Thanks bb. i will pray that his w stays in his kit somehow someway and not be thrown together as part of another spell (like a new ult based off old ult and old w)

I would be surprised if it isn't changed significantly. Galio's w has the same arbitrary strengths against some champs that Poppy's old passive had (the one where if an attack did more than a certain % of her health, the damage was cut in half). To give an example, if ashe is attacking Galio (with his w active) and she activates her q, her damage will actually decrease. Since Galio's W only counts instances of damage, the fact that ashe's q splits her auto into 5 instances of damage it actually makes her damage worse. This is a very confusing and somewhat arbitrary interaction that Riot has been getting rid of in other champs. This interaction makes Galio arbitrarily strong against any champ that has a dot, and conversely arbitrarily weak against champs with only a few instances of damage that are much stronger than average.

Assuming Galio's w stays in any form (which I think it should), I expect it to heal based on a % of damage the shielded target takes instead of a flat amount that decreases every time you take damage. I also might expect activating your ult to make the healing stronger on your W, so that you can still do low health ults.

So then it would end up being flat dmg reduction like all ult, his old ult, and ww new e... But increased with healing. Interesting. Plus shielding a squishy will keep you SUPER alive. No wonder he looks so proud and strong while helmet bro and lux look so beat up.

Q-How long do you have to wait for a PBE acc A-About 8 years

Q-Isn't that longer then the game has been out A-Yep

Q-How would you know A-I waited that long

Q-Is PBE fun at least? A-If your willing to wait 20 mins for a game

Q-Well everything is unlocked right? I can get champ riven and other exclusives? A-Nope ^.^ Just have a ton of RP & IP, skins are 1 ip tho.

Q-Well... I can still get those skins from the skin rotations right? A-Nope, never updated. Wanted to see what winter chests were like? Had to buy em on a real server.

Q-What about draft A-We only have ranked draft and blind.

Q-So I'll do ranked draft. A-See question 4 but add 5 years

I have a PBE account and you actually start with 0 RP 0 IP. Champions and skins are 1 IP though so it's really easy to get everything after a co-op vs ai. Runes however are the same cost in IP. No idea why. Also accessories like hextech and stuff are the same; no discount.

Q-Well... I can still get those skins from the skin rotations right? A-Nope, never updated. Wanted to see what winter chests were like? Had to buy em on a real server.

True. No UFO Corki skin to try out or King Rammus. You either had to play in the beta for LOL or tough luck.

Skins Project2 votes

Once you get to level 30 you should get maxed out resources.

You can get vault items from mystery gifting/hextech crafting still.. I got ice tobogan corki.. Now why can't i have that luck on a live server.

Glory ln Death1 votes

It gets updated so that the day after you log in the first time you are automatically leveled to 30 and receive 100k IP and 40k RP.

It does seem like it is your time.

As someone who was utterly pleased with his main getting reworked, I honestly have nothing but good blessings for you. Riot really seems to have gotten the hang of these reworks and I am sure it will be different but still hold the same core values and appeal of Galio.

Godspeed, my friend. :)

Who was your main that got reworked?

Talon. Talon And let me tell you, I was worried as sin, but the result was something beyond my expectations.

They also redid Gangplank who was my very first champion and a champ i played casually still every now and then for sentimental reasons and his rework was phenomenal as well.

Talon was some interesting but in a way small changes... still much healthier than his silence days atleast. GO had huge differences but still is similar without the cheese minion sacrifice or team buffs he used to do. I feel GP was a successful rework. Th other than visually I'm not a huge fan of Poppy (Even though the older one was meh as Well) and i do not like the new trick at all (other than visually) even though the older version was kept weak cause his kit ended up being u healthy if they rebuffed him. Thats what worries me. I didn't like those two reworks the most other than what they look like and that's who is working on Galio. And so far from the teaser I'm so so on what he looks like. So if I'm not pleased with the visual and the gameplay that might be a game killer for me for a while.

Overall, i feel their consistency with the reworks has been solid. Katarina, Leblanc, Brand, Malz were also great. Warwick is almost universally praised.

If Galio turns out a mess, i will be genuinely shocked.

Those were mostly small reworks as well... in comparison. Also unlike my opinion wher3 I'm meh on and and new poppy/yorick I preferred old we for the most part. His new e is just better.

I'm a Galio main too. I'm scared about his rework because I love everything about him currently. My biggest fear is the removal of his heal. His W is the biggest reason I like him so much and chances are fairly high that it will be removed looking at past reworks.

His W was a little unhealthy BUT that was Galios main huge power spike as a champ

Well when I signed up last year (Still waiting Riot!) it said that players were picked up for a cycle, then dropped and then new players were picked up.

hue, the top comment in surrender@20 is the best doe with the 'You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about' using his first splash art... which made me always think of why they changed his second splash which IMO was much better than his third.

Doubt it. I've been waiting for PBE access for 4 years now since they made it private and I'm a 7 year Shaco main. I didn't get an invite to the PBE =(

And then they ruined Shaco.

Well like I said previously I think you're supposed to re apply every patch cycle and it's also supposed to be based off players data. Since I have many Gallo games, a high ranking Gallo account, and an affinity to Gallo based roles because.. well. I play Gallo I should be up there on the list.

then you can answer my question. do you have to re-enroll every patch or did you enroll 2 years ago and JUST get in?

Elewd1 votes

i clicked to join it 2 years ago, i sent in support tickets every now and then asking if i needed to "readd" myself to the waitlist and they'd just confirm i was still on it. the fact it took 2 years and being a Zyra main i thought i'd get in during the MYMU but nope. i finally got in during the client alpha update or whatever but it was so bugged it would crash on me and i lost my PBE account a week later =\

Lol... That's most unfortunate and lame.

Galiö1 votes

So after being a Galio main for years and spent so much time playing him... I just saw the direction they are taking and I do not like it at all. I am very upset. VERY upset. I've been sitting at work barely able to focus with how down o feel over this. This isn't a rework it's a redo. I may try him in the PBE if I get it but Idk if I care for this in the slightest.
