Athenes / Windspeaker and Galio

Could they be triggered by Galio's shield since item 3174 is core item on him ? I find myself accumulating useless charges on him which is a shame since that's a must build item for Galio.

It makes no sense they aren't triggered by them.

Or at least for clarity, don't call Galio's W a "shield" in it's text.

I would think so. Just fyi, Galio is a boy :)

I highly doubt it. His shield doesn't actually absorb any damage, it just gives the recipient some defensive stats so it doesn't trigger most things that occur on shielding a target. I agree that calling it a shield is very misleading and needs to be changed.

Both item 3174 and Windspeakers say they are triggered by "shields", Galio 's W says "shields a friendly champion"

I think it would make sense for them to be triggered by it, but if Riot considers they don't, at least they should change his W's text for clarity.

galios W is not a shield, its a buff. so they have no interaction. there is no synergy.

Bulwark - Cooldown: 13 - Cost: 60 - Range: 800

Galio SHIELDS a friendly champion for 4 seconds, increasing their Armor and Magic Resistance by 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90. Each time the unit suffers damage, Galio is healed for 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 (+30% of ability power) (-20% healing for each consecutive hit).

At least they should change the wording for clarity.

they've stated in the past multiple times, a shield is that gray bar that covers your HP. consider yourself informed

So you are saying that when they say "Galio SHIELDS a friendly champion", they don't REALLY mean it?

If they use the same word in multiple instances of the game, they should mean the same thing.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you chief, we're just trying to tell you how it is really working right now. As I said before, I 100% agree its misleading and needs to be changed so that it's more clear.

Oh, yeah, we agree that it works that way, i just made the thread to purpose Riot to either make it proc them or change the text for clarity.
