Gonna assume nobody's gonna be too surprised about that one.

That's a really big nerf. Let's see where this leaves him.
Shouldn't have had to happen in the first place, but glad it has.
Are we not gonna talk about how this actually nerfed Galio's Q from even the amount BEFORE the patch?
His new Q has effectively: 60/95/130/165/200 ⇒ 50/80/110/140/170 RATIO 0.75 ability power ⇒ 0.8 ability power % MAXIMUM HEALTH DAMAGE OVER TIME 2% target’s maximum health per half-second ⇒ 1% target’s maximum health per 100 ability power, per half-second I agree his Q was too strong, but this kind of feels like a knee jerk reaction.
imho they should have left the .9 ap scaling. It was the percent max health that was the problem
You know is funny. I just had a game with a full ap galio.
he got harassed out of lane so fast it was pitiful. not sure why everyone complained. AP galio was squishy as hell.
Just a thought, why hasn't anyone put forward the idea for having him scale EXCLUSIVELY off MR/hp? AP scaling in the past has proven to be a balance nightmare on champs that haven't been exclusively defined as mages or the like; so why all the AP scaling on this guardian whose sole purpose seems to be a pure deterrent to magic? His kit makes absolutely zero sense on a mage when over half of it puts him directly in the middle of everything with no way out.
