@Riot, What happened to Galio Update?

A long while back, I remember a Red posting about how they were gonna rework his current passive into his abilities' ratios and give him a new passive that would give him a quality of life improvement. I can't remember if they had an idea for the new passive, but I remember being hyped about an idea someone posted. Pasive: Galio's Size and width of his attack abilities (all aoe) increase with MR. All his abilities scale with MR. (The exact scaling would be shown in each abilities tool tip, like Taric with armor)

Gah, another thread asking for champions like Ao Shin. Galio's never going to be released, guys. Riot never promised to release him.

To be honest?

Like, really, truly?

I like Galio as-is. The only changes I could possibly ask for would be a faster Q travel speed and for him to NOT stop momentarily while casting E.

For actual mechanics on abilities, I wish it would not only buff ally movement speed if they travel on directional path but ALSO slow enemies down if they try to travel AGAINST the directional path.

We pulled those changes because they weren't hitting the mark, in terms of solving issues on Galio or making him more satisfying to play. For one thing there's not really any available power budget for an alternative passive. Galio's not popular at present, but he's pretty effective in the average game, so we don't have space to add power to him without pulling it elsewhere.

For the love of balance, please, no. I'm sick of seeing Riot "updating" champions only for them to be dumpstered after release.

I think Galio is in a fine state atm.

His passive is a double edge sword, good against AP champs and bad against AD champs.

If I were to change his passive, I would make it togglable and give it a cooldown of around 8 seconds?

wtf Galio is good just the way he is. just make it so that he range instead of melee will bring Galio evolution into the meta. even if it an AD meta.

Make him ranged. Problem solved.

I've been active on the boards for almost 2 years and I have never heard of anything regarding a Galio update like this.

If the mage update is next, PLZ o PLZ Riot, Don't forget to give Galio's Kit some love. :) (Really just the passive, the rest of his kit is OK)

My Galio Update: Role: Mage, Support Tank Passive: Runic Pennance: All Galio's Abilities scale with MR. When Galio takes damage from an enemy he gets increased movement speed towards that enemy. Q: Resolute Smite:

Increase Missile Speed E: Righteous Gust:
Righteous gust pushes enemies to the end of the draft, if they collide with a wall they are briefly stunned.

My guess is that he may most likely be included in the immobile mage update and see a graves size rework or even bigger
