So let me ask a dumb question:

From what I have heard, it is kinda stupid to "milk" Galio's passive to gain tons of AP. Why? You pay 400 for 24 MR and 12 AP for Galio, and if you buy AP you pay 435 for 20 AP only without resistance. MR is WAY cheaper than AP, and can be obtained by various sources more useful to Galio than mages' items. The only AP item that makes sense to me is Abyssal. Otherwise, even overkilling in MR seems a god idea (even considering the diminishing effect, you rapidly end up negating 90% of a caster's damage, until they buy Voidstaff, if they ever do). As long a you get a decent amount of health and armor to sustain other types of damage, why not abusing his passive in runes (Screw the nerf) and masteries at least? In theory abusing it seems attractive. I know that in game it's a whole different story though. But for lane dominance in mid, I seriously think stacking as much MR as possible would give the Galio player a huge advantage over his opponent, rather than taking raw AP or MPen.
