MR scalings cannot be higher than AP scalings.

Just compare Mantle and Tome:

- Mantle would cost 400g for: 16 damage on Q, 13 damage on E, 20 magic resist, 5 armor

- Tome would cost 435g for: 12 damage on Q, 10 damage on E

That, plus the fact that Idol directly scales with damage taken (so with tankyness). There goes full-MR Galio tanking and 3-shotting AD carries.

To compare, Malph has 42% (I counted the 40% bonus armor from W) armor scaling on his E for a total of 180% AP scaling. Even Taric has 40% armor scaling with W+innate for a total of 70-90% AP scaling.

(Btw if Kassadin did not already have a similar one, Galio's innate could have been some magic-damage-taken-into-AP-converter)
