I have only logged one game so far, but it was against brand, who is pretty strong right now. Stomped him. No effort required. Rush that 
and get to work. Any other gargoyle success stories out there to corroborate mine?
Mautok2 votesI found 
is awesome again with some of the new items [slayer-jinx-catface]
Tormentula1 votesThe sad thing is is not a good item for him anymore. Its actually a support item right now along with 
. Now revolves around healing done to your allies, which galio i don't believe can do (never played him honestly, just speaking of the item).
If you're play support galio than absolutely he's a beast right now.
Eevee In A Jar2 votesBoth items still work will Galio. Galio has soooooo bad mana pool. Not many mana items give him MR. Chalice gives him mana regen AND MR. It's a pretty good item regardless on Galio. Things are situational. You can build Chalice on Galio almost every game for the mana regen early in lane doubly so if it's a lane you will surely be behind in CS and must use abilities to try to farm.
Tormentula1 votesWouldn't building 
be better tho? Both give CDR, and either one offers mana regen and MR. Might as well add MP with abyssal, may not exactly be MP but MR reduction.
The problem I'm seeing is you're using a pointless passive that's not too useful on the champ, just for the stats when you can build a combination of items that give the stats, and have long term affect passives. Unless I'm missing something with the healing mechanics as the description is pretty odd.
The only upside to athenes I can see, is it offers the stats with an easier build path early in one item slot rather than two, but then you move to late game where the stats are less relavent and you have an item with almost no passive.
Speaking of mana pool, I wonder how well 
would work on him now with it's price reduction.
Eevee In A Jar1 votesYou're going to build Abyssal Staff anyways but if you need to rush Abyssal in the first place, you're probably going to have to build Chalice for mana regen anyways during laning. Galio's early to mid laning is pretty god awful. I'd say easiest way is to use your shield and AA for last hitting and use your abilities to trade but most champs can out-trade you and outplay early Galio.
Not to say it's useless but if you're BLINDLY building Morello on Galio every game, you don't quite understand how to build yet. For champs like Galio, I wouldn't build Morello unless the opposing team has multiple sustain champs. Now with that said, Morello can still work. It's not an item that WON'T work... just remember your job as Galio, your role, is to be MR AoE tanker (in response to using a passive not too useful ona champ). You're making the mistake in that you want to play as Galio AP carry which can work for fun but not in competitive really. IMO if you absolutely hate Chalice and got the right runes and masteries to keep your mana pool up, you can sell it later to replace it with Morello if you wish. But be warned perhaps you haven't had really competitive matchups with Galio yet. It is a nightmare to lane with Galio and you will eventually be forced to get creeps by using your abilities. And his mana pool early game as I mentioned is so awful that his laning falls behind hard if you make mistakes.
Oh also forgot! Remember Galio's base damage for his Q is pretty high already. It isn't about stacking the highest amount of AP damage.
ModKnightsKemplar1 votesIt worked great for me.
Here's the thing. it works with his w, and it's awesome. try it.
