Why are you guys STILL nerfing Galio?????

I really hope some compensation buffs are coming in somewhere. Galio has a sub 48% winrate everywhere...

Hero's Entrance (R) Cooldown increased from 160/140/120 to 180/150/120 Ally damage reduction lowered from 20/30/40% to 20% at all ranks

And his E got nerfed by 20 damage at all ranks...

The nerfs to his damage and mostly Q made sense. He was doing way too much for a tank. But now he's pretty average compared to other tank types, in fact he's below average as seen by his win rate.

Are you guys gonna increase his magic resistance scaling or something cause this is totally lame and I don't even play Galio that often...

Was honestly expecting a few more small buffs to help Galio but y'all are just abandoning him :C

Honestly a bit bothered by his ult nerfs combined with his E nerfs.

The cooldown increase? Sure, it's powerful enough to warrant that. The DR reduction? That just seems like too much.

I am bothered and depressed. Although I only play Galio once in awhile I love him.

Hold me as I weep. x(

Because pro play > regular play. I know it's sad, but that's how League of Legends works.

Pleaseee NOOOOOO.

Hold me as I weep.

Galio has had problems with balance on release and Riot has done work in order to get him into a good spot. This just feels like they've given up and are just gonna leave him in the gutter x(

they released him blatantly op so you would get to love him, now his time is passed and they want their flashy high mobility back.

am i the only one who thought straight 40% damage reduction was op? thats tanky without buying tank items.

standard riot tactics. give and then rip it back out of our hands.

back to lee/graves/irelia/ whatever else has been the standard.

just go ahead and do a full revert, thats what we really want.

at least compensate AP galio and raise his ratios a bit just to stay on par.

I also felt that 40% DR on it's own was busted as well (WW has it too but has more pronounced weaknesses). I feel like they would eventually nerf that percent down to like 30 or 20 but make it scale better with magic resistance but isntead we get this...

I really hope Riot doesn't bring these changes live, I honestly don't think they have any good context for these nerfs aside from LC$...

Because as long as he does the ol' Vlad trick and build full tank mid lane and win match ups, he will be nerfed. Mid lane is for damage. Anyone building tank in mid lane and doing well gets gutted until they properly go top lane.

He can't do that anymore after they nerfed his Q damage! Sure it's going to be hard to push him out of lane but he won't be able to kill you on his own. It's like playing any tank mid lane, you can't really kill them but they can't kill you either.

His winrate in mid lane proves that!
