Galio W won't cast.

Just lost a game because Galio's taunt would never cast. I did a perfect initiate, and as i tried to do what would have been a four man taunt, ended in me dying instead and lost us the game.

I press spammed my W for several seconds, and it never cast. There was no silence in their team, i wasn't CC'd. I was walking in the middle of the enemy team unhindered and they took me easily without my W damage reduction.

It's not the first time i've seen this bug happen. Very often after landing with ult or E, W will just not cast at all for a few seconds, even if you try to spam it.

In general his ability usage is very clunky, and there seems to be no way to queue abilities one after the other, Galio must always wait for his animation to be over before taking into account any imput for another spell.

Just tried Galio few games myself and noticed the same thing. Had problem casting W almost every other teamfight, had to be extra careful and press W several times for it to work. Same as with other abilities... e.g. had a feeling that galio sometimes doesnt move when I cast Q slightly out of his range.

Plus I can basically only agree that it is almost impossible to cast abilities one after the other in a short time.

From what I gather, this isn't actually a bug, just a mechanical error on your part. Here . is why:

To cast Galio's W, you have to hold and release the 'W' key, much like Poppy's hammer charging up. The range of the taunt can be seen by a greyish circle around you that enlarges itself, as you hold it down. Spamming the 'W' key will just mean u charged it up for 0.1 seconds and your taunt range is negligible. I have tried Galio myself, on NA and EUW servers and have not run into any issues to date with Galio's Taunt, unless something cropped up over the last 15 or so hours.
