I'm a Galio main...Riot, what the hell did you do?

Listen, I know Galio needs a rework. They probably figure there's only a few weirdos like me who play Galio, so why not fuck with it? Same logic they had with Dominion, which I also played a lot of by the way. One of my favorite gamemodes might be gone, but at least I have a fancy rare icon to show off, right? Sigh...

But I digress...you totally ruined Galio, Riot. I'm glad he still gets benefits from stacking MR, I'm glad he still has an AoE taunt...that's all great. But you literally just STOLE THREE MOVES from Malphite and tacked them onto Galio! His new Ult is just Shen + Malphite ult. His new E is just a mini malphite ult. He has a passive shield now, like Malphite, and his attacks passively do AoE damage, LIKE MALPHITE.

So that's three moves you stole from Malphite, but FOUR moves total! Because both his new ult and his new E both mimic Malphite's ult. Good friggin' job.

they made him "fun" by getting rid of his mopey gargoyle masochistic personality/looks and turned him into a "slow" and "friendly" rowdy roughhouser with too much time on his hands and nothing to do with it.

oh and he's a colossus now. a colossus. he's a colossus that likes to engage in bar brawling. I hope you're happy.

They squeezed his entire kit into 2 abilities

I play Urgot and Galio, this new thing is not Galio at all, you have no choice but to build him tank. With the Old Galio you had shield that healed you, buffed other champs temporarily, poke with Q and E, mobility with E and an offensive ult to punish ganks and potentially turn the fight around. All Riot needed to do was make his Ult not get interrupted so easily. The skins are nice but this guy sucks. He will not get pro play

Will Hextech Galio ever go for 260?

It is truly the strangest looking Ryze rework I've ever seen.

Frankly they should of keep his old ult. his Q looks fine, his W they should of come up with something else (see prior statement), and his E needs a longer range
