[Champion Rework] Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow

Blorgorize·2/18/2014, 11:58:25 AM·8 votes·1,224 views

This post only covers the ability rework of Galio, I simply do not have the room to include his new quotes and sub quest info and will post a thread in a different forum containing the full version with a link for all soon™.

The main goals of this rework are three fold:

Baking Runic Skin into Bulwark as a passive so Galio can have a proper Innate, otherwise known as a level 1 passive.
Addressing Galio's mana problems.
Retooling Righteous Gust for additional kit synergy.

Disclaimer: Numbers are merely theoretical until properly tested in an environment, such as the PBE, and are subject to change.

[Innate] *Sentinel’s Gaze *
TYPE: Passive (AoE)
TARGET TYPE: Enemy Champion
RANGE: 1000 Units
DEBUFF TYPE: Attack Speed / Ability Power
DEBUFF DURATION: Until Exiting Range
COOLDOWN: None

Basic Description:
(Passive): Enemy champions within range of Galio have their attack speed reduced by 5% (+ 0.5% Armor) and their ability power reduced by 5 / 6 / 7 / 9 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 17 / 19 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30 / 33 / 36 / 38 / 40 / 42. These effects intensify based on how close they are to Galio, up to a maximum of 10% (+1.0% Armor) reduced attack speed and 10 / 12 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26 / 30 / 34 / 38 / 42 / 48 / 54 / 60 / 64 / 68 / 72 / 76 / 80 / 84 reduced ability power when within 400 units of Galio.

*Specific Details: * (Passive): Enemy champions within 1000 units of Galio have their attack speed reduced by 5% (+0.5% Armor) and their ability power reduced by 5 / 6 / 7 / 9 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 17 / 19 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30 / 33 / 36 / 38 / 40 / 42. The potency of these effects increase up to 100%, based on how close the enemy champion’s proximity is to Galio, for a maximum of 10% (+1.0% Armor) reduced attack speed and 10 / 12 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26 / 30 / 34 / 38 / 42 / 48 / 54 / 60 / 64 / 68 / 72 / 76 / 80 / 84 (4 + 1 / 2 / 3 / 2 at each level) reduced ability power when within 400 units of Galio.

These effects afflict the enemy champion so long as both the enemy champion and Galio have vision of each other and will fade if either champion loses vision of the other. Likewise the debuff will not be applied unless both champions have vision of each other.

Visual:
Enemy champions afflicted by Sentinel’s Gaze have a golden eye above their heads that slowly opens based on how close they are to Galio. The eye fully opens and burns brightly when the enemy champion is within 400 units of Galio. When the debuff fades the eye closes and fades away.
