Galio was nerfed from 53% winrate to 44% winrate in 1 patch because you decided to nerf Galio then Lissandra then Sylas instead of actually nerfing Aftershock lol...

Now you realize that Aftershock is too good so you nerf aftershock removing its scaling damage and resist completely so now its pretty much useless on ap champs!

Ok nice now step 3 you buff Galio mid back... oh wait i dont see any on ur planned 9.9 changes lol...

So is galio mid suposed to reach 39% winrate to deserve adjustement in the mid lane or did i miss something??

Dont act surprised if Galio need major hotfix buffs during next live patch that you could of tested this PBE patch....

Zac Shen Galio Sejuani aren't for you. They belong to LC$ now. LCS seriously turned this game into an unfun piece of shit. When is the next RGM?

Can they just revert him to where he was pre 8.24?[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Champion was too op, he clearly needed hard nerfs. I would remove 100 base move speed from all midlane champions.

Ok now lets get back to buffing Vayne and Riven since their struggling

Like, even without the nerf to Aftershock, they killed the Sylas tank build pretty good by weakening the multiplication value of his heal, nerfing a good chunk of bases, and adding some cooldowns. Issue is they also hit some ratios that shouldn't have been touched. Sylas currently is still maxes W second, but the tradeoff for maxing it is massive than it needs to be. You practically get a massive net loss unless you rush DC after your first item. If i'm forced to do that, then that should be setting off alarms that he needs buffs to that heal that dont bring back the tank build, but he also needs some damage back.

As for Galio, they just need to keep him as a anti-mage champion. Isn't the point of Petricite that it absorbs magic? As it stands, he cant even handle a good chunk of magic damage without being blasted to high hell. Adjust him away from the R. If you need to nerf the range then do it.

I wonder if humans work in the balance team.

Oh boo hoo you can't build full AP and still be a tank.

If you want good benefit from Aftershock build tank items, It's a tank rune after all.

I'm sick to death of seeing champions like Galio, Lux, Lissandra, Fiddlesticks, Ryze taking aftershock and still doing Mage/Assassin levels of damage while being super tanky without investing in defensive stats.

Even if he do need help, expectations on him should be reasonable:

even in the rare moments he was balanced, a lot of people argued that he either lacked tankiness or damage, depending on which he alraedy possessed. A lot of people should understand that a bulky anti-mage getting free damage while not even building it on top of having the huge base damages of a tank should have definite weaknesses at some point. Either he is more tanky, either he does more damage, or a balanced mix of both, but he can't get the best of both worlds like he used to do at certain points. Pre-rework Galio is ironically the model for such balance and yet most people seems to just forget about him.

I get the fact that the meta needs to change, but if they keep nerfing champs into less than 49% win rate, they should add 10 bans more for 45% win rate champs that people picks in ranked zzz

Maybe the balance team changed or they just moving numbers on notepads while saying that they are working. Great meta change for variety i like it.

Riot does this all the time, they try to nerf everything except the blatantly obvious problem then they don't undo all the nerfs once said problem is fixed.

i can see riot buffing galios q

"we remember the 3% per tick of max hp damage... we had to hotfix that in a few hours... but we try it again xDDD"

I'm pretty sure they just throw darts at a dart board.

Galiö4/24/2019, 1:55:23 PM1 votes

Atleast you still have your champion :')

He is pretty mediocre as a solo laner right now and will def be pretty bad after the Aftershock changes... but may be better for Support Galio... so he will prob not be buffed because he has a decent playrate as a support and is being played as an Ali alternative in Competitive...

So I doubt they will prioritize changes anytime soon...

Is there some sort of taboo list of things we're not allowed to pick because I seem to pick from that list that seemingly doesn't exist far too often for my liking. I tried Galio support recently because the enemy had a lot of magic damage and we just got rolled over and I can't help but feel like my allies were inting and possibly because they didn't like my pick although none of them mentioned my pick.
