The more I play Galio the more I love his play style, and I'm nervous how the rework is going to change him. I love being a tank mage, being able to poke from a far and waituntil they blow there CC and then you go in use W and pop your ult. I really hope he keeps a similar play style (plz riot). Is there any ideas for what they plan on doing to him?
Galio's play style may sing to you, but it's a disjointed mess that isn't cohesive or logical to pick up without extensive time learning how to function with the two conflicting roles he seeks to be in. All at once he wants to be far away poking while at the same time in the fray beating on people, and nothing in his kit has any cohesion with itself.
I too love Galio, and I hope and pray they keep him as a primary tank, and not try to shift him into some sort of weird Mage.
The only news I have heard on it is that at this stage of development he is a warden/battlemage. If you don't know what those are here is a link that will help: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/dev-blog-classes-subclasses
Just know that its still early in the rework, so that could potentially change.
Im going to miss his W and Ult. I hope to see an ability that causes damage to heal instead return in some way. Ult might be staying though so thats good
There was a comment on the monthly AMA with Ghostcrawler about Galio if you want to listen (it's super short though) https://www.twitch.tv/leagueoflegends/v/107500236 starting at 00:32:30 They said he feels halfway between a warden and a battle mage right now apparently.
