework being released. So I'd assume this will change in the near future.
