Galio: Winds of War Needs It's Damage Nerfed

Thuban·Jun 30, 2017·7 votes·686 views

It's ridiculous. Ultimate level damage pre 6 on a 2 second cooldown. Can't even get out of it fast enough. Pre 6 its doing 400 damage in two ticks.

TORNADO ZONE DAMAGE 45/60/75/90/105 (+0.45 ability power) over 1.5 seconds ⇒ 30/40/50/60/70 (+0.6 ability power) over 1.5 seconds

they lowered the base damage on this patch forcing him to get AP so he is less tanky therefore has much more of a chance to be abused and punished early

also they lowered his base armor as well BASE ARMOR 27 ⇒ 24

therefore making him less tanky, have less base damage on Q and forcing him to build ap to do the same damage he was doing

ANY QUESTIONS ?

oh do you even run MR runes vs galio ? chances are no...

He still has damage reduction which is... fucking damage reduction. And his % on his Q, which means he still too much free damage. I have many tanks that only DREAM they could have everything Galio does.

Sion and Poppy do just fine. Maybe other tanks need to get modernized.

damage reduction on what his w taunt ?

or the passive magic shield he gets for building MR

oh no a tank that can tank damage when will riot stop ruining the game!!!

but what about shen? global ult to save teammates (sheilds teammate while ulting "reducing damage to teammate" , create power moves on maps... ganks after using an ability gets a SHIELD based on his HP to reduce damage he takes

his Spirit's Refuge Shen primes his Spirit Blade for 2 seconds, causing it to project a protective zone around it for 1.75 seconds if he or an allied champion move nearby, causing allies in the zone to dodge attacks. which basically blocks/sheilds damages

and his gap closer/escape taunt

yes he is a tank... he shoulds TANK damage.. he should NOT be able to be able to deal as much damage as a NON tank in the process

he needs to sacrifice something.. you either get damage or tanky... you cant just get both with no drawbacks

oSEXYPLATYPUSoJul 1, 20171 votes

yet they reduced the base damage on his Q and increased the AP scaling making him get ap to make it as effective

and they lowered his base armor

does every one ignore this ?

and they increased the ap ratio on his ult once again hinting at you to get AP to be effective

RalanrJul 1, 20173 votes

He is also a TOPLANER and thus actually does have to have kill potential so his lane is actually interactive.

Understand you're saying before talking trash. He deals absurd ammounts of damage with his Q alone. He was given his passive in order for him to be able to lane top, yet he mostly uses his Q to wave push because it deals so much damage and costs so little for what it accomplishes.

I've already seen the pattern Riot's following with him: they're gonna nerf small things for a few months until the patch comes where he's destroyed (and thank god for that).

A proper nerf, reduce his fucking % scallings.

So tired of the same old stupid argument of "HURR DURR BUT HE JUS GUT NURFD"

Wrong. Those are bruisers/juggernauts.

Tanks should have CC on top of their tankyness, not % damage

they dont build damage typically.. so having % damage is how they are a threat while being a tank

how hard is this to understand

and 2ndly i said ALL CHAMPS DO DAMAGE SHOW ME 1 WHO DONT DO DAMAGE

i didnt say show me a tank that dont have % damage

you sir are clearly baked on something

Why should they be a threat because of damage when they already have CC? The only time they should have so is when it is very telegraphed (Sion's Q) or very delayed (Sejuani's E, Sion's W).

Galio's is neither AND he has % damage reduction (a tapped W used reactively) AND he has a magic shield. So he's safe while farming, poking and short trades, only being vulnerable at all in prolonged 1v1 fights.

So fucking tired of that excuse.

win rate by patch for top lane

patch 7.9 48.52% patch 7.10 49.02% patch 7.11 48.02% patch 7.12 48.74% patch 7.13 44.46%

average over the last 5 patchs of a 47.75% win rate

and now he has had his base damage on Q reduced and AP ratio increased forcing him to go ap to do damage

also change the ap ratio on ULT

reducing his base armor

meaning he is being forced into more AP then full tank to do same amount of damage and while having less base armor making him over all weaker as a tank

but lets keep crying over him plz

Galio's Q is pretty slow honestly, and his other two primary abilities are telegraphed as fuck. W instant isn't even that strong unless it's to catch a low health straggler.

i love people who constantly bitch and moan over the champs in the game.

this one is about galio with this dude from EUW who has had his crumpet and tea ruined by galio even though he ( galio ) has had a sub 50% win rate for over 5 patches

i just commented on a thread before replying here of someone starting the hateful circle jerk of tears cuz nunu has top win rate in jungle

so it seems people just goes and look at stats of win rates or who ever they cant beat and post shit post about them and riot and game balance with out any insight of how or why the champ is strong... but on the same notion someone points out how much lee sin is op blah blah blah and you show he has a win rate sub 50% people says thats still to strong cuz of his pickrate...

i for one am unbias towards champs and dont let my hate/rage of that champ influence my argument for or against them... considering every one /the majority is bitching about a champ i typically argue for the champ and offer other points people refuse to leave out of their propaganda

see what electing the troll TRUMP to president has done to society they constantly tweet /comment nonsense and then cry fake news when they are called out on it lol

This is the tank that deals 7% of the opponent's HP as magic damage without condition Galio

Literally all the others have contionals attached to their % damage or high damage in general. Galio does not.

Also, Gragas is not a Tank.

funny thing about galio as you cry over him

he has had a sub 50% win rate since patch 7.9 (data on two different sites. ) with an average win rate of about 48% since patch 7.9

if he was so strong and over baring then why does he suck SO BAD

I made a post similar to this and got downvoted to hell because I have Riven in my name and the boards is made up of 90% low gold and below and get triggered as soon as they see the name Riven lol. Anyway yeah the damage of it is ridiculous, it makes no sense it how it can one shot wave while building full tank.
