Riot, can you add some clarity to Galio's W?

I played him on ARAM today and bought Athene's, thinking "oh well when I deal damage I'll get stacks and then shield my allies and heal them". But apparently Galio's W isn't classified as a shield, even though it kinda looks like one. And actually, when you click the ability in the champion's page, it says "shields an ally Champion...". Can you add a line to the tooltip that states the ability doesn't count as a shield, so that people like me don't waste gold on Athene's?

Makes sense, it's more of a buff, but you should get bonus's from the healing tho right?

Rather than adding a line, the tooltip just needs to be slightly reworded. Since Galio's W doesn't behave at all like a shield, changing it to "Galio increases an ally champion's Armor and..." would probably be simplest.

Yeah, don't need to add a line, just clarity. Whatever form that comes in.

Galio shields for 0, but it increases Armor and Magic resist a certain amount.

item 3174 "Healing or shielding another ally consumes the charges to heal them, up to the original effect amount"

Therefore 0 shield is the original amount, so the heal can't go over 0.

Just proper reading comprehension.
