@Meddler Galio is a Melee Anti MR tank with 0 Incentives to Autoattack and an Anti AD Ultimate

Kingsgrave··2 votes·806 views

Is he going to get a mini rework ever in the future?

Melee with no reason to ever go into Melee to autoattack the enemy Incentivized to build MR and has QWE to promote an Anti-MR playstyle but his Ultimate is primarily used to destroy counter engage and Autoattackers (aka Anti-AD)

I feel like he needs some sort of adjustment in these areas

Thoughts?

I wouldn't say his Ultimate is anti-AD. It's a taunt, which prevents abilities from being cast and reduces physical and magic damage on him. I do, however, think they need to make his Q a little less powerful and reduce it's cooldown substantially to make it similar to Karthus's.

Taunts by their very nature are Anti-AD. Taunts force people to autoattack, who autoattacks the most? AD champions.

Galio's Q and Karthus Q are nothing alike and should stay that way

AD champions autoattacking you hurt. AP champions autoattacking you don't. So, the AP champions are doing less useful while taunted than the AD ones.

It doesnt matter tho, because Galio gets 90 Armor and MR and heals per hit. Thats fine and all but why does his kit primarily want him to face magic yet he has an ult that useless against them.

Galio's ult silences magic users.

It encourages auto-attackers to auto-attack him.

IE: Galio's ult is very powerful vs. magic users and near useless vs. auto-attackers.

All it does to AD champions is modify their target selection. For any kind of AP champ, it modifies their target selection and prevents them from using abilities. So which does it damage more? The people who just have their target altered or the people who have their target altered and are prevented from using their main sources of damage?

Braum makes Galio cry.

(Also Udyr and Garen and a few others, but mostly Braum.)

How is his ult anti-AD?

It encourages people to auto-attack him. AD enhances auto-attack damage. It stands for attack damage. And taunting people causes them to damage you with their attacks powered by attack damage.

Galio's ult is effectively a silence vs. AP champions as auto-attacking usually doesn't accomplish much on an AP. vs. AD champions? It isn't.

Galio is fine just like he is EXCEPT, I feel like he could use some late game damage buffs and maybe NOT ALLOW MERC TREADS TO LET PEOPLE JUST WALK OUT OF HIS ULTIMATE FFS.

That was a couple patches ago. Tenacity no longer effects his taunt. item 3070 Irelia item 3070
