Jax especially; his E is completely useless against her in lane phase, because it's a free riposte every time and there is nothing I can do about it.

Wait, you can activate Jax's E early, and have a 1 second window to do so in, while Riposte only last .75 seconds, so at best she should only be countering half of them if you're mixing up when you activate the stun.

Last time I heard of galio was like in season 3 when he was continually ignored. He seems to have continued being ignored to this day, has he been buffed or changed at all?

Galio owns but always felt like he should be ranged and/or made to work in the jungle.

My favorite thing at the moment is Top Naut with Iceborn and Sunfire into an opposing AD melee guy.

I had someone play a Fiora against me the other day for it. He tried a level 1 fight, and I squished him like a bug. He teleported back into the fight and I got to level 2, squished him again.

Ended up losing the game anyway :saddowns: Stupid other lanes.
Also I got too big for my boots at level 7 and after taking a bit of damage from him I tried hooking him back into the tower, only to be just outside tower range and dying to his ult.

Yeah if Galio got a ranged AA and was rebalanced around that he'd be in a much better place. He's obviously designed to be an anti mage but not being able to cs without being vulnerable spits in the face of that.

Also if they made his shield give him a Rammus-esque damage reflect that only worked on minions+monsters so he could jungle that would be neato too.

Super-agreed re: Galio needing to go ranged. I'm usually stuck using his Q and E to CS against a ranged lane opponent, which is lovely for the first 5-10 min when he has so little mana / mana regen.

Run teleport, buy chalice the second you get the money for it. Problem solved.

The new shen is really fun toplane, there's surprisingly a lot of outplay potential in his kit. I was outbullying a Renekton to the point he got randuins first against me despite me getting camped and him being like 1/0/2 or something.

Kog'maw is pretty good when you don't explode, go figure. He gave me my first pentakill. :woop:

Also he can instantly charge up zeke's herald, I don't really think he benefits from it much, though, so I told the Leona to tag Lux with it, but it worked out regardless I guess.

In other news, is QSS/Merc Scim the best item in the game right now, or is it just me? It feels like I build it every game now.

I'm bad but it feels like getting an extra 20-30 AP plus extra crit with a large malus to your critical hit damage doesn't feel super powerful, but it does have basically an 100% uptime when you're fighting with it.

Fiora / Garen is reasonably even. Garen needs to max E over Q though, in case he was considering otherwise. I've played Fiora into Q max Garen and it's a joke, because you Riposte all his damage and then poo poo on him. Fiora outscales Garen but Garen can definitely snowball that lane in his favour, either alone or with the help of the jungler.

Here's my big list of Fiora matchups:

Unplayable for Fiora:
Graves

Real bad for Fiora:
Quinn, Tryndamere

Not great but playable:
Poppy, Lissandra, Lulu, Malphite, Pantheon, Trundle

Even and fun:
Renekton, Darius, Irelia, Riven,

Even and uninteresting:
Shen, Garen, Nasus, Olaf

Fiora with slight edge:
Jax, Xin Zhao (I think), Nautilus, Mundo, Kayle, Wukong, Cho'gath, Gangplank, Ryze

Fiora shits on:
Tahm Kench (post nerf+bugfix), Gnar, Yasuo, Volibear, Swain, Vlad

Kog is one of the few ADCs that not just benefits from having AP, but actually has some in his build due to Rageblade. This means that Zeke's on him uses both halves of it, rather than just the crit like most ADCs. Also the 100% uptime as you noted
