Hydra is melee only though, how does it work?

I know a lot of people who don't like melee in most games that include combat so you are no exception, based on what I've seen through the years. =PAoriki wrote:
I do need more champs. The fact I lack on them is pretty sad. I wanna try melee's but...I'm the type who goes for range then close range

've seen some galio supports and he can be quite good what with the shield and the aoe slow, as well as his ult at 6
but his passive and mr are useless for bot lane, which is quite unfortunate. back in the days you'd go mid with null-magic mantle and pots, have like 70mr and 50 ap at level 1...

I used to play galio support often. He is very mana hungry and has a long CD on his only support ability. You'd be better off playing janna or taric for the same effect.
Galio top lane is kinda bad now with what is very popular in that lane. His mid is decent, but definitely lacking.
I am not a fan of Taric or Janna. =PVulf wrote:

Yeah, I used the Chalice a few times.WishfulFiction wrote:

spirit visage is somewhat viable, but it got nerfed
edit:
actually I'm wrong
chalice/abyssal is good
its more because of the focus on AD scaling champs in the current meta that makes galio less viable
He seemed pretty strong early game, yeah.tyrael6192 wrote:
his early game damage is scary as hell but come lategame he's basically just a shieldbot for the carry and a flash ult engage man
What's a kit?Vulf wrote:
Let me put it this way. Galio needs items to scale into the game which he wouldn't get as a 0 cs support (this is why karma is a bad support). In other words no it won't work most of the time because of heavy mana cost meaning he has to spend 900 extra gold to help his ADC, and he has long CD's on everything but his Q. He needs specific items to get going.
To answer another question. There are some champions in this game that aren't viable hence why some stuff get kit reworks.
Edit: The reason he isn't very good mid/top anymore is because of all the random AD bruiser and casters that got major buffs in season 3 making it hard for him to lane. It's not that he isn't viable he just fell out of favor. The whole point of his kit is to be the counter to all AP, but seeing as AP carries aren't the only thing that goes mid anymore it has dwindled him to a niche pick.
What's wrong with Kayle? She's a fantastic champion. =/BrokenArrow wrote:
Am I the only one who wants this fucking Kayle to get removed from this game immediately
Yeah, but it takes someone of decent skill to do that. I'm still slightly new to the game so I'm not really aiming for such at the moment.tyrael6192 wrote:
something can be underplayed but still really strong
I don't have any standard supports that I like yet. Any suggestions?Vulf wrote:
You can play galio support, but don't expect it to ever out perform any of the standard supports that can do what he does but way better. Heck i used to play ashe and caitlyn support awhile back lol. If your playing 5's and they don't mind you playing unconventional supports then go for it, but in solo que you'll probably end up getting banned for playing against the meta. I learned this after i got a suspension for playing roam annie like 5 games in a row.
Was not a fan of Leona, Blitzcrank or Thresh.Vulf wrote:
If you like playing bruiser type champions you might like Leona, Blitzcrank, Thresh, Nunu, or Alistar all of those are very good supports. Generally anything that has hard CC (non ults preferably), sustain, a steroid and doesn't need items to scale as the game progresses usually makes a decent 0 cs support. There are also the unconventional (these are champions that can support, but they aren't very strong at that role) supports like galio, shen, mundo, gangplank, malphite etc.. If you ever decide to go into solo queue ranked i would advise not playing these cause people will complain.
Well according to riot you cannot get banned for playing against the meta, but you can get banned for failing to communicate with your team. This is what riots support told me when i asked about my ban last year lol. If your team is fine with you playing against the meta then it's okay, but if pre game chat explodes about you playing something crazy like jungle Vlad then the odds are you will eventually get banned after a few reports. lol
Not really, double bruiser bot lanes work fine if you know how to play them. You just focus on killing/zoning more than farming/protecting AD. If done correctly, you can deny the enemy AD hard and pick up some kills on the wayVulf wrote:
Exactly stuff like shen and mundo work much better in other places, but they could go bot lane as a support. They just won't be as good as actual supports most of the time.
Well you shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that in premades, but in solo queue it's definitely reportable. lol
You just described Warwick. LOLKanye West wrote:
