Pending Galio update

Horrible horrible idea.. Most people have no idea what galio even does and so they think he isnt viable. I will agree that galio's kit is a "little" clunky but he is honestly one of the better kits still in the game. He is like hyper tank where vayne is hyper carry. When you see galio played properly or even improperly with the right concepts not only can he completely change the game in a team fight but he can draw pressure anywhere on the map and easily walk away from 3 or 4 players (even killing a couple on the way out). Idk i have always enjoyed playing galio and recently started spamming him nonstop again. Galio mains every where are pondering this rework and everyone wants something different so lets break down galio.

Passive- gain AP off MR

  This is great for playing anti mage  especially when malz  brand  leblanc and kat are all currently running amuck everywhere

Q - AOE damage and slo

   This is a fantastic damage ability and the slow allows for kiting  escaping and chasing.  when there is a rampaging WW running at yoru team it can tend to be a huge help.

W- Runic Bulwark- the god of all league abilities

   At max rank provides 90 AR and MR to whom ever he places it on.  Heals him on hit  based on his ap.  I mean with lethality builds on nearly every AD champ since the recent buff  runic bulwark is a must have .

E- Long range straight line damage dealing movement speed increasing fun

Just as it is the ability allows galio to farm safely from a distance and poke enemy champions down. Can be cast to increase ally movement speed and your own for engaging fights but also allowing a low hp team to escape the rampaging hecarim chasing them down.

R- AOE taunt does damage based on damage recieved

Just what it says.. If you ever see a galio land a 5 man ult after timing all the enemy teams CC cooldowns you will know that this has to be one of the most god fearing ults in the game.

Im personally not sure that there is a rework riot can offer that will make galio better than he currently is. He provides utility tank sustain damage and burst damage based on how you play him and build him..

a goddamn Urgot can be viable in the right hands does that mean we shouldn't rework him? how about mordekaiser? or Aatrox? every single champion in the game can be viable if they are used by the right people, doesn't change the fact that they are complete garbage by the vast majority of players

Reworks aren't just about making champions viable,but also about making them more exciting to play(and better to play against) and better fit with their thematic.

Also at this point the rework is too far gone to be cancelled,he'll be released either in this month or the next,meaning they did already pour several months worth of work into him,they won't scrap that just because you say that he can be viable in the right hands.
