Sad Gargoyle =(
I am someone who loves Galio, have played a lot of Galio games, and a very respectable win ratio on him of 80%+. I play everything however so I take a break from playing champions to play others, so I really wanted to play some old champions like Kog'Mage and Galio; AP Kog'Maw game went well despite being rusty on him and missing skill shots on the skill shot champion and being frustrating because I was against a literal 1v4 mid lane- at least my side lanes won because no one was against them and even with them shutting me down I still went even with the enemy Azir but all this is besides the point I am just rambling on...
To the point, I didn't realize how much the Grail nerfs hurt Galio until I actually played him again and he is REALLY hurting from the nerfs. Either Chalice/Grail need to get buffed (especially grail) or Galio needs some serious mana regen and mana pool buffs AND mana cost buffs. Galio just really suffers right now, he is still playable and can make him work, but a low popularity champion getting really nerfed in season 5 is really weird. I am a little salty though mainly because champions who are blatantly overpower and/or dominant (lee sin, jarvan, riven, zed, leblanc, fizz, irelia) avoid nerfs patch after patch and one of the less popular champions gets nerfed when they hover around 50% win rate (I do hate looking at win rates, but I am just stating that I think he is balanced).
Take this as you will; just wanted to share my thoughts and opinions of Galio. So have a nice day everyone! ~ Stacona
