I keep forgetting Galio is Melee Range. Can we change that?

Whenever I play Galio, I am so use to using his spells that have range (Q,E) that I keep forgetting that when I am out of mana or need to last hit a minion, I have to fly right up to them to punch them.

I know a lot of Melee champs usually have 1 skill that has some range (Example Aatrox E and Diana Q) but Galio spells are all range. Even his shield technically is range since you can place it on other characters from farther away.

So why is a Galio, whose skills are all ranged, has a melee auto attack?

Galio would be pretty scary if he could safely farm early.

His weak early (pre-Chalice) game helps to balance out his great mid and late game. By mid game, Galio gets to clear waves and poke like a siege mage while tanking like a fed MR version of Rammus or Malphite. Being melee is part of that early game weakness. If he had ranged auto attacks, he would simply be too safe. Imagine pre-rework Gragas with ranged autoattacks and an MR-to-AP conversion passive (in addition to a health sustain mechanic). That's what a ranged Galio would be like.

i would ratehr give him a reason to ever get in meleerange for something else than the ult. His AAs simply not worth it most off the time, and he has no mechanic tied to beeing melee at all, unlike every other tank in the game.

And I agree with that.

If you played doom the game mode not to long ago. Gailo was one the op doom bots. If you played with Gailo you saw he had a taunt circle that pop then did damage. I think Gailo would be a lot better. If every 3rd Q he hits on a CHAMPION or jungle camps the next Q will do the taunt thing. This upgrade will make Gailo a better support or and Jungler.
