Galio Things

Just a few things that could help Galio feel more rewarding to play

Heal on shield directed to the shielded, instead of always Galio.
Shield work with Ardent Censor
E have a knock aside effect
While using Idol, lifesteal effects against Galio are negated (hydra lifesteal would still work against minions or other champions)
Passive include building ap increases mr (on top of mr increasing ap)

Not saying all of these things need to happen, but right now Galio kind of struggles with a few things. Having Idol be irreducible by tenacity was a step in the right direction, but I dunno. I feel like he could still use a few tweaks to make him a bit more interesting to play outside of flash ulting.

I've wanted the cast time on his E removed or the ability to be castable while moving. It would be a small change that might make his ult initiation not require flash or mark/dash most of the time.

I've stopped taking flash on Galio. I usually just run ghost/exhaust or ghost/smite if jungling.

They could do a bunch of interesting things with Righteous Gust. Removing the cast time is just one of them. I just feel like compared to amumu or rammus, his "moments" don't feel as satisfying. Like bandage tossing into a team and ulting 3-5 people, or running straight in the team with a powerball and taunting the adc or w/e. Removing the cast time would definitely help Galio (would help him hit a lot more skillshots too), but as far as meaningful moments outside of using an ult well, I don't think it quite exists.

Like... I like Galio. I really do. For one of those really old champions that hardly gets any use, I think he deserves some meaningful attention.

Galio is actually a pretty solid champion right now. I do like one of your ideas though. If he shielded someone else, the heal should be split between them. That would help him be a good support bottom lane as well.
