Congratulations of ruining Galio
So far every Galio player ive talked greatly dislike the new one. The old one was able to deliver decent damage, even carry while being support. The new one is just a CC-slave, he is less entertaining, less effective, less fun.
His unique MR to AP passive changed for a "every once in a while i punch hard". The only thing i though "mhe, could be interesting" is his E (justice punch), of course, thinking it could be used to jump walls, but nope, not even that. His previous spell was more reliable for escaping and at least gave a speedboost to your team, now the big windup + that you stop when you are near an enemy champion makes it completely unusable for retreat.
And of course, his "shield" can now only be used offensively, and instead of having a unique concept like his previous one (heals with DoTs and when hit), it's just 2 spells mashed into 1 button.
Normally when a new champ comes out (or a rework), you see it in every single match for like a month, now it has been a few days since its release and i haven't seen anyone using him.
Its obvious he was reworked to fit one of the little boxes riot has been trying to encase every champ lately (Vanguard in his case), which of course, ends up making champions very similar, and in his case, almost a
.
His lack of casing was what made him more interesting.
His Q was good at slowing enemies, which again, good to catch enemies or run away from a range, now everything he has forces him to get in melee range (because he is a vanguard now).
If i wanted to play Galio as he is now, i would have played Malphite from the beginning.
God, even his new vanilla skin looks weird, even a more "gothic" look could have done the trick.
P.S.: please don't ruin my main Jg Eve.
