"... he shouldn't pack such a punch without investing in ability power."

"We're quite happy with how Galio landed on Summoner's Rift and while we're happy with how well he soaks damage and protects teammates with dedicated tank builds, he shouldn't pack such a punch without investing in ability power."

Fizz So is it about time to hot fix this?

115% AP scaling is not the way to make a tank want AP.

Well yes it is, but he's not gonna be a tank anymore.

Except he's still tanky af due to kitbased tank steroids.

You don't get it.

He'll still be a tank.

Just one with a ton of damage.

Like a juggernaut.

But with loads of hard CC and some mobility.

He'll still be tanky, like juggernaut level tanky if not Nautilus level tanky.

Aren't fighters usually squishier than juggernauts?

I mean Darius is usually tankier than XinZhao , for example.

They are both fighters, different subclasses.

Yeah but you can't really catagorize all fighters into divers/juggernauts/skirmishers. I think. I might be wrong.

Technically speaking, they put Skirmishers (mainly your melee ADC's) as a sub category of Slayer. Where the Slayer category includes Assassins.

I think they put Skirmishers with Assassins as they are mostly glass cannons, While both Divers and Juggernauts are more of a mix of damage and defense.

Skirmishers is like Riven Yasuo Fiora Quinn , the low range duelists who are fairly squishy. They often have high mobility. I think Lucian and Vayne might be in there, but not sure.

Slayer is more Zed Talon Rengar KhazixFizz as well as MasterYi . Assassins and melee carries, not sure whether Trynd goes here or Skirmishers because his E gives him a lot of mobility.

If he has around 30% damage reduction with AP items you bet your ass he's a tank.

True, he's not going to be Tank levels of Tanky. But he's by no means a Glass cannon. And he has way too much mobility and lockup to be considered a Juggernaut.

So the best descriptor would probably be, an AP Diver.
