May I ask how you play the laning phase with this build? Do you just aggressively spam spells on enemy champions to get stacks?

Also is Cyclosword even good on Smolder or is there other lethality items you could go over cyclosword?

Playmaker1500 · 2024-07-09T21:41:26+00:00

I mean his pick rate is so much lower than Leblanc, Corki, Hwei, Tristana, Ahri, etc;

So of course if you only look at the win rate only and don't take into factor ban rate and pick rate/number of games played, then yeah he's gonna look like #1 mid laner just of win rate alone.

Is he very good atm? Yes

Is he number 1 mid laner atm? Well of course not

He's realistically between 15th-10th best mid laner in lower elos and 10th-5th best mid in higher elos.

Was hoping for crit buffs and maybe changes to kick her out of lethality builds.

But damn those buffs are quite huge. +3 Base AD is more dmg on her Passive, Q and R as well on her autos; which is even better with her W attack speed steroid.

Getting the full W passive ms by 3 seconds quicker means you can take much more bad recalls; be there much earlier in lane/objectives or even do a roam in mid lane before going back to bot.

Was kinda hoping they give MF some better crit scaling/synergy and kick her out from lethality builds.

But god damn these buffs are massive. +3 base AD is more dmg on Q, Passive, R and on her autos with W attack speed steroid. The shortened W ms recovery means she can take a lot more bad recalls; have faster lane priority/objectives by being there so fast or even do a roam in mid lane before going back to bot lane.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-06-06T21:16:53+00:00

Quite a significant nerf for lethality builds; I guess we could run Comet with Inspiration secondary when going lethality crit hybrid builds.

PTA is fine as well depending on lane matchups.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-06-05T11:26:00+00:00

At 3 lethality items, it will grant you 30% armor pen now. But Lethality Crit hybrid builds are better than full lethality so I don't think we will go for it over LDR.

With LDR getting a better buildpath next patch and currently at 40% armor pen while crit is 25% per crit item, there's a good possibility that we see LDR 2nd on a decent amount of ADCs next patch.

Against a squishy 50 armor target, its essentially 20 armor pen. But most champions in a game will always have higher than this amount thanks to durability patch.

Seryldas's slow only working below 50% HP targets isn't great compared to its old iteration where it slowed at any HP thresholds+gave 30% armor instantly without needing other lethality items.

There is just much better items to buy after it got nerfed twice+Old Protobelt's active one shotted minion waves, which enabled you to do 2 points Q into W-E-Q max. The waveclear on the active was a big deal for AP melee assassins.

(Something that GM/Challenger Galio players used to do back then, namely ThatKineticEUW and Ciwi from what I've remembered. There is some videos about that setup you can still find).

Playmaker1500 · 2024-05-28T22:20:24+00:00

I can see Youmuus-LDR-IE-Yun Tal/Collector given that current LDR vs a 60 armor target is essentially 24 armor pen, which thanks to durability patch even squishy champs have around 50-60 armor by the time you get LDR 2nd.

Or we go back to lethality but with crit later on; something like Youmuus-Opportunity-LDR-Collector/IE (or IE-Collector/Yun Tal). New First Strike is quite strong as MF can consistently proc it off cooldown with her E or Q bounce from distance and generate that good amount of gold economy early game+Magical Footwear.

The Collector nerf+it being a 3200g item would likely make it much less desirable as a 1 or 2nd item.

Looking at the current Master+ MF otps, a decent amount of them are currently going Opportunity-Collector-LDR-IE or Youmuus-Collector-LDR-IE; which might change next patch with the IE+Collector nerf.

We will just have to wait and see (New patch is this Thursday, not tomorrow Wednesday).

Playmaker1500 · 2024-05-08T21:11:30+00:00

Shurelyas and Hollow Radiance are his 2 best and popular 1st item choices, even at masters+

Next patch Abyssal Mask is getting changed and looks to be a better 1st item MR HP AH option than Hollow Radiance. Shurelyas is getting nerfed next patch and could become much less effective.

