Galio or Viktor

GayF0rGraves··1 votes·726 views

So since I have 4800 IP ready I wanted to get a new champ. But Im not sure if I should get Vik or Galio. I saw Vik a few times and I think he looks like a pretty cool champ. But I'm kinda interested in Galio too but since nearly no one plays him I'm not sure about him. So what are you're opinions in Terms of fun?

Galio's a little more mobile and a lot tankier, but is a little less safe early. He excels against double AP comps, but he's not bad versus AD comps, either. I recommend him, but it depends on your playstyle.

Viktor if you think you can handle the sexiest sexbot of your existence. Galio if you feel like trolling an LB Refer to this guide if you're playing Viktor: http://www.solomid.net/guide/view/17919-viktor-build-guide-apc-fighter-by-pastoulio

Viktor is quite a bit of fun and can really blow people up unexpectedly. His E can get truly terrifying and his Q and R can finish off enemies that your E doesn't.

Galio can deal a surprising amount of damage while staying tankie thanks to his passive but its very hard to land his ult without flash. In his current state he's very situational and overall a bit underpowered, hopefully Riot gives him an upgrade soon.

Viktor is at the top of my "to buy" list and I've owned Galio for a while but don't play him very much.

Both have their ups and downs, I've played both and honestly I'd have to say Viktor if you want to have fun stomping people who don't think he deals damage, I remember a game awhile ago where I was Vik against yasuo, for 20 minutes I was 1v1ing the yasuo with no problems to the point where the jungler and support had to camp my lane, my first kill against Yasuo had him say "WTF YOU DEALS DAMAGE?" which just made my day so much. Viktor deals a billion damage as long as you're able to consistently hit your E, but after awhile that becomes second nature, people underestimate him and lose games for doing so.

Galio on the other hand is also insanely fun when played as support, just rush item 3069 and item 3800 pop both actives while chasing, get 600 movespeed, walk into the enemy team and ult, no one expects the insane speed those 2 items give you so you can easily get in and ult people, feels so satisfying too, but his early game feels really weak until you get your ult, late game engages though will win you the game.

It all depends on what you want to do, do you want to dominate the lane and become a team fighting monster who requires good positioning to not get killed? then go Viktor. Do you want to play safe early game and win the game for your team later on by flash ulting into the enemy team and laughing as they all die around you? then Galio.

Galio is really fun, but his auto animation isn't the best.

Viktor all the way, but when did he become 4800?

As for fun, I'd say viktor. nothing beats a death ray, just walking up going ZAP then walking away. imagine a vel'Koz ultimate on your E that doesn't root you down.

I like lasers so I say viktor.

full MR Galion is hilarious against Champs like LeBlanc, katarina, and ahri. they can't burst you and your passive gives you a lot of damage too.

Galio is very fun to play when you execute him right, his neesh is very telagraphed, if he runs at you you know he has ult... and knockups and stuns stop his ult dead. but very fun still.

Viktor i love to death, if he is up against a non mobile champ that can NOT blink, he accels, and enemies that clump also makes him shine. an easy upgraded w r e q is some serious damage. However champs like zed and ahri and leblanc screw him over and they are in a lot of matches now a days.

overall i would say galio is a fun character that can be a great cc champ and utility support, mid, or even top laner. Vs. viktors high burst and carry potentil with lots of aoe abilities.
