I'd go with vsAP runes. He does a lot of damage for a tank and actually got a burst combo. I think the match up is going to be all about playing around each others passive, Galio would want to pop your shield with a normal attack and then immediately hit with an empowered which you obviously dont want.

I would be pretty surprised if galio can solo lane. His taunt and ultimate are both pretty useless there in a vacuum. If he can solo lane well with basically 2 skills then he's probably busted.

Oh, he'll be able to solo lane great. QEQW Q>E>W works as skill build, he has broken damages all across the board and will be able to both fight and push really well. On top of that he has a semiglobal ult, so I don't see any problems there. In fact I think he'll be extremely strong, especially since his kit doesn't have too much skill associated with it.

New Galio seems alright, top lane he has really good gank support with EW and Q does a surprising amount of damage if you CC them in the tornado

Not sure the source. In theory it makes sense though. Dirk is a damage item that comes with a free pair of boots thanks to its passive. lol wiki doesn't value the move speed in their efficiency calculation, but if you included it dirk must be super efficient.

I've seen a few yis running that build as well with Dirk before anything. Yi is still a pretty good champ for soloq. Can definitely 1v9.

Seen a lot of yi's myself nothing really any different then before other then him hitting an earlier damage spike but a weaker 6 item fantasy because he's not super tanky like last time he was in the solo q meta. I did have one carry super hard when we were down 20 kills because enemy team only cc was fizz ult and there Mundo didn't even build ninja tabi so he just did the typical Yi thing and penta killed after our team got aced in a 4v5 that he was doing red buff at the start.

hey a bit of a long shot, but would anyone have any idea what my connection issues are caused by?

facts:

- stable ping throughout the game. constant 29-30 ping. no fluctuations
- both 'attempting to reconnect' freezes and complete client crashes. seemingly random as I get both of them pretty much an equal amount of times in a game
- happens in short intervals. around every 2-4 minutes. longest I've gone without was ~8 minutes
- seemingly no packet loss. ping check seems fine before, during, and after game. stable ping, 0% packet loss on multiple tests.
- can usually see what's happening as I 'd/c' ex. opponent killing me and my death animation + death recap then it freezes or crashes. when I get a freeze I usually return to game after 10 seconds.

there is also a strange bug where if I reconnect after a tower is destroyed, game will show that my tower still exists ( can ping it and everything ). Actually died from that when I got 'tower dove' only to realize there was no tower there.

this issue has been happening the last 2 days. only attempted to play one game each day though.

other important facts outside of game:
-I live in a college apartment
-it is finals week
-I played at 4am and 1 am respectively
-have only had internet issues one other time and that was only for that day. rest of the time here this year my internet has been near perfect.
-have tried switching from ethernet to wifi , doesnt matter
- have tried switching clients, doesnt matter

my best guess is that its finals week and has led to a high volume of people staying up at the same time using the internet. however it is strange that my ping is unaffected and I have no packet loss according to ping test. I also have no issues with internet in terms of streaming and such. I am watching twitch.tv, youtube, playing hearthstone, etc. all at the same time with no lag or drop in quality. Also interesting that my client completely crashes at times? So yeah idk what's up.

gonna try asking this on reddit too once it's back up since it's such a strange issue.

edit: according to a redditor my ISP is probably garbage and cannot handle heavy traffic not sure if this is right
