Galio will join Sivir, Azir, Shen, and Rek'sai

The Ecdysiast·Mar 7, 2017·57 votes·3,021 views

On the list of champions who were too strong in pro play and got nerfed for everyone else because of it.

That is, after a couple months and 3 rounds of nerfs.

Kind of? That's putting it lightly imo.

That was a typo. Dr Sona x Rubick meant to say "king." [slayer-jinx-wink]

i just feel bad for Pantheon now because of how slow his ult is vs Galio

AlienPrimateMar 8, 201724 votes

Pantheon can go anywhere he wants though, he doesn't need an ally target.

SpoofghoulMar 8, 201715 votes

the real question is what happens when you target an airborne pantheon with galio's ult

AmazoXMar 8, 20172 votes

Imagine targeting Shen when he teleports in his last frame second and going with him as Galio. Super awesome.

RaoulMar 8, 20176 votes

wont happen, you would go to where shen was WHEN you cast the ability, not where hes going to be when you land, so if you target shen before he teleports, you just end up alone in some lane...

AmazoXMar 8, 20172 votes

I know, Just thought what if there was a bug that would let that happen. :)

OleandervineMar 8, 20173 votes

If you target an airborne Pantheon, you will come down where Pantheon first went up, since Pantheon doesn't move when he ults, he just goes up, then comes down in a different spot.

MelledoneusMar 8, 20172 votes

You can't target an airborne Pantheon.

TeslynMar 8, 20171 votes

now i must wait for the patch. want to see if i can click on the icon of pantheon while he is in the air and where would galio go?

MelledoneusMar 8, 20172 votes

Nowhere. You can't target untargetable units. Being a Shen main, I know this very well.

The EcdysiastMar 9, 20172 votes

Since Galio only goes to where the ally is at the time of cast, that means he will launch into orbit and never come down.

TusutakiMar 8, 20174 votes

Hey remember when they nerfed Panth Jung because he was able to get drag early but still have champs who can accomplish the same task and also have reworked Warwick be able to get a 3min Drag at lvl 2?

Remember when they also nerfed his E making him fall off late game even harder and sooner? Good times man.

The EcdysiastMar 9, 20171 votes

I still want to know what Dragon's basic attacks are. They aren't basic attacks, because Pantheon can't block them. They aren't spells, because Nocturne can't block them.

Draw My FursonaMar 9, 20171 votes

they do pop spellshields, though.

i've sivir spellshielded them before, quite consistently.

Leblancs BoobMar 8, 20177 votes

Everyone will get downvoted for saying this. Galio's new kit significantly lacks weaknesses.

Big LincolnMar 8, 20173 votes

he gets shit on by AD DPS champs, possibly harder than any other tanky champ will

Omen46Mar 8, 20172 votes

does buying armor not help him at all?

Big LincolnMar 8, 20172 votes

his damage reduction on W scales much worse with armor than it does with MR, and the shield doesn't help him at all vs physical damage

for example just finished a game w/ him before pbe went down again, 195 armor and 190 MR, I had 11% extra damage reduction from MR and only 4% from armor, I believe

Omen46Mar 8, 20171 votes

...why does a tank need natural damage reduction now? Isn't suppose to be the items and play style to make the game and not the champion select? And his purpose has been to HARD counter mages hasn't it? If That's the case than anything less than a 5 man perfect match set up is kinda worthless. Then the plan would be to balance all lategame earlygame and midgame champions with perfect allies to fit with it and some hard counters to the other champions selected. Or is it that now we're going into another series of intense hard carry champions. I'll tell you something funny, to small to be a statistic, but out of the 6 games i've played with Garen I have won all 6, wether on aram or on rift. I decided to mess around and against Yasuo i rush built item 3031 . Then got a kill on both him and the jungle. he flashed his m6 icon. i'm still under m2...

sorry for whining. I'm having trouble finding something to enjoy and not complain about. now even the tanks are finding ways to 1 shot opponents.

The EcdysiastMar 8, 20172 votes

I already made a thread speculating this, but I think damage reduction is going to be added to EVERY tank in the tank update. This'll be to counter the abuse of penetration items without actually nerfing the penetration items. And then next update will be to marksmen again, etc. etc. in circles.

AmazoXMar 8, 20171 votes

Wouldn't it be Vanguards after Divers? Or Enchanters & then probably Juggernauts again and then maybe in pre-season 9 we'd see Marksmen update again lol.

The EcdysiastMar 9, 20171 votes

Vanguards are first up. They decided to push back Divers for Aatrox's sake.

I just wish they'd undo the needless juggernaut buffs. The only one that was a success was Darius, and after everyone else got nerfed and he didn't get touched, he's still sitting at the same success he had before the "update."

Sire HippingtonMar 9, 20172 votes

and yet you can havr 55% damagereduction for up to 5.5sec on a not as huge cd, makeing you more resilent vs physical dps than prettymuch any other champ he doesn't get countered by armorpen. With his curret kit and numbers, he puts Mao to shame in both, utillity and tankiness...

Also, his anti magic damage kit allows him to put more gold into armor/health while staying really tanky vs magic damage.

NymzoMar 9, 20171 votes

Am I the only one who is seeing a contradiction in his kit?

I mean Galio is strong against mages but is bad against ad, right?

Yet he still has his taunt, the only form of cc that doesn't cripple ad champions all that much (aside from forcing them to focus him obviously).

Of course, taunt affects ap champions too but... still

Let's be honest, Camille was a mistake of a release.

RalanrMar 8, 20175 votes

Showing us that fighters can get really fucking dumb.

Over InnsmouthMar 8, 20176 votes

Camillee's core problem is that she's basically Irelia with a modernized kit, and Irelia is still one of the worst designed Fighters in the game.

Which is a shame because I absolutely adore Camille as a character.

The EcdysiastMar 8, 20173 votes

They're not. And yes, Galio will be. That's my point.

He's going to be abused in pro play, and Riot will nerf him for it.

Eh sivir is utter dog shit she is a wave clear bot who can speed up real carries that make picks; as an ADC she is absolutely dogshit.

or are you just dogshit at playing her? harass with Q and get mana back with E, which is super easy because idiot mage supports like brand will just keep throwing shit at you for free mana, she's got a good winrate too, she's not bad at all
