Make Galio Ranged

CoolSpot2·Oct 11, 2014·2 votes·685 views

Once again I see people discuss my man Galio so I am reposting this .

Galio sucks because he struggles too much in early game from auto attack harass . Besides farming with melee auto and not having escape makes you easy picking for junglers .

Oriana,Lux or even someone with High DPS like Syndra or Ahri can outplay him in 1 vs 1 situation .

The only champions he really counters are someone with long cooldowns AP skills . Like Morgana,Veigar,Brand . Still they can harass him for good 9 levels .

All he needs is ranged Auto . Make him thraw his skin or something . Yes we would need a nerf counterpart .

But really . It is all he needs . You can take your MR per level back .

As a man who plays galio he is amazing early game his tornado and his q do plenty of poke to not need him being ranged. Galio is like singed he can farm and poke at the same time with his tornado but not to the same degree of course but still good. As long as the enemy isn't an ad assassin your laneing phase is almost a garenteed lane win. Even if he isn't good early game his ult is soo amazing it makes up for every single fucking weakness he has. Galio doesn't need a nerf or a buff. He is perfect. Just get 2 of those mana regen things I forgot the name of it. Then upgrade it all to holy grail in first recall. You can poke more then teemo after that. also, HE IS AN AMAZING COUNTER TO TEEMO. Isn't that enough? Also, what are you saying he only counters long cooldown ap users. He counters ANY ap user(besides janna). Also you can save your money on boots early game because your tornado make up for the lack of speed making him even better in lane. PS, if you play against anyone with a dmg over time you can wait untill he uses it then after he does the main dmg you can put your shield on your self and heal 3x the dmg he did. Galio is one of the strongest mid laners in the game and he has a lot of tricks down his sleve that your enemy doesn't know about because he is either the first least played or the second least played champion every day(it changes from galio to urgot daily) Like you can burst down a half hp person and heal of it with your shield. Put your shield on, ignite, ult then hit them with tornado and after you come out from the kill you will actually GAIN health because you put your shield on as you ulted making him autoattack you.

I can go Janna mid in bronze league and counter anyone . That doesn't mean Janna is a strong mid .

What? did you not read anything I said. Also, the higher elo you are the more counters are effective. If galio goes against veigar, veigar can wait for a mistake and capitalize on it and then farm and wait untill galio makes another mistake. Mistakes don't happen much higher elos. So if galio vs veigar in gold-challenger if that galio isn't a moron he will win lane automatically. Galio doesn't have many weakness and his skill shots go threw minions and don't get reduce dmg. Do you know how amazing that is? Galio will be so op if they make him ranged. He has PLENTY of harrasment. You are obviously delusional if you think galio needs more harrasment. Please go get your self tested.

Yeah... He has one of the most poke in all of league. And he can heal off the enemy harrass and he can build tanky and still do plenty or harassment.

Galio sucks because he struggles too much in early game from auto attack harass .

Galio is pretty oppressive in the lanning phase. Most Galio's I've run into just take complete dominance of the lane.

Also - Galio is one of the very few CC-heavy tanks that can actually lane, and lane very well. Most CC tanks are forced into the support or jungle position so they don't get poked to death with their weak early, and so there CC actually means something via an ally capitalizing on it.

Galio's capacity to go mid lane and win mid-lane fairly decissivly is pretty much -the- reason to pick him.

Oriana,Lux or even someone with High DPS like Syndra or Ahri can outplay him in 1 vs 1 situation .

LoL isn't a game about hard-counters. Ideally you should be able to win or loose any lane via outplays happening, favoring the more skilled player.

Fighting against Galio as a lot of those champions is pretty cancer though. He can poke for basically the same damage, but he's really durable and has amazing sustain, so you're left with pretty non-existant kill potential against him unless he makes a massive blunder.

The only champions he really counters are someone with long cooldowns AP skills . Like Morgana,Veigar,Brand . Still they can harass him for good 9 levels .

MR and HP items shut down most burst-casters pretty hard, and having respectable health sustain on top of it makes it extremely difficult for any bursty champion to actually kill you.

Spirit Visage alone will turn most melee champions into pretty solid anti-mage champions. Spirit Visage on a champion that already has some pretty impressive health sustain and scales damage with MR is added icing on the cake for Galio.

If you're having issues with any particular mages as the gargoyle, you've made mistakes.

All he needs is ranged Auto . Make him thraw his skin or something . Yes we would need a nerf counterpart .

Throw his skin is a pretty awful visual.

Also, I'd go with the opposite direction for Galio's range.

He's a CC heavy tank made of stone.

Limiting his skillset to close-range would make him more obvious at his intended purpose of being a tank and taunting things, absorbing the AoE bombardment of team-fights and shrugging off damage while he goes in for a 5-man lockdown.

Or just let him cast Gust without stopping his movement.

Because me being in bronze instantly makes you smarter then me and makes my arguement invalid. I know i'm bad at league but i'm not retarded and you seem to be. Just because i'm bad at league doesn't mean my arguement is invalid. Sense you are using that as an excuse to why you're not going to argue with me I already won the arguement. Good day moron.
