Galio needs a complete kit overhaul

Galio needs changes to his kit that would make him more practical to use in games:

-He should start off with a higher mana pool. -His damage abilities should deal damage that scales off magic resist ontop of his AP -His auto attacks should be ranged to compensate for a shitty laning phase -Righteous Gust should be a unit targeted ability -His Q should be a fast moving skillshot (Like Jayce's Q) & have a lower mana cost -His ult should have him swoop down to a target location (Like Aatrox's Dark Flight) -While ulting, Galio should be invulnerable to abilities that could cancel it -Any champion damaged by Galio's ult should be stunned for .5 seconds

This would make Galio an overall better and practical champion. It would make him more consistent and forgiving, rather than completely hit-and-miss that made him an overly difficult champion to use at max potential.

He needs a full kit rework. His kit is very outdated, and his abilities are contrary to one another.

Rather than helping him tank or catch out enemies, Resolute Smite is basically just a harass and waveclear tool.

Bulwark is unique and cool. Righteous Gust is neigh worthless, as the movement speed it grants doesn't help Galio engage fights, and it's very, very predictable, seeing as it only works in one direction. It's just barely better than Skarner's old E.

His ultimate is also contrary to his other abilities, sans Bulwark. Resolute Smite and Righteous Gust promote poking from afar, while Idol of Durand requires you to be in the middle of enemies to be of any use.

Here is a rework of Galio I wrote up, that will both promote his original playstyle as a Tank, while also allowing him to be played as a Mage. It also serves his fantasy better; an eternal paragon to counter Sion's unstoppable juggernaut, and being a Gargoyle, a specialist at protecting buildings from the rooftops.

I have to disagree. I think he is in a good spot right now since they added CD reduction to his E with levels. He is one of secretly strong champs right now. I have a 73% win rate on him at the moment. He has some of the best wave clear in the game and his ult wins teamfights. Plus AP champions have a very hard time killing him. Put thornmail on him and everyone has trouble killing him.

Galio is in an amazing spot right now. There isn't any reason he is not played mid. Since this is the meta of "tanks win games" the reason he isn't picked is truly confusing.

Those changes would make him... Xin-like OP.
