If you go on op.gg his numbers are even lower. Why exactly is he being nerfed again?

Galio is not being nerfed they're trying to shift scaling away from his passive auto attack onto his engage(taunt). It's part of them trying to shift Galio back to being a tanky mage instead of being a tank.

Right now if Galio builds decent AP like he used to before his rework he will rarely if ever get in range to AA priority targets enough due to his overall squishiness, whereas after this next patch he can reliably use his taunt to deal damage now.

It's not his ratios that are the problem. It's the self slow from his taunt. If they got rid of it then he'd actually be good.

But the self slow is the way to counterplay it (by outrunning it). If they removed it, it would almost be 100% guaranteed at max charge if you don't have a dash.

Ok sure but why1 votes

Riot doesn't comprehend the power of the tank meta as it is

champion.gg is pretty bad source of data.

its decent over time, its only horrible post patch/update when they bring in the numbers from low volume sources.

it even states in the top right corner when data was taken from, ie 2 days ago, or total post patch. they update every other day with all the data they get.

so really, they're doing true science, reporting what they have. the common masses just dont understand the term "small sample size" and you expect immediate results based on nothing.

I'm not complaining. I'm concerned about Galio. I don't want him to be garbage because Riot doesn't know how to balance this champ.
