His Q tornado does 9% of their maximum health per 100 ap in 1.5 seconds and also the impact has a 0.9 ap scaling [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Vandiril makes these builds look real fun. Excited to see how it does on Live.

I assume you will be buffing AP amumu as well?

As he can no longer do his job and 1 shot ADCs anymore even if he hits all 4 abilites.

Yet galio can do the same damage as amumus entire rotation with a single ability...

Pretty sure you Rioters are just Bond villains with buckets of popcorn watching live games when you approve releases like that...

Are these mostly diagnostic buffs to determine what balance direction Galio needs for the sake of accurately achieving his playstyle fantasy? I know the video is largely cherry-picking the best moments, but Q's damage appears to be is substantially stronger than it was before it was nerfed the first time. If so, I understand the idea behind it, but I'm concerned players would rather ban him over learning to deal with him in full AP glory.

BoilTheOilOct 25, 20173 votes

tbh all you need is a ROA and maybe another ap item to do a shit ton of dmg

JasiwelOct 25, 20173 votes

If true enough to be effective, that makes me even more concerned. It basically means the only way to 1v1 against Galio (as magic damage) is by forcing his Q, dodging it, and hoping you can do something meaningful before he uses E+W+Passive to chunk you down regardless. I feel like we've had enough champions in the past with the same play-patterns to denote how anti-fun it can be to play against a champion with high damage and enough survivability. Should I even mention how they buffed his Magic Resistance traits on W?

SpecterVonBarenOct 25, 20175 votes

It gained a flat 1% max health increase and a .15 increase to its scaling from a previous .75.

Why weren't people playing AP Galio before this?

JasiwelOct 25, 20174 votes

Q's percentile ticks have a bonus scaling per 100 AP as well, please correct me if I'm wrong. And a 15% boost (scaling with AP) in damage is huge, even if the base damage was lowered. That's not to mention a 30% boost on his passive ratio (which is almost free damage if he lands his E or W).

I'm not even worried about Full AP Galio, I'm worried about ~3k HP Galio soaking enough damage and dealing more than enough damage.

If he gets AP items, which most Galios don't get.

If you stand in the whole thing for the entire duration which may happen in bronze but no where else

Then you deserve to do more damage. I don't see what the issue is here. You sacrifice tankiness for damage. Galio's damage reduction doesn't really mean much when he doesn't have the raw defensive stats to back it up

They're finally buffing AP Galio. They're finally making it viable. It might be a tad high. But it's his main damage ability. And don't put him at risk of dying like his other abilities. It might need a little nerf tap afterwards but not that much.

JorenciceOct 25, 20178 votes

Wut.... dude. That's like 81% max health at 900 AP plus 1k base damage.

Thats a 3k+ nuke on a 4 second CD.

That needs a MASSIVE dumpstering. Not a lite tap.

Galios W now deals more damage than AP amumus full rotation and he has 4 damaging abilities.

SweedishGunnerOct 25, 201724 votes

When are you going to get 900AP on Galio? He's not Veigar for Christ sake.

Erractic EickOct 25, 201717 votes

Well, it's so easy!

If you have Ornn on your team so you can get a better Rabadon's on top of a full Mejai's, Luden's, Seraph's Embrace, and Morello's with another big AP item of your choice and you take all the masteries and runes that give you AP and you have Elder Drake Buff on top of Baron Buff and Blue Buff and three Fire Drakes and it's your birthday and you sucked a leprechaun's dick and you literally have ACTUAL DIVINE INTERVENTION, you can (and probably should be able to) one-shot someone without any bonus health or magic resist.

Kappa, just in case.

Starcraft243verOct 25, 20176 votes

But, you could just buy 2 items on kog to achieve the same.

Lol? And what in 90% of the time, when you don't have ornn in your team? I mean ornn support doesn't work, and galio is mostly played top rn.. even after ap buffs, he isn't that op. Will be getting nerfed probably, not much

KloqdqOct 25, 20172 votes

Galio mid and Ornn top. That or you could do Galio or Ornn jungle and the other top.

I just want to establish that I was joking, and I thought the "suck a leprechaun's dick" portion would really drive that one home.

One thing we need to keep in mind with Vandiril videos, is to keep track of his K/D/A. Vandiril, god bless his soul, makes videos showing the absolute extremes that thing's can get to, which may look broken af, but don't show the rest of the process.

Hell, if you know DarkMane, a common staple joke he does is showing the games he doesn't win, the fights he loses, the fuck ups that come with the rest of the game, not just the highlights.

DurzakaOct 25, 20178 votes

I just want to point out that the buffs arent THAT big. its a .15 ap scaling on his Q, as well as a bit more max hp (but the max hp also scales).

on top of that, the video is filled with him comboing people who are like 3 full levels below him already.

The guy that made the video likes to push builds to extremes. For the Demolish Rune, he ran double Warmogs + Cinderhulk + Stoneplate on Cho and Sion, and people freaked out.

According to champion.gg he only has a 47% win rate. He needs a buff. Now that worlds is over (almost), we don't have to worry about Galio being op anymore.
