http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/220/6/4/depressed_galio_by_uunimod-d45uxk8.png rito pls… i feel like he's the most unplayed/forggoten champion… i see a lot more tarics/urgots/poppys :c. If a red sees this,do you have any plans for him currently? or is he still in line for a update?
Remlap122310 votesGalio doesn't need a rework TBH, he just needs a real passive and to have all of his abilities scale off of MR, adjusted so the values are similar. That way Galibro gets a nice shiny new passive and still gets to keep his identity as the anti-caster.
As for VU, I agree, Galio is very dated, plus now that they're Relaunching Poopy, he needs a new lore as well. Why not give him a shiny coat of paint while you're at it?
HalloweenDeath1 votesHe is super strong imo but the meta doesn't favor him because 70% of the enemys damage comes from ad. Also taric is a fine support hes fine in the meta as well.
Rew7113 votesI like his passive... tbh
Remlap12234 votesBut Ryze gets to scale off of what makes him unique (mana mage) while still getting a real passive (1 second cooldown on other abilties when you use one). Why can't Galio get a real passive on top of just a flat MR AP scale. If they can do it to Ryze, why not Galio?
doubleguac2 votesIt's thematic and kind of fun. But I think there are better ways to maintain his identity as a magic tank.
It doesn't actually make him any better at tanking magic damage, it just rewards him with damage for building MR. At the same time, it's kind of a trap, because a tank like Galio doesn't really need that much MR to be able to survive a lot of magic punishment. Building more than two big MR items is a waste of gold, but his passive doesn't ultimately feel that impactful unless you stack a totally unnecessary amount of MR.
It's also kind of strange given his ult. It feels like a waste of his kit to build early armor. But, at the same time, he has relatively low base health, and his ult is an AoE taunt.
Basically, his passive is fun, and strong in very specific situations. But in most games, it's hard to make a lot of use of it. In most games, his passive basically just gives him 70ish free AP in the late game. It sounds like a lot, but his abilities have poor ratios.
Honestly, his passive could be totally removed, and his base damages and AP ratios could be tweaked, and he wouldn't really play all the differently. He would be slightly better at fighting AD champs... and that's about it.
EDIT: In my opinion, he should gain a modest MR ratio on his Q, and his passive should be changed to return a percentage of his mana when he takes magic damage. It would maintain his niche as a magic tank, while solving the main issue that I think prevents keeps Galio from seeing play--his crippling mana costs that make him incredibly weak in lane early on, even against champions he should be strong against.
UnknownMartian5 votesKalista will bring Galio back. The reason being is that he will no longer need to wait for flash every 5 minutes just to get his ult off. Now he has mobility to get him into a fight. Think like a combination of Malphite ult and then an AOE Rammus taunt.

Good news everyone! Galio only needs another champion to do what every other support tank in the game can do.
Or you can just pick Amumu and not be stopped by anyone with on hit/long range CC.
ThatAutofillSupp2 votesyeah… he should at least be reliable in his own way….. in the current meta galio just isn't that viable :( last month in every region combined only had about 9000 games with galio, whilst popular champions like zed or lucian have about 30X that easily
Remlap12231 votesAnd Soraka will kick his sorry butt back down to where he is now. The Morgana support meta just crushed Galio's viability as a support anti-caster, and even if Morgana gets Olafed in a way that makes even Olaf go "BRUH!", you still have Soraka, who's point and click AOE silence will make his ultimate completely useless.
Arby0992 votesi really hope they fix the coloring on his hands, always looked like he has yellow gloves on for me
BetterDravenBot1 votesYou're only seeing urgot because he was free.
Taric because he's truly, truly, truly outrageous.
Poppy because she was played and won a game in the LCS.
Judge Arcadia1 votesWell earlier this week (or was it last Week..) Zekent is back to playing LoL as Dawngate is closing, and he was in Gold 3 playing nothing but Poppy and AP Janna.
Needless to say, he has secured Poppy's place as being left where she is. Beaten and forgotten about.
pro crastinat0r1 votesmake his ulti more reliable and nerf his early damage and he would be pretty damn good
ThatAutofillSupp1 votesbump .e.
ButterBladesX1 votestbh i love galio the way he is, but he could use a vu maybe tweak up his passive. i mainly use him to play mid but ha can be viable in jungle and supp tho supp not so much cause of mana problems and other supp are just better. You basically gotta have ur team pick champs that do real well with him. for an example today i played with a malphite top me mid (galio) hecarim jung nunu supp and an adc. the team fights were just amazing. see a lot of peeps playin ad champs around and thats why people dont really play galio. people like burst damg and such. In the end i think galio is awsome and tbh i like that peeps dont use him much makes peeps unaware on how good he really is...
ThatAutofillSupp1 votesthats why i said rework OR VU but i think he should have a gap closer of sorts instead of his e…. and maybe a better passive since most of the time the opposing team is AD
