Galio should be given an official recommended jungle build.

He fits into the jungle and I don't understand how it's not realized. I would want it to be something like this:

Starting items:

Core items: or and

Offensive items:

Defensive items:

I feel that this needs to be recognized as a legitimate thing, because it really is.

Honestly I feel like using smite should make hunters machete, the relevant smite and enchantment all become recommended. It would honestly be a good thing.

He's a bad jungler.

you can put him in jungle and its not a disaster or anything, but the clear time is PAINFULLY slow. If the enemy has an ap mid or top solo laner he is SUCH a useful bully against them. so overall this is jsut failing at smart delegation. Also even considering any galio build without athenes instantly gets like 10 automatic downvotes from me rylais makes no sense at all on galio. if you need armor get thornmail. with some magic pen the damage from thornmail isnt so bad. he is a tank ergo making him untargettable is just kinda ridiculous ga doesnt make much sense on galio. hes not the sort of champ that is going to be able to use the second life. With the jungle item, cinderhulk would make much more sense so a reasonable final build would look more liek this: item 3174 item 1323 item 3725 item 3001 item 3102 item 3065 (vs very ap heavy team, without much mr, this is where galio would rule) or... item 3075 item 3135

you absolutely cannot do without athenes as galio. you simply wont have the cdr or mana that you need to be worth anything at all.

Here are the things I disagree with A: Runeglaive fixes his mana problems a lot faster than Athenes which is something he really needs in the jungle, along with providing faster clears. I think it's a bit like Elise. You can reasonably go both, but I believe in Runeglaive for both. So really it's just an opinion. B: Thornmail does not work on anyone not stacking armor now because of the changes to it. C: When going against an AD heavy team GA is a MUST if you expect to effectively use your ult. Even if you did buy thornmail, you will have issues when ulting the team and getting destroyed.

In summary; Your argument was very reasonable and makes sense, however I'm guessing that we are going to have to agree to disagree.
