Support Galio (rework)

Hello all,

Just been pondering the status of Galio as a league of legends champion. He's been a favorite from the start for me and somehow even got me to Silver my first year playing as a support (I have learned much since then). :) Any who, the thought keeps coming into my head, why hasn't League reworked him into a support, for real? As far as I have read into his lore he states to be a person who comes to aid other summoners on the Rift. His W ability as we know can be used on allies and his R ability, of course, is a great CC ability with a good amount of damage. Although his abilities as a whole seem very incongruent. I like the idea of him being some sort of tanky CC support in the bot lane rather than an occasional counter to brand players.

Some issue I have initially deal with his E ability perhaps as a support stripping the damage away form this ability as a whole and creating a CC ability that can acts as an directional push (depending on direction) meaning speed boost or push back. I mean he does have wings we might as well use them. The zone for this would then need to increase. Instead of a long line to walk through a zone about as wide (maybe less) could be created in a short span for the ability. Now, the direction of this ability is also a blessing or a curse. When used poorly Galio can actually deter allies and assist enemies so placement would be key. Great for initiates as well as peel.

Regarding his E ability the sustain he receives is pretty nice when his allied adc would be taking damage but I think a change similar to Soraka where he actually loses health maybe interesting. Basically when applying his shield to an ally Galio would lose health when giving his shield, however the opportunity to gain health back would need to be there as well as the actual amount of shielding whether that be MR/Armor or the norm be in place (I am sure you guys would be better at figuring those numbers than I could). Even adding health regeneration as a passive to the ability could be an option verses an outcome of damage taken by an ally could work.

His Q ability now seems to be the standing reason why he's an AP caster, besides his R of course. The idea with this change would also include CC and armor pen. The idea is that his Q would still be ranged but instead of doing damage the enemy hit would suffer the slow but also lower their MR and Armor for a certain amount of time with some damage but not like it currently is. I personal have issue landing his Q with the timing and range, so hitting it would pay off or perhaps cause a bad trade in lane.

Keep his R ability maybe less damage?

Just an idea :) I want support Galio!!!!
