Galio top now is worse than before then changes because if he goes ap he cant match bruisers or tanks in side lanes the moment they get a bit of mr they just run him down and since he doesnt build tank anymore he just dies if he doesnt get a HUGE Lead...

instead of completely gutting his % Dmg which with a full ap build your q doesnt even do as much damage as jayce e or ornn in % health dmg....

Instead you should have done another power shift and put the % scaling on his passive so that if he wants to chunk tanks he should do it from meele range so that good galio players that knows how to effectively add passive empowered autos into their combo should get rewarded.

Right now im not even joking even items utility tank j4 ornn go in a side lane with ap galio and just run him down without any fear of him killing them...

"Galio top is now worse than before the changes".

Good. The changes were meant to be a nerf.

So something that was supposed to be a nerf actually tuned him down? Great! They actually did something good for once.

That's the entire point of changing Galio he is not a top lane champion. Galio is a mid lane tanky AP mage/vanguard that is meant to be tanky towards magic damage but not super tanky overall.

Riot already stated that they ideally want him to build 1-2 AP items and then full tank after that. People were just abusing his overtuned AP ratios by going full AP Galio but full AP Galio is not viable for a number of reasons.

He used to be a unique champ that never received buffs. Now he's the most generic 'let's make this viable in pro play' champ there is, with his boring global, his boring knock-up, his boring wave clear and his boring dash.

I have to disagree though. SInce melee is almost no skill involved it becomes more just straight stack checking for Galio. I'd rather keep the % on his Q but he definitely needs more reason to build MR right now. He should have MR scaling on everything not just his damage reductions and barely on his passive.

He's being mainly used mid atm to counter AP mid laners before they can snowball.

Are you implying that winrate means anything?
