Can we have the old Galio back please?

Old galio's Q was strong, His W was _VERY strong, His E was garbage, and his ult was iffy at times, but decent overall. Old Galio's passive actually made him an anti-mage,. 50% of MR is converted into AP.

New Galio's Q is weaker and less effective (easier to dodge, less penalizing when hit and it doesn't slow anymore), His W is strong but not too hard to work around, his E is pretty strong, whereas his ult can be a serious crap shoot. New Galio's passive is just a farming disruption as it delays his autos, and does minimal damage and sucks.

If we took Galio's old smite (Q) and Shield (W) Which was incredibly powerful, as you could give 80 armor & magic resist to anyone while healing yourself quite substantially on top. (item 3109 Anyone?) The only thing objectively wrong with his kit was his E, it really lacked the ability to help him effectively use his ult. With the introduction of both new Galio's E, and item 3152 he could be incredibly strong.

My Proposition; Meld the two. (We can use the new model of course.) KEEP THE OLD PASSIVE. Keep old Galio's Q preferrably, due to the strong slow and higher immediate damage and solid scaling. Bring back his old W, for incredible tanking, and if need be make it only cast-able on himself, as I know it's strong. Then keep his new E as the engage is very strong and synergizes very well with his kit otherwise. And finally bring back his old ult, with some improvements! Galio ultimate: Idol of Durand, Galio becomes unstoppable while channeling in place for up to 2.5 seconds, taunting all targets in a 700 range area. During the channel Galio receives 50/65/80% Damage reduction, and increases the damage dealt by the ultimate by 10% per times hit up to 80%. At the end of the duration, galio explodes doing 200 / 300 / 400 (+ 60% AP) Magic Damage BONUS MAGIC DAMAGE PER HIT: 20 / 30 / 40 (+ 6% AP). (Idol of Durand's channel cannot be canceled by issuing Galio movement commands during the first 0.25 seconds)

Galio was my main, and ever since Riot really punched him into the ground he's no longer lived up to "the anti-mage" any longer. He's just another generic CC slave.

Pre-rework, no. Pre-nerfs / stupid changes, yes. He needs his ap ratios lowered and his tankiness back.

In my opinion as a 3 season main, he made a lot more sense as an anti-mage. Durable against burst and to some extent, sustained damage. With the ability to kill mages right back. This whole... tanky... juggernaut thing.... it's boring and there are already too many of them...
