    Galio is just one of those champions who doesn't have a super-well defined role in the meta. He's a counter, not any role in particular. He does very well top against AP choices such as Kennen, but usually he's mid because that's where the AP champions he counters are placed.

    It's not. Flat 90 AR/MR at max lvl. The heal is scaling, ofc.

    Galio has pitiful AP ratios on his spells, and mediocre cooldowns. He is a good mid pick if you want to counter, but he is not an AP carry, you have to take that into consideration.

    Galio is an exceptional counter to most mages mid. With an early chalice (Meki pendant start) along with Merc treads, Frozen heart, Abyssal Sceptor and if you get that farmed, a deathcap you will be quite unstoppable. He however doesn't have good aggression in lane, so is often picked as a farm oriented champ, with an extremely strong mid-late game.

    That's why you pick Galio when they have an AP top.

    True.
    Mid he counters most AP carries, lets say Cassiopeia: Q/W into E = shield and you cant get killed. (TSM vs...M5 or somethin)
    Never actually seen Galio getting banned in ranked actually, its like: Shaco, morg, kassa / lee, trynda (lowelo yeah) and morde/yorick

    Im just calling him an ap carry / anti ap tank cus of his passive, shield and ulti. also his Q/E combo burst which deals so much dmg and most champs cant recover from it. Vladimir can recover when he gets his early revolver and stuff, but morg is a worse problem for Galio (if she can land good snares and W farm caster creeps for health) etc.

    Yesterday, I wished for a legendary Galio skin here.

    Today, this is the first news item in LoL site:

    That would be awesome. All his skins look terrible.

    granted hes not an ap carry, he offers A LOT of utility in a given team comp

    considering he takes mid as solo, he will be pretty beefy while dishing out very nice dmg. he puts w on his ad carry that makes the ad carry very tankyish. as stated on a guide by Umashi, "Bulwark is an offensive steroid, defensive steroid and sustain wrapped into one targeted spell. This skill is incredibly useful, you can shield your bruisers or anyone taking damage for mutual benefit. Unfortunately you cannot use this skill on minions, but you can; however aggro minions in lane to heal yourself."

    if you can land a good ult, getting 3 or even 4 of the enemy team, you have put your team at such an advantage, it's almost unfair. this is why galio is a solid pick with the right comp @ tournaments. he can be extremely OP given the right amount of teamwork

    Galio is an AP mid that is not about dishing the damage but more doing strong damage as well as giving the team a lot of utility in a slow, aoe taunt, shield and move speed.

    Depends on how you build him. Your ulti scales on AP, and it hurts like heck at enemy players. Tho the E is more of a runspeed booster/buffer, its a Q/E combo to do dmg, and you can shield your bruiser, or whatever (the healing scales on AP so even better). I play Galio as a tanky AP, im not there to help teammates unless I have to. Shielding myself when im ulting so I dont die asap.

    Yeah Bulwark into Idol is pretty mandatory in late game otherwise you can get hurt alot even with the DR unless you are tanky

    As everyone plays an ap carry mid these days an ap mid galio with a fair bit of MR tends to dominate, I also almost never lose a solo top as him... not tried a duo support lane really though.

    Rush Chalice for spam-city ownage.
    Merc treads
    RoA
    Abyssal
    Frozen Heart
    Guardian Angel

    *if it goes way late, sell Chalice and buy Banshee's Veil

    Tons of armor, tons of MR, and something like +80 additional AP due to MR before the Chalice gets sold.

    Absolutely boss hero.
    This is exactly how I build my Galio and have no trouble at all with it. He is fantastic support and it is criminal to deny otherwise. Support doesn't mean you are totally helpless without someone else there, it means you make another worthwhile player significantly better while still being awesome and doing what you normally would in a standard game. Galio does just that. He *can* AP mid fine I guess if desired, but why deny what he is best at?
