Y'know, even against the AD assassins of midlane I still don't see why Galio's fallen out of favour...

Yeah, his passive is useless if you're up against AD (well... mostly useless... Still nice to have some AP when you get chalice for mana) but he plays an incredibly safe lane anyway, is burst-resistant with W (which still gives armor), and still scales pretty well into late with just generalised AP-tankiness as opposed to straight MR-tanking...

Yeah, I know he's at his best when his lane opponent gives him an excuse to build Abyssal/Athene's/other MR but I really don't see why he's thought of as trash tier as soon as an AD assassin gets mentioned.
