Support Galio Zeke vs Mandate
Im onetricking Galio Support in Master(hovering on 100-200 LP) and i am heavily favouring Zeke either as 1st or 2nd depending on the game. And Mandate is 3rd+ if i even build it at all.
But a lot of the guides out there or even high Elo Galio players do not build Zeke at all , ever.
Especially post Mandate Rework as it fullfills the same niche(ult cooldown reduction) among other buffs as well like massive cd reduction to W and E as well as the Vuln effect.
But i do not think Mandate is worth as 1st/2nd item on most gamestates, Galio is on the squishy side of Tank Supports , and especially in Solo/Queue where most players dont like frontlining , im usually the sole tank , going Solari into mandate usually means im getting bursted down and its not like Galio has easy target access like a Naut or Safe target access like a Thresh, Galio needs to be in the middle of the fight with less tools to work with(Q is near useless on Support) and no way out. In most games the Damage is there in some form and if its not and i need a Vuln effect i can get Bloodsong.
Am i delulu? Are the other Galio players delulu? Is the Sample player of good Galio Supports too small? Or is it just "new item" must build? Im wondering what some better Galio players have to say about this.
