Could you reconsider nerfing the ap ratio on the Q by half? his wave clear is horrible early game as it is. I have picked him up and doing ok with him but will not play this character if this is really what is going to happen. It seems when a champ is finally doing well or better than average, you all go overboard in the nerfing to make them pretty much useless.

Winds of War (Q): Gust damage decreased to 70/105/140/175/210 from 70/110/150/190/230. Tornado AP ratio decreased to 0.66% per 100 AP from 1.33% per 100 AP. Mana cost increased to 80/90/100/110/120 from 70/75/80/85/90.

If this is correct, you are nerfing damage, increasing mana cost, and decreased the ap ratio by a ton.

Besides the smash, his normal auto attacks are horrible damage wise. How about lowering the ratio, if you must, from 1.33 to 1% ? That is still a huge decrease mixed in with the other changes.

Why he is doing as much damage as he is is because of the max hp % it is doing now. Galio will never be balanced because Riot doesn't know what balanced is in the definition. Remember a few patches ago? They nerfed his R and now only does CC, damage, and knock-ups. That is if nobody runs from it when they see it lmao. And then before the R nerf, a few patches before that, they buffed his Q damage because they overnerfed his Q a few patches before that. There's still a bad Galio if you can't play Galio. I don't understand why Riot doesn't understand what makes that champ unbalanced. Insert the Tyler1 clip of the Irelia movement speed nerf. It's literally the same thing. Riot's balance team needs reworked honestly.

you joking? they already nearly ruined his ap ability with the stupid rework and now you don't want to have anybody being able to do ap galio at all?

No. Galio was broken because he had great defensive abilities, good clear, good roam, insane damage. He was good into melee matchups, he was good into mages, he was good into everything. His main role is to set up teamfights and cc, not blasting everyone alive while doing so

it's getting so hard finding decently fun champions to play.

Every time i find one, they either reworks them, like my old swain main that got completely ruined with the rework, and now galio, who was imo the most fun and balanced mid-laner, gets nerfed to the ground

it was great finaly having a champion that could counter champions like zed.

it's not like he countered every midlaner, champions like vel'koz could easily dominate a galio.

sure, galio have a lot of aoe burst, but outside of his cooldowns he's vulnerable. he have no great escape tool, he have low movement speed, and low auto attack damage and speed outside of his passive.
