Galio- Should Grow in Size with Magic Resist

Similar to how Zac grows in size with health except Galio doesn't shrink with damage. He is the Colossus and the MR tank. This would be fitting.

For real. Whether they make his size increase with MR or just flat out increase his size, he should be bigger in game. Feeling like a massive Colossus should be a part of his in-game fantasy.

Agreed. If he's actually THAT BIG like he appears in the art, then they should do something more to make him feel that humongous.

Then malphite and cho would be much bigger lol

IxtaliKingMar 14, 20176 votes

Malphite needs a VGU and Cho'Gath is already the biggest in the game with his stacks.

ShinePhDMar 14, 20171 votes

But in reality, Malphite is the size of a mountain, Chogath is just a big monster.

Technically he CAN be the size of a planet

I wouldn't mind this QoL change for his somewhat dwarfed size compared to his narrative/splash art.

You can say that about : Cho'gath, Aurelion Sol, Glacial Olaf, Prehistoric skins, Some of the updated WW splashes, Malphite, DS Thresh, DS Varus.. Want me to continue?

Grimm HowlMar 14, 20176 votes

Lol no need to. I know what you're getting at though. Cho'gath scales in size with his Feast stacks so that fulfills that fantasy, plus he needs a VU. A.Sol can't be his true scale regardless because there would be no rift, only his body covering the screen. I wouldn't include any champion skins for the reason they are alternate fantasies, no need to confine them to lore canon. Malphite needs a VGU.

Was only agreeing that if Galio was able to scale slightly larger in size, or his model was increased just a tad more, it would feel better. Not saying he needed to be a 500ft statue stomping around the rift, and I said he was only "Somewhat dwarfed."

LùmenMar 14, 20171 votes

In a comparison? Yeah you're perfectly right, I just thought that you treated this as a special case to the rest at first. Besides... DS Thresh looks like he can hold Earth with his hand if you're gonna talk about who covers the rift, but I suppose Aurelion is larger because Dragon form is definitely > humanoid form in terms of size comparison, even when the two see planets as footballs..

Now I can imagine a Gurren Lagann battle of A.Sol and DS Thresh throwing galaxies at each other.

SUPER GALAXY AURELION SOL PLS RITO

Worldbreaker skins, Mecha Aatrox/Malphite/Zero Sion, Elderwood Hecarim, Subterranean Nautilus, Battlecast/Arclight Vel'Koz, Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol, Deep Sea Nami and Festival Queen Anivia are also shown to be bigger than most buildings/animals/humans

AListar somewhat fits but i excluded him

Meep ManMar 14, 20172 votes

I personally also think Malphite should scale with armor but... yeah. Also, Cho'Gath and Aurelion Sol are actually QUITE big in-game. Aurelion is actually surprisingly large.

SteelMankindMar 14, 20171 votes

Aurelion's hitbox is weird tho. Its only the bluish part which is his head and upper body. The almost-transparent lower part of him is just a cosmetic feature.

If you read dev articles on Sol when he was released, they said half the reason it took so long to release Ao Shin is because they originally wanted an eastern-inspired dragon mage, but a long, serpentine hitbox would be really bad for a squishy mage.

Meep ManMar 15, 20171 votes

Yeah, but I'm talking about visual size at the very least. In-game, Aurelion is fairly large.

EROTIC RAID BOSSMar 14, 20174 votes

I dunno I think the size changing makes a lot more sense for zac and is more special if its just him

BârdMar 15, 20174 votes

Galio should be bigger, but his size shouldn't fluctuate.

THE RlVER KlNGMar 14, 20173 votes

this is actually a good idea

XIII VanitasMar 15, 20173 votes

I disagree. Galio is a stone guardian, it doesn't make any sense for him to grow in size.

Supreme Senpai69Mar 15, 20171 votes

The more MR you need, it's implied the more magic damage they have.

But Galio only awakens in the presence of magic to defend against it. Once the magic is dealt with he goes dormant again.

So the more magic they have, the bigger he gets to deal with it. I don't see how it doesn't make sense

XIII VanitasMar 15, 20171 votes

No, it's more like a light switch:

is there magic around? YES -> Galio wakes up (ON)
is there magic around? NO -> Galio goes dormant (OFF)

Supreme Senpai69Mar 15, 20171 votes

No I know HOW it works lol. I'm saying it wouldn't be hard to make it work the way OP wants because the way it currently works is already similar. It could be tweaked/there's basis for it

Glory ln DeathMar 14, 20172 votes

Nasus should get bigger the more stacks he gets.

Veigar should... get nothing >:)

Skins ProjectMar 15, 20172 votes

Veigar should grow shorter.

Eventually at 10k stacks he becomes too small to see. If you walk over his model he get's killed Damage reads as "Crushed like an ant 10kDMG"

Requesting similar effects with Malphite and Armor!

AzteryzMar 14, 20171 votes

i remember them saying they want pure tanks to be big in the game to convey that the feeling of being a tank (im big im tanky and a frontline)

there are some exceptions like rammus amumu and a little bit of malph

but they said the exceptions are only temporary until they get a tu or vgu

my guess is they also remembered this during the galio vgu and didnt want to make him huge like say sion or half stacks cho gath because they consider him not to be a full on tank

imo they should just scale him because he practically is a tank as opposed to who he was pre rework

when zac gets his vanguard class update they said along with his more hp= growing size, they also said his voice will get deeper/squeakier depending on if he is big or small

for galio they should make his size bigger and voice deeper or maybe have echos the more MR he gets. that would give him more of a colossus feel

CremepieMar 14, 20171 votes

This is 1000% good idea, but I can see it being a little problem with his taunt range if his size keeps getting bigger or if it stays the same. Cap it at like 150% size or something?

Meep ManMar 14, 20171 votes

Sure, put a cap if it causes issues, but I think it is a good idea still.
