Galio seems a little oppressive

I was playing a norms game and went Sion against Galio and I have to say His damage is WAY too high While he has a lot of counterplay to his kit he's just so resilient in lane and managed to be somewhat relevant despite being 3/7/1 to my 7/3/6 (we both had equal farm but my team got first blood tower) I think the solution should be that his base damages are toned down on his Q and the %max health damage removed, while keeping the scaling, or something like that. Because while I think AP carry like Brand or Tank killers like Vayne can have it because that's what they need to do their job Galio doesn't need all this free damage to be a CC oriented tank that saves his teammates. I mean you could argue Sion deals a lot of damage for being a tank but his Q damage is not only inconsistent, but he can't build like a carry and work effectively without using cheese-tactics like landing Q's and ults from the fog of war and bushes, and building straight tank his damage will fall off late.

This is not to imply Riot won't ever change him but no one seems to have brought this to attention. (Maybe they're too busy complaning about Lee Sin and Lulu)

Edit:If someone wants to downvote me because they can't admit release champs have problems sometimes and yell "WOT IS MR" I bought item 3155 item 3111 item 3065

I wouldn't remove his %health damage, it's only on the tornado and it's not hard to dodge. You can definitely lower it though.

Honestly he's not as CC heavy as I expected. His taunt is nice but can be too short and his E only knocks up one person (ult is too slow in the middle of teamfights).

Imo his damage is pretty good and could be lowered a bit, but I wouldn't say it's reliable enough to nerf it hard.

his damage is low

the issue is you cant kill him in 1 rotation like other champions making his secondary engage even better. i can assure you hes not 100-0ing you, hes outplaying you.

he's boring, just like Shen he'll farm and push all day long and never interact with you

except galio can clear the entire wave between his Q and passive so there's not even the risk of being melee only and getting zoned
