Board 8 > League of Legends Topic 25 - "It is never ending."

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not sure about my maining MF anymore. I never feel like I'm really impacting a game unless I get a few kills early on and snowball.

Miss Fortune is a good AD carry, but when 33% of your competition is OP, you're going to have problems.

Main Ashe.

I don't care what anyone says she's the best Carry.

That Chain Slow and that Arrow are just too good.

So this guy is a crackpot when it comes to Chalice, right?

Don't get me wrong, Galio is the only champion who you can suggest Clarity on without getting laughed out of the building, but it's not like you're obligated to keep Chalice on you ALL GAME, which he seems to believe.

In Solo lane it's great on Galio. You get to spam Q over and over and over and over. It's the most annoying early game poke because of it's range, splash area, damage at level 3, it's cooldown, and the fact that it slows you so he can follow it up with E. Plus, you know the Ultimate is coming soon enough.

I usually do keep Chalice on me all game, because most games don't last long enough to sell it! The mana-regen is always helpful, sure, but the MR gives me a little bit of AP so that's nice too. It's just an all-around solid item, but the mana-regen is often overrated. Other items give much better regen, but it is very cheap and allows me to concentrate on other more tanky items. I don't enjoy AP Galio very much, but RoA might be something worth experimenting with. But his argument that CoH Galio's are squishy is silly - it's a nice early-game item and if you are consistent throughout the game about not spamming your abilities and using them when is most appropriate, then you should be able to have enough mana to engage in a fight at any time. And after you get this quick dead-end item, you can concentrate on going straight for your tank items.

Over the summer, around the time of the Galio changes, I began getting a philostone too. Between philo and chalice, my mana regen is very comfortable into the midgame. Philo (and sometimes HoG, though by the time you get it might be too late unless you were fed early) is a huge boost to Galio. Against teams with little to no AP, I just start off with the health regen and a health pot, just to get the philo faster (then obviously you need to adapt and get something in addition to philo for your mana-regen).

I disagree with his quints, but maybe that fits him better. I prefer my flat HP, because HoG/BV is usually my first +HP item.

and really, CV is so much better than clarity

Galio's mana issues aren't what they used to be, and late-game clarity is much less useful than CV

Realo, I used to go R>Q>E>W, but I've since preferred R>W>Q>E, because that shield is just great. It also ups the damage on your abilities if you go WQ, since it increases your MR. Sure, it basically doubles the mana cost, but if you're selective with your abilities and not spamming as much it's fine. Granted, I prefer playing Galio as a tank/support than a solo-lane AP (I suck with him up top), but whatever.

--
~AHylian is Still Alive~

RoA is core on my Galio builds. But I always get chalice because it's very cost effective and Clarity is a complete waste of a slot.

--

Now this is entertainment!

if you're going RoA you're delaying other items that I think are more important for a tank, in my opinion. Also, if you're going RoA and philo then you shouldn't need the chalice. Philo is also cheaper than chalice, and the AP you get from chalice is negligible compared to the AP from RoA

Corki is a lot of fun.

Galio's strength is in his ability to blow things up early and mid game. RoA also gives him mana and HP, things that he desperately needs.

My ideal Galio build would end up like this

Merc Treads
RoA
BV
Abyssal Scepter
Randuin's
Frozen Heart/Thornmail depending on how much AD they have. If pretty balanced, then GA.

--

Now this is entertainment!

Even considering thornmail is funny - FH gives Galio so much more. Mana? Check. CDR? Check. Something to help his team, not just him? Check!

GA is good, but honestly I'd probably prefer Shurelia's. I know a lot of people say it's not that helpful, but I personally love it for late-game. HP, speed boost, HP/mana regen, CDR...

Abyssal Scepter is awesome on Galio, but again, I usually don't have a long-enough game to support it, and I prefer tankier items earlier. I'd argue that Galio is best at setting up kills for his team, and being able to take a hell of a beating sure helps with that. BV is probably more cost-effective on Galio than RoA, because sure it gives HP and Mana, but it also gives him MR (and thus some AP), and its passive allows him to be better at taking blows.

--
~AHylian is Still Alive~

The point is FH screws the damage on your ultimate... but I usually don't care about that since it's good for the stupidly long AoE taunt and not the meh damage that requires him to get himself beat up.

Source? This is important, because I am ****ing SICK of Garen. He scales into doing what a carry does with Last Whisper and IE against a naked target with no items by 9, and it's really annoying.

Gah, fought a team with an incredibly good Eve, just after asking if she was usable.

She went 12/2/4, and there were only 16 deaths in my entire team. Fortunately, the rest of her team was awful (standard awful Karma, the only good Karma I've seen is Realo's), so we beat them easily anyway, but still.

So when is Gangplank getting nerfed?

Because I want to see the horrified look on the faces of every jackass who thought they were king for playing the most broken ass champ in the entire game.

Never. He's in a good spot now. Maybe a couple more tweaks but otherwise he's fine.

He's balanced. Not the dominant force he used to be, and certainly not as good as Garen now that that dude had almost 75% uptime on judgement and a renewable ghost in his Q.

Note that this isn't to say that Plank isn't really strong, because he is. He's just not borderline broken like Garen or Orianna. He's in the Corki Spot, AKA that point where you're an excellent choice but not one that merits bans unless you're facing someone who's focused on mastering the one dude to hell and back.

`The global 125 AD he hands out. The free Reverie he gives his team. The fact that he gets about 4k from his passive and it synergizes beautifully for him. The way he gets half a creep, every creep is he's good at parrrleyhitting. The ultimate is unreliable, the steroid boils down to simply rooting him or using a heavy slow, and parrley is that strong because it's the sole offensive move he gets as opposed to the three of Xin, Jarvan, Irelia, et al. You don't know why he's beating you and thus are getting angry at Plank for the wrong reasons. If you hate his players, there's champions who rip him to absolute shreds, and he's permabanned in ranked because people are too dumb to adapt and ban Orianna and such. Just adapt to it.

And yeah, NP bio, we're cool. I absolutely despised the pirate when he first got megabuffed - trust me, what you're dealing with right now has nothing on the plank who slapped down a 40% slow on you at level 2 with lizard and who got double the gold from each creep. Having seen him at his absolute worse the current version is SUPER strong, but not broken. You'll see what I mean as you go up and fight more Oriannas, Garens, and possibly Brands.

'Low power' does not compute when you read "gains a percentage of her attack damage". Riven sounds like a posterchild for brut+HoG+Atmogs+Thirster or something. If you can get 300ish AD (and it should be easy to hit 250 at least), even a 30% bonus will mean she'll carry really hard. Make that 50-62.5-75 and she becomes a Yorick-tier carry with her FIVE offensive moves.
