oh dear my poor galio will no longer be great...

so before i get started i would like to state that as galio being one of my top 3 played characters (most nearly my only 3 played characters) I would like to say that I was actually pretty good top and mid lane being galio with the exception of fighting a supurior ranged champion.

before the update (whenever that was, havent played in a bit) I actually liked galio the way he was before all of this rework and redesign ever took place. I'd use his Q to massively or decently damage my opponents, W for retreating, E for chasing or assisting my allies in the chase, and my most favorite Q for team fights which i would always try to hold 3-5 champions at a time in a team fight.

now his new abilities (IMO) are lacking in the power and strength that he used to have... his new appearance is just so not right and Idek if you changed his lore yet, but he is supposed to be a guardian, who also knew or at least had some lore connected with kayle (which is why I like and chose him). his new Q is just lacking in the raw power and effect it used to have. what? Eye blasting concussion bombs weren't good enough for you? not modern enough to satisfy your needs? well, it WAS a great starting ability, but now his damage per Q is much lower than what it use to be. (ever one shot half or 3/4 of someone's health? i have)

his W is really just his old ultimate nerfed down to be another form of taunt. i suppose thats useful but really his old W was pretty nifty in most situations i have experienced.

Ok so ive got to admit that his new E isnt that bad. its a good CC ability and arguably id probably want that instead of his old E but on the other hand his old CC was great for chasing down champions or dealing that last bit of damage to kill off that last bit of Hp and i think it had a bit more range IIRC.

finally his new R... although its not too bad, it doesnt seem to ME like it has the potential like it used to have, (but i guess thats just my opinion though) although it does give more of a support role or even a charge role if your behind and catching up while your team pushes. before the update his ult for me was the best team fight ability when done right, starting off a team fight by positioning yourself in a better-suited location, or even just picking off people trying to run. his new ultimate IMO just doesn't serve as much self-purpose for aggressive top and mid laning and solo 1v1 lanes, but instead relying on another champion to actually be in the right position or risking losing a champion just so they can get galio to use his ult is a bit lackluster for what i had in mind for his ULT...

I don't know about the rest of you galio people who played him before the update, but im not entirely liking his new look or abilities too much. just buffing his old self would've been sufficient
