Can we get old Galio back?
He was my main, back before you reworked him. (Same with morderkaiser, but you know.....) He was incredibly well balanced and had clear cut weaknesses and strengths. Not to mention good counterplay options for both himself and his opponents.
New galio is just... Gross
Similarly to Aatrox, he's got a flashy kit with lots of "options" but in reality you can only do so much with all of that "variety."
His Q is too easily dodged, His W's very circumstantial (and just like his old ult, often used in tandem with flash.) and his E is just mediocre. (conditional mobility that's easily interrupted if his opponent wants to.) Leaving us with just the ult. It's so incredibly lack luster and garbage due to the delay time. The only redeeming factor is the damage reduction given to his ally.
A few extra notes. His passive is stupid, as it does minimal damage, and delays his Auto attack animation. The new W passive is generally useless and especially in this AD heavy meta serves no real purpose. At least Galio's old passive converted 50% of his MR into AP so building tank really worked.
UGH, I just have new galio, and I've tried so so so hard to like him I just can't.
Hell just re-release galio has... "Garyion" or something along the lines. As a legacy design. The league could use a champion like him again.
(Just a word of warning, if anyone wants to complain about his old ult being instant CC, just remember that Empowered autos were not blocked by it. So
(counterstrike was the bane of my existence)
plus a million interactions with skillshot CC countered it super hard.)
would be incredibly powerful on him, not to mention that phase rush combined with his E would give him solid speed to engage with. (potentially impact velocity with his Q as well.)
His mana costs were high yes, but with many items having large mana-pools now would easily rectify that problem.
