Why Is It That Riot Keeps Nerfing Galio's Ult Instead of Everything Else About Him?

Galio is so frustrating to play against. He locks me down for a solid 3 seconds and sets up ganks so easily with flash. Only counterplay is blowing my summoners too.

I can't kill him yet he can kill me. I feel like I always have to pick an AD champ just to have a somewhat solid chance against him. It's either that or I use my ban on him.

I also don't understand why a tank has better waveclear than many mages. It's actually insane!

He's slow, and is pretty badly beaten by AD. Maybe stop playing mages vs him. If he taunts you and you're playing a champion that gets all their damage from abilities, then yeah, you're getting bodied and not even trading.

Riot wants him to be a ap mage from no reason.

Tank? People play Galio as a tank?

Last I checked everyone plays him as a goddamn burst mage.

Maybe it’s because I’ve played Galio since the rework came out but I feel he telegraphs everything.

With that being said I’m sure they will nerf him. But everyone has a weakness.

His ult, like other abilities with very strong global or semi-global teamfight presence, is disproportionately stronger in coordinated play than it is in solo queue. Moving power from his ult to his basic abilities makes him weaker in the former (where he's been very viable basically since his rework went live) and stronger in the latter (where he's been pretty terrible since his rework went live).
