Hotfix Galio (please read)

Full AP Galio is ridiculous. He can 100-0 an adc with a single Q, which is spammable. No one should be able to have a HUGE area of effect ability that is not even an ultimate being able to 100-0 an adc. Not to mention he can have some tankiness. Hotfix??

I would show footage, but apparently the replay has expired? I guess even the replay function couldn't handle Galio's ridiculousness.

item 3165 item 3089 item 3020 item 3151 item 3116 item 3135

At this full build, his passive (a single basic) deals 564 magic damage.

His Q deals 793 magic damage + 483 + 62% of target's max health in magic damage over time???? It's also on a 4.5 second cooldown, costs 90 mana and has a huge area of effect.

He can have up to 613 health shield too with this build. He gains 40+(0)+(35)% damage reduction on his W active (which is 75% by the way!!) from magic damage and half that for physical damage.

His E deals 843 magic damage. Which is ALSO AoE with some radius, AND it knocks them into the air.

His ultimate, well... it deals 835 magic damage, and grants 30% damage reduction to target ally before he lands.

That means, in a single combo, he can deal 835 + 843 + 564 + 793 + 483 + 62% of target's max health, if he lands all of it. That's 3518 base damage, and then 62% of target's max health ON TOP OF IT ALL?

Who thought this was a good idea, like seriously? He deals more damage than freaking Veigar, and is tankier than a Jax with ultimate that builds tank items.

Don't ever complain about Galio's shield, or his damage reduction on W.

It used to be a lot scarier.

I don't know if you've noticed, but they're looking into Galio..

So it is okay for Nasus to 100-0 with a 1 second Q... But Galio isn't allowed to have a buff.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

They're both melee champions.

Galio's Q is a skillshot.

He can 100-0 an adc with a single Q

How is this a problem? Assassins cant kill ADC's so someone has to.

So... have you never seen AP Galio before? I could 100-0 ADCs easily before the slight ratio buffs, and it's no different now.

Thing is, he's hyper telegraphed and all skillshots. Sooooo... get good?

His Q deals [...] 62% of target's max health in magic damage

It actually doesn't. Sorry. It does 3% per 100 AP three times. So, if you have 600 AP, it's doing 18% if you stand in it the entire time.

His E deals 843 magic damage. Which is ALSO AoE with some radius, AND it knocks them into the air.

It's not AoE. You stop at the first champ and hit ONLY THEM. You might be confusing his passive for part of his E. And um... no. It doesn't do 843 damage.

His ultimate, well... it deals 835 magic damage, and grants 30% damage reduction to target ally before he lands.

As I recall, they nerfed it to 20%. And it's also very easily dodged, so.

Can we please just give the Perfect Tank: Galio, the Ornn, Naut treatment and make his Q cost some actual mana so he doesn't just push waves for day with little issue. Seriously, I can suck ass with Galio but stay completely caught up to my laner because Q and passive clear waves like nothing.