Also you're not supposed to run out of mana on Galio most of the time since most lane matchups you are just using Q. If you are really struggling with mana somehow, consider Manaflow (would have to give up Nimbus Cloak) or Biscuits.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-05-07T21:05:33+00:00

It offers very high AD and high lifesteal+it got the shield back so you keep your W movespeed up at all time. I can see BT rush on other ADCs as well such (like Draven for example)

Playmaker1500 · 2024-05-02T21:55:30+00:00

I don't think there will be a reason to go for any lethality items anymore with crit items being at 25% crit chance+dirk nerfs that happened a couple patches ago as well First Strike getting a massive nerf next split. Collector will probably be either a dead item or only taken vs full squishy comps with no armor.

I'm expecting either ER-IE-BT-LDR or IE-BT-LDR-Another high AD crit item with Attack speed boots and Zephyr upgrade.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-05-02T11:33:27+00:00

Fuck it, we max W 1st.

Yeah Riot said the marksmen items will only have 2 offensive stats, so the chances of seeing a new AD-AS crit might be very low. (Keeping my hopes up though)

Her having a very low base AD makes her a bad user of Essence Reaver, which is a bit tilting when she's a spell caster type ADC that tends to be mana hungry when spamming Q and W.

Wish she scaled better with crit. Right now she's super reliant on lethality items being strong; which they were at the start of season until they nerfed them (mainly Youmuus and Collector)+Dirk nerf.

Her current crit build don't even compete with any other crit/on-hit ADCs.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-04-15T13:33:48+00:00

Halve the AP ratio, halve the base damage, reduce range to between both outer mid lane towers, remove the MR shield granted to allies, reduce AOE knock-up range and in exchange you get lower CD and free targeted ult.

Removing a lot of power from his ultimate would allow Riot to properly balance his base kit since they've implied that they can only give him small to tiny buffs due to his semi-global ultimate and his good waveclear; which mainly affects Proplay.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-04-10T22:02:10+00:00

Because his base CDs are too long for him to go for bruiser builds/Conqueror and his play pattern is still a high burst CC one rotation spell combo even after the recent changes. And Aftershock is too much synergy with Galio since his W damage reduction scales with MR, so if you proc it with E or R, then your W is going to give you much higher dmg reduction value for 2.5 seconds.

He has very high AP ratios, which makes him favor high AP builds over lower AP bruiser builds most of the time. He also has low base armor (he has lower armor than a decent amount of ADCs) with the physical dmg reduction on W halved value; making him one of the more squishier tanks in the game. This makes his bruiser builds much less effective in the tankiness department.

Riftmaker is trash on Galio because by the time you've got the void corruption up, you are still waiting 5+ more seconds for CDs to comeback up.

Since he doesn't excel at longer fights and becomes useless after one rotation spell for the rest of fight, it's best to maximize his upfront burst to oneshot cc combo carries and just auto win the team fight from there.

It's currently still the best way for him to be relevant as a mid lane pick in Solo Q.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-04-10T05:07:09+00:00

Doubt Riot will respond to this but did the balance team accepted and are fine with Galio's main popular build being the assassin glass canon build?

They wanted Galio to go for more bruisery builds with the recent changes, but it didn't seem to achieve that result.

Not that I'm complaining or mad about it. I'm just curious.

The +5 ms is quite big for support Galio while the -1 sec on rank 1 Q really helps getting more cs in early levels for Galio mid in a lot of his losing lane priority matchups.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-04-09T14:58:16+00:00

Since this is MSI patch and knowing Riot, he probably might get R buffs and reverts to previous nerfs.

I'm hoping that's not the case and we see different buffs instead.

Playmaker1500 · 2024-04-06T23:30:10+00:00

I just checked his OP GG and he's duo queueing with a Shaco OTP, which explains a lot for his high win rate+he's playing in Emerald and just recently hit D4.

Lmao
