Future Galio is in need for SERIOUS nerfs before going live

If anybody hasnt already checked his stats and ratios, go here. http://www.surrenderat20.net/p/current-pbe-balance-changes.html#galio2

im going to give a short and simple version of his AP ratio abilities and max base. Not including ratios for bonus MR for ease.

Passive: .4 AP AOE + 100 Q: (windblast) .6 AP + 200 + (tornado) .45 AP + 100 + 9% enemy max HP W: Passive 23% max HP magic shield every 12 seconds not taking dmg E: .7 AP AOE + 260 R: .7 AP AOE + 350

So how much in total damage are you able to do in one full rotation?

AP Ratio .4 + .6 + .45 + .7 + .7 = 2.85 AP

Sounds pretty big right? What if I were to tell you that you can easily deal over 1k damage with an easily obtainable 350AP from ratios alone? Now lets look at base damage.

Base Damage (assuming tornado is hitting someone with 2k hp) 100 + 200 + 180(tornado against 2khp) + 260 + 350 = 1190 base

That is over 1k base damage ALONE. Even without the 9% max hp damage it's still over 1k.

So in full rotation of his damaging abilities with only 350 AP which is easily obtainable, you are able to EASILY deal over 2k in damage. Friendly reminder that THIS IS ALL AOE AND FILLED WITH CC. And thats not even including his bonus MR ratios. Just with his Passive and E combo you have 1.1 APR and 360 base damage. Using the same AP (350), thats a total of 745.

What this Galio is is a combination of Shen's defensive utilities and Fiddlestick's damage. Regardless if they go with the Shen nerfs and release Galio untouched, then there will be literally no reason to play Shen over Galio at all. At this point it would be better option to just reverse Shen's rework as the new items and keystones would benefit the old him greatly.

Are you kidding me? Old Galio did a lot more than New Galio, and he was tankier, too.

You assume he lands all the tornado damage though, and there's no guarantee there.

Its easily to land the tornado with his E knockup or taunt. Thats not including if you have Rylais which would slow them to better receive the full duration. It is EASY to deal 1+ APR without using his ult.

At most someone is only going to build item 3027 and item 3001 for ap, the rest is tank. So only looking at the ap is a very bad way of looking at him.

Also with no pen you need to reduce those damage values based on MR.

ap buffs + base nerfs*

you forget he cant use his ult to deal damage to begin with.

now factor in the fact that most people end up with 30~50% ap reduction from a single spirit visage/ banshees / hexdrinker / merc scim / guardian angel etc etc.

now galio dives in with everything.... assuming no1 dodges any part of his kit... and the enemy is left with just over half their health.

this is all compounded by his slug like cooldowns and considering hes not a morello rusher because hes melee and needs some build behind him... he will be entirely baked once he dives in and DOESN'T score a kill.
