There was some tread about what ap carry can counter Galio mid lane.The answers received were pretty similar all in all (switch lane with your top laner,counterpick Talon,Panth etc etc) but no one came up with an ap-oriented champion that could really dominate Galio on his lane.Being a fan of Galio since his release i too never managed to face an ap champ mid lane that was worth calling a challenge.

...But that was before Diana's release.

I was hoping to go Galio vs Galio mid lane due to him being free at last but ended up facing several Dianas today in my normals (like 4) and it always ended up in one specific scenario.Me,Galio,being bullied in my lane forced to last hit under turrent prioritizing farm over harass.The issue is that shes too tanky for the amount of dmg she's abled to unleash with her combo.Her mr at lvl 1 was 43 making my Q tickle her on impact.Not that i focus too much on harass early on but her innate mr per lvl + mr runes managed to keep my burst at bay even post level 6.

Galio win trades against her you say?Well thats a big no no.I E towards her,shield up and Q when AAing (so it won't miss) and remove like 1/6 of her hp.She just eat all that dmg up with her innate tankyness and double shield,Q before AAing me to death.When i try to escape that nightmare she just pulls me back and repeat the sheit while i'm helpless and slowed D': ! When she hits lvl 6 i can't really go past my tower's range without receiving some nasty dmg.Getting zoned by an ap as Galio huehue.

idk about your experiences facing her at mid but mine was really bitter...Seems to me that the only way to shut her down as Galio is to get successful and repetitive jungle ganks but you don't always get those in normals.If that's the case,underturrent farm for the win...

Ps : It's not a qq tread and i don't believe that Diana is op really.She is imo slightly above average but has no escape ability and does have her counters.But i believe that Galio finally managed to find an ap champ abled to humiliate him and make the poor boy feel like a sissy.
