Galio runes

[quote=Restrictnine#5232]Oh searz... ur asking for help on theory crafting galio runes, and several people that PLAY galio have given you advice but all you do is tell them they are wrong. Why even bother posting in theory crafting if you arent open to different ideas? No one is right or wrong. Its just options and why that option works. Flat MR quints are not good. Maybe MR/lvl, but Flat is pointless. If ur looking for the early damage just get AP quints then. Galio is a MR tank and you will build more than enough MR anyways. JUST AP quints gives you 15 AP. thats already more offensive than what you were getting excited about. Don't be afraid to put actual AP on a tanky caster. Sure, his passive is convenient, but at some point building AP is just better than building more MR. I agree with Evil on yellows. I think mana is incredibly important on galio, especially without chalice. Reds are obvious. Blues should be MR/lvl because... well they just should. If you need an explanation for that I question your offtank knowledge base.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]^ Restrictnine has a point. Personally, I run with magic penetration marks, mana regen seals, mr/level glyphs and magic resist quintessences. I'm not quite sure about the mana regen seals, so far I like them but they might not be necessary because buying [[Philosopher's Stone]] + [[Chalice of Harmony]] might solve his mana problems without needing an extra boost by using mana regen seals. Health/level or armor seals would probably replace them, I guess..[/quote]

I said in the OP that I had decided on quints already, yet ppl keep talking about them :( I was negative towards MP5/lvl seals at first, but since so many mention them I guess there's something to it.

I'd rather take MR runes and skip some MR item for an AP item. [quote]Blues should be MR/lvl because... well they just should.

Real reasons have been said already and I'm considering them, but I'm still leaning slightly towards flat MR because of reasons I've stated a few times.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I think blues might depend on where you're laning. Flat MR if you're mid. Scaling MR if you're not mid. If you're supporting bot or soloing top, you won't really need a ton of MR until later anyway. I suppose you could say the same for quints. MR if you're mid, AP if you're not. But I won't get into quints b/c that's not what you asked. Something to consider though.[/quote]

Of course, if you're solo top and spamming Q on cooldown to harass your enemy laner (I generally ignore my opposite number and focus on CS), you'll need some. I've never been a fan of Chalice, and never will. I think it's a waste unless you're laning against someone where the MR will be valuable (solo mid or an AP top.) Starting with a Doran's Ring gives you more HP, MP regen, and the same amount of AP - so I usually start with a Doran's Ring. I usually recommend making a Philo Stone. It'll provide you with all the sustain a gargoyle could need, boosts your income, and can later be turned into Shurelia's or sold off if you like. At low Elo, just start with a mana crystal and potions. You won't need any of the boosts from Doran's/Philstone anyway.[/quote]

[/quote] If I don't buy a Chalice, I can't play agressively if I want because I'll often run out of mana. Now, Galio might not be the best champion to win a lane with anyway, but I like to be able to spam my abilities to not only farm but also harass the enemy laner to a certain extent. When focusing on CS you wont need it, I think.[/quote]
