My thoughts on Galio

So i bought Galio a while back, and after seing his kit, i believe i found one of the best tanks in the game. i was playing and i realized, i could just build this fucker tanky, and i can still do more damage than my top laner. All because of his passive. his passive converts 50% of his Magic Resist into AP right? so i figured, that if i build full HYBRID items, i wouldnt lose in anything under 4v1. The first time i tested this was in 1 4 All. it was against a bunch of Khazix, so i guess it wasnt a fair fight, cause i got thornmail first and after that i demolished his ass. But the next time, i believe it was in sumoners rift, and i went mid against a TwistedFate, and not only did i win my lane, he needed 3 more people to take my tower. so i thought about it, and i made a build, which makes him OP no matter who hes fighting. item 3075 Best item for him(armor based at least) Because it has DIRECT sinnergy with his Ult. PLUS the Ad based champs (Looking at them hard hitting ADCs) wont do much damage to him. item 3065 Life, cooldown, magic resist. basically, a cast based Tanks wet dream. Ohh, it also BOOSTS the healing done by his W. then theres the MR to AP thing. item 3512 Both Armor and MR, Health regen. PLUS a movement speed boost whenever hes anywhere but the jungle. Theres also the Spider things that you can pop next to a turret and smile as it falls. item 3026 Armor and MR. And if they manage to kill you, now they have to do it again, cause youre not annoying enought already. item 3158/item 3111 Choice of necessity. if they have a ton of CC, get the Mercs, if they dnt, Spam your abilities with some CDR. Last items are dangerous, but i believe, tha its also very situational. So im gonna drop some Choices, those that are best (in MY opinion) item 3001 item 3174 item 3102 item 3025 item 3190 item 3089 item 3083 item 3060 item 3143

This is all MY opinion, but I had fun with it, and i found a lot of champs that it heavily counters If you try the build, Let me know how it goes, and post your Game stats if you can.

Good to see someone actually figuring out how to play Galio instead of assuming he's bad unless he's vs all AP. You could play hing against an all AD comp and he still wrecks, he has high base damages, the W also has synergy with thornmail, making him probably the best thornmail user in the game, even including Rammus. If you are vs all AD, just going item 3040 and then into a tank build will give you comparable damage to MR stacking.

People underestimate Galio :), he is a beast during the entire game.

There's still his mana problems, because having a 70 mana E at rank 1 that deals next to 0 dmg is a problem.
