Why is Glalio a counter to many AP Mids?

[quote=Vitigam]The Ttile. Why is he a counter? Can some1 explain?[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][[Runic Skin]] Stack mres, become impossibly tanky so the enemy AP can't hurt you, get AP while doing so and go to town.[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis]He gets AP from stacking MR If he stacks MR, he both increases his damage and decreases their damage If a non-Galio stacks MR, they get no damage but decreased damage Furthermore - Galio's QW combo can outpush many AP champions, forcing them to have to waste mana on trying to get last hits. It makes last hitting on champions that aren't someone like Anivia really hard, and Galio usually is very high on mana due to Chalice and/or blue buff.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]For one, His passive gives him half his MR in AP. This means he can directly counter the enemy AP's damage while still dealing damage. His kit is also generally very good against APs (he can heal back damage easily and he has a high damage slow that's pretty crippling), giving him a lot of control over the lane. His ult forces people to auto-attack him, again, countering enemy AP carries. The one issue he has is the fact that he can be easily run out of mana, but a chalice or blue buff will fix that.[/quote]

[quote=Morr33d]Buy Mres. Win your lane. Win the game.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS][quote=Morr33d] Buy Mres. Win your lane. Still might not win because building MR to counter build the AP but still not buying armor to counter ADs is bad. [/quote] Fix'd[/quote]

Still I don't know who wouldn't buy armor if they see AD carry/Bruiser stomping your face. [/quote] I fix'd fix'd.[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]but dont make the mistake of stacking mr to no end... usually going chalice, abyssal will suffice to crush your lane look to buy a deathcap after greez sam[/quote]

[quote=ClearDays][[Galio]] such a stupid champion :/ So much utility and free stats. Very strong champion with a high skill cap. You could play at a good level, or you could play at Alex Ich's level and get 466 CS and get 8 kills in a[url=http://my.jetscreenshot.com/8118/20120413-ztif-205kb.jpg] 36 minute game[/url] :/[/quote]
