PBE; LOL Galio is garbage now

Hitting the already more and more failing champ while he is down. His damage is hit hard, triple Doran been dead, ok scaling for a build not much play.

Already much lower play and success in pro play.

And they are gutting him.

They reworked a perfectly functional champ into something completely different... and then GUT the rework after already being on a path to failure.

Nice work.

I knew this was going to happen. Delete a champion so mains can't play him anymore and then nerf him so hard that his play rate is right back where it started.

It's funny how they buffed old galios strongest items (Spirit and Thornmail) after he is reworked.

Old Galio was also all star 3 years in a row.

This is seriously stupid and perma tilting

Yeah, he can't be blind picked anymore.

He's still very good to follow up when your team has an initiator though, which is what he's for. He's also good to react and deny the opposing team's dives.

He can't be blind picked now. In fact he can't be picked much at all now. His Winrate in pro went from 60% to 34%. In two weeks. And his presence (pick/ban) went from 80% to 36%

And he is getting hit again.

He's getting hit again "maybe" since the next patch is for World qualifiers.

If it wasn't for that he wouldn't get touched.

He's supposed to be an anti magic character.

Being good against everyone and extremely good against heavy AP comps was not balanced at all... (obviously)

Right now he loses every match against AD in pro and performs mediocre against AP in pro. Hence the drop off. Being an anti magic tank is a gimmick sure but being only good if you're against 3 AP sucks.

Especially if his numbers will make him reliant on a team AND be forced to mid more taking away damage from the team and forcing top or jungle to play more damage to compensate for Galios gutted damage.

Especially since now the jungle meta is more of a tank meta that leaves all your damage to top and adc.

This is an awful space for Galio.

Galio beats AP, but loses to AD.... as it should be.

Being an anti magic tank is a gimmick sure but being only good if you're against 3 AP sucks.

Rammus Malphite ?

Rammus doesn't need to be against a 3 AD comp to be good. Malphite does not either... malphite is similar to what old galio was however where he has short windows to be useless... and not as successful at it.

LOL?

Lol what?

Rammus isnt useful because he does damage with reflect you realize. It helps, and its useful. Sure. But his main part is that he's durable. He zooms into the fight and just says fuck you to whoever he decides, letting his team follow up. And his ult allows for team fight control (it slows now right?). Rammus can still stack MR.
