Galio and Rammus' Passives

Squippit·12/17/2013, 4:50:00 AM·7 votes·1,079 views

Galio and Rammus have passives where they build one stat and get another stat for free (Galio gains 50% of his MR as AP and Rammus gains 25% of his Armor as AD). Problem is, if these stats (MR and Armor) are reduced below 0, they start to affect Galio and Rammus negatively, causing them to LOSE AP and AD built from runes/masteries/items.

However, Hecarim's passive, Warpath, gives AD for MS. When Hecarim is slowed, he only loses BONUS AD gained from his passive, not AD he has from runes/masteries/items.

Seeing as Galio isn't in a good place right now and Rammus just got hit with a nerf to his taunt, would it be a good idea to change their passives so if reduced, only BONUS stats are affected?

The situations where this can occur are few and far between, but it DOES happen.

MR reduction:

Abyssal Scepter, Wit's End

Trundle, Jayce, Karthus, Kayle, Nidalee, Amumu, Fiddlesticks, Kogmaw, Ryze, Soraka

Armor reduction:

The Black Cleaver

Jarvan, Jayce, Kayle, Nidalee, Renekton, Trundle, Urgot, Vi, Wukong, Xin Zhao, Yasuo, Corki, Kogmaw, Nasus, Rammus, Taric

A great consideration for if/when these champions get some kit touch-ups but I don't think it'd make a lot of sense by itself.

This almost never happens, but it's cool of you to notice.

Okay what your talking about is in combat when their mr or armor goes down but that's a disable it only effects the original mr or armor

you get +1! good point bringing this up! those guys are OP though, building up tank, i think this will change more for Galio, cause rammus mid/late game do most of his damage from his skills (AP) not much from his normal attacks... but Galio affects a lot!
