i love playing this guy but I find myself hardly ever getting an opportunity to use my ult. correct me if im wrong but you need someone that is tanky and that can engage because if you ult a squishy champion thinking you might be able to help them chances are they are dead before the initial animation of your ult go off. ive been playing galio quite a bit recently and every time i ult a squishy i just end up in a terrible situation. if he could get back the damage reduction on his ult or even half the amount of damage reduction maybe that would be ok?

God galio is such a tragic story. I loved playing him when he was first reworked even w/ the low ap scalings ap bruiser into tanky item 3027 item 3151 item 3065 item 3083 .

And when they rebalanced him to build ap (after the obvious fiesta that was the release of that w/ the 1 shot Q) once they balanced the #s a bit.

But now he's been gutted so hard that his damage is basically what it was when he was building full tank, except he builds full ap now and is actually quite squishy and now he can't even taunt flash, which after all the nerfs was pretty much all he was good for.

Another notch on the list of champs that got absolutely shit on b/c of pro play. Feelsbadman.

Wish Maokai and tanks could actually go back to being, ya know, tanks. Not walking fonts of health for the enemy to cash off of.

Yeah, I was disappointed their means of fixing him were to buff his damage only last time. It was nice to have but his damage but was pretty good already. I would have preferred lower damage abilities if his ultimate could have utility added back into it (deserved, since he can no longer flash taunt and thereby has much less utility) - either that or drastically reduce the time it takes for the entire spell to function. Its already mediocre distance, long-cast time, interuptable, and lacks any damage reduction. It feels like walmart brand shen ultimate.

I don’t think giving him back damage reduction on his Ult as he is now would be smart. Right now he’s fairly strong, and just giving him back one of the biggest strengths they had to take away early on would be not only random but it’d push him over the edge again for being overpowered.

The damage reduction on his Ult simply ate too much of his power budget, with it his one ultimate was essentially a Shen and an Pantheon Ult combined with Hard CC to boot, and that’s way too good combined with his base kit also bringing CC, damage, and a frontline to the table.

All of that being said though, I agree that galio’s Ultimate feels pretty clunky nowadays. And even if I land a 3-4 man Ult it doesn’t feel satisfying. Maybe a small knockup duration buff, a channel duration decrease, or a cooldown buff sure, but I disagree on giving him that DR back.

No hate, I just want my boy to be healthy for the game as a whole.

I whish he had the inner aoe with more damage/CC in his ult back, so landing a good ult actually feels rewarding and following up on a good engage really becomes nice...

Imo haveing him as a strong followup on hard engage would be nicer than him beeing once again a babysitter for his carry
