Picking Galio support into a composition where you have to itemise primarily armor is an uphill battle. If not being played vs a primarily magic damage team, Galio loses a significant amount of his tankiness; he has no innate tankiness compared to most melee champions if not against magic damage, with his only really defensive addition being the active portion of his W. Galio support is mostly picked for its disruption and anti-dive capability, as well as being good against magic damage heavy compositions; it's not picked for its tankiness, because as I've discussed, Galio on his own is not very tanky even when building tank items when he is at a level deficit.

There aren't many items that give resistances of both types for a reason - It is intended that if you heavliy itemise toward armor, that you will be weak against magic damage champions. The way to view this is that because you've itemised full armor, your team should focus down the Akali because that's what will deal...

there is no need for personal insults.

How with 4 items that gives more HP than hers, she is tankier and deals more damage?

The only way that Akali is really tanky is due to her base magic resistance, which is higher than average by 5 points. It's more that Galio is not very tanky for the class of champion he is; His base health is 62 higher and he gains 7 more hp per level. He also has 1 more armor point than normal. However, this is compared to Akali. Compared to a pure tank support, like Leona, his base armor is 23 points lower, and his MR growth is slightly lower.

Akali also built two of the highest health AP items in the game which do not bring any resistances. This means that while your health pools are similar, you have far more effective health than she does.

She deals more damage simply because the gold that you itemised toward armor resistance, she itemised toward AP. Mejais is also one of the most slot and gold efficient items in the game b...

Disclaimer: not involved in gameplay balance.

Levels are a significant portion of innate champion tankiness. Akalis health growth is only slightly lower than Galio's. If you're 3 or 4 levels below Akali, she's going to have 400 more health than you.

Akali's current popular build involves her building a tank mythic item, as well as an AP bruiser item (chemtank into demonic embrace). These are some of the highest health items in the game, but it's only around 60 AP.

Without commenting on the state of Akali's balance (I am not on the balance team, and I haven't played as Akali recently), I would wager the reason why OP felt so squishy is largely down to the fact that:

• Galio support will have much less health than an Akali thanks to the level disrepancy
• Galios entire mitigation is his W. The passive component scales of HP, making it not so great if you're low level, and otherwise you only have the active component to mitigate dama...

Thank you! Our stats team came with the pitch, and I worked with our awesome video editor to make it. Great occasion to celebrate an amazing player and career.

Yes, I remember that too.

IIRC, MSF also went 9-0 in Summer 2018. So, RGE would tie for 2nd best start in LEC history, IF they win today

We also had H4xDefender who I think now works as an assistant coach at TL. There are quite a lot of high diamond players in Riot in NA as well. Here in EU the bulk of players are around silver-gold, but we also don't have a balance team here.

I've been dying to tell you everything you want to hear.

The question before was jut asking about the designers. The artist on the jungler is Bravo Ray and the artist on the bot laner is Sojyoo (Who was also the artist on Zeri)

It was an addition from our incredible new comms strategist!

From my experience hard 1v1 champs who refuse to group are the answer. They will always be ahead of another solo because of uncontested gold and xp and they’re built to 1v1. The map pressure must be answered but isn’t answered easily and there are fewer viable options to answer. Is your mid supportive? Is your bot divable? Did you pick a tank jungler? Guess you lose.

EndlessPillows is the designer on the Jungler and Squad5 is the designer on the bot laner

A lot of love and care (and planning) goes into every episode.

We've defs got a high bar to clear each time, but it's well worth it in the end.

^__^

Lots of cool ideas in here. I'd be interested however in serving classes that are under represented in jungle. Zyra jungle! Mage junglers are cool (when they aren't Morgana at 53%)
