I don't think he's ruined per se, but he's been nerfed to an extremely weak state in solo queue. The extent of the nerfs also seem very unnecessary because he isn't even played often in pro play anymore... I think he's more poorly balanced than poorly designed/reworked. For some reason, the balance team doesn't seem to want to allow him to exist in any area of play, even though most players don't even mind him. If he were allowed to have 20% pick rate in pro play, then he could have like 5% pick rate in solo queue, but if Riot wants him to have <5% pick rate in pro play (which is unreasonable and represents extreme bias towards specific champions) then that translates into <1% pick rate and complete unviability in solo queue.

Ruining champs is the new norm. Riot is a joke.

Ruined? Ruined would imply that there was something to ruin. Let's be honest, the ONLY thing old Galio had going for him was the flash taunt.

Being able to flash while taunting was bordering on toxic when coupled with everything else he was capable of doing. He became a teamfighting boon and a constant lane threat with almost no frames after the flash to avoid if a play was started by either him or a jungler. Too much of his power budget had to be given to that and left out of the rest of his kit because of this. Whether or not I agree about having it, they kept removing power from him because he could do that one thing and still be average at all other bases. Now he has room for buffs in all other areas of his abilities, and I hope they take the time to flesh that out soon.

i.e. Gaining Unstoppable on his W charge, W charge range increasing faster and starting at a slightly longer range, Ult giving back inner and outer circle again, Q mana cost going down, passive shield modifying his passive smash damage by same amount, etc.

Flash-taunt was way too cheese a mechanic, and should never have existed. The Rift is a better place without it. I dislike that he's unviable now, but that's nothing numbers adjustments won't fix.

Can you really say you ruined a champ that used to be so bad?

Or do you mean from post-rework to now? Cuz that was pretty lame...

The problem is teleporting ults. Same shit with taliyah tahm and ryze. Stop doing that to champs, wtf do thier ults have to include a global tp?? Then they nerf them for everyone bc the pros make coordinated plays around teleporting ults. I just dont get it
