Things that dont make much sense about Galio

Galiö·5/6/2019, 8:14:38 PM·9 votes·11,535 views

This spun circles in my head based off a Twitter post.

In lore:

Even if he comes to life how does he gain such flexibility, especially in the neck area. How did he learn (language) and immediatly know who's side he was on the first time he came alive. Why was he so prone to smashing. How did Durand build him so fast. What pose is he in normally and does he instinctively go back to that pose when he 'goes back to sleep'. What are those wings made of?

In game:

Why doesnt he absorb magic? Why doesnt he come to life or heal from magic? Why does he uppercut despite being a 125+ foot creature?

In design:

Why doesnt he Heal off magic but Darius, Fiora, Sylas heal off whacking people? Why does Galio Uppercut instead of slam downwards, or across/displace?

it's because he's magical

that's literally all you need to know

doesn't matter if you think it is a massive cop out of an explanation, it's magic. It's supposed to break the rules and follow other ones and probably break those rules too. Galio just happens to use and is made of, anti-other-magic-magic.

How did Durand build him so fast.

There are a lot of ancient structures in the real world that seem impossible to have been built without modern machinery or architecture or whatever.

Truth is, humans are really good at building stuff with slave labor. Like, seemingly impossibly good.

I dunno about the lore enough to know any slavery situation in the world, but when it comes to seemingly impossible works of construction, architecture, or art, the real life assumption is usually thousands of slaves.

Why does Galio Uppercut instead of slam downwards, or across/displace?

His passive is a downward slam

Why doesnt he Heal off magic Fiora heals off whacking people?

Rioters that worked on her rework already said the heal is her focusig, and the ult is her “second wind”.

1.The magic within him likely makes him a bit more flexible allowing him to move 2.He is fully awake when he is motionless, he likely became alive long before he was able to move allowing him to observe the demacians and get familiar with their language and their culture.Thus when he became able to move for the first time he knew on which side he was. 3.He only comes alive when there is a big threat for him to fight. Thus he associates being able to move(which feels awesome), with being supposed to smash things 4.Durand might have had workers that helped him make Galio or he might have been a mage himself. 5.Well if he didn't return to the same pose then it'd be rather obvious that he moved,so we can expect him to always return to the same pose 6.Good question, they look like they are made of gold, but they might have simply been colored or coated in gold

7.&8.&10.Because healing from magic would likely feel rather awkward in terms of gameplay, i mean when you hit an enemy with a spell you likely want to hurt them not to heal them. Also Magic can likely still harm Galio, its the reason why he can move, but that doesn't mean that he can regenerate his body with magic. 9.&11. Because he is scaled down ingame and his passive is already a big slam
