Give Galio His Damage Reduction Back on His Ult

i want his ult reduction HES A SUPERHERO/protector!!!

Honestly they should buff his utility and make him back a mage counter. His ult reduction on ult was nice, idk why it got removed in the first place.

Buff damage to minions, make him scale better (or at all) on his abilities via MR (nothing ridiculous, no instagibbing straight tank) but make him the counter to all the AP's like he used to be. Picking Galio mid should be a cockblock to any ap assassin, with the promise of being a huge peel/possible initiator later on. Rammus was made to counter AD's super heavily, Galio was the version for ap, and currently only gaining a small magic shield (WHICH IS BASED OFF OF HEALTH) is kind of crap, especially with as long as a recharge timer that it has. Perhaps add in a mechanic where you also gain X amount based on how many champions you taunt up to x limit or possible on top of? Maybe +20% max shield size per champion taunted or scale it off of how long the taunt was held for up to max size, reward Galio for being the defender/Tank, he really should be the bane of AP heavy comps.

Or make it like Leona, where taunting enemies with his w makes his damage reduction last longer, same concept as above. It's a little ridiculous that the big bad "Colossus" has a damage passive that scales better off of AP than MR (which is bonus MR and not total, btw) His Q, E, and R are all high AP ratios (instead of rewarding him for tankiness, again) Lower AP ratios, add some MR's to it (especially the ult like it's literally designed to help someone else for gods sake) and boom, no longer an ap powerhouse the whole time, and instead a situational AP champ with strong initiation/peeling who doesn't feel useless outside of the time that aftershock is working

Galio is not allowed to be tactical or team based because Riot needs every usable champion to be flashy and all about dashing around and doing billions of damage so "anyone can win" and certain regions get stronger along with weak players. So... I doubt he will ever be anything like what he once was.

There's so many ways to make Galio viable without breaking him.

I firmly believe that Riot's issues with balancing him stem from them not knowing what role they want him in. He SHOULD be some sort of tank/bruiser, but his damage end up going too high, at which point they nerf his tank stats and he becomes a mage, then he exploits his flash taunt so they nerf that, then add more damage.

The spiral continues ad nauseam

Give him back his taunt Flash, honestly. Fuck these damage buffs they are going to ship.

It will completely break him in pro play and give Riot a reason to break his kneecaps again tho :(
