Riot PLS: Galio Edition

Galio first got kicked out of Top Lane over a year ago Galio then got nerfed out of being a solo laner Galio is being kicked while he is down as a support champion

It is nice that balance was attempted outside of his Q that yo-yod his winrate up and down drastically... but he is still mostly an early-mid champion

His early all in potential was curbed to lessen his strength as an early support in which players maxed out his Damage Mitigation / Mshield on his W and help with his catch damage on E..

But this overall will not help Galio as a laner with the Ratio buff and it just hurts the only role he is ok at.

I really wish Riot would allow my idea for changes to be tested, even internally, to show the potential it has.

I spent so many hours on Galio before the rework and quite a few hours after.. I have a hard time playing this game anymore due to my fun AND impactfulness in games have been sidelined as a Galio Enthusiast.

Not only does Galio not feel, play, act, or look like the previous Galio... but the current one has been a balancing issue that has been kicked over and over...

Please help.


For those who havent seen my change list previously it goes as this (it has been slightly changed to reflect recent changes):

Passive:

Magic Shield Added

Shield Strength: 4 - 12% based on level (+ 2% per 85 MR) of his Maximum Health as a Magic Shield -Shield Refreshes every 12 second after taking no damage.

Damage changed to 15% of his current shield (minimum 20) (+ 100% AD) (+ 50% AP) (+ 50% bonus magic resistance) total magic damage to its target and all enemies around it.

Q:

Total Tornado Magic Damage: 7.5% (+ 3% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health

W:

Magic shield removed. Damage reduction removed. Replaced with On Damage Heal Initial Healing: 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80 (+ 30% AP, + 15% MR) (each subsequent healing tick is 15% weaker than the last one) (75% Effectivness against Physical Damage)

Yeah I fucking loved the rework, listening to his new voice lines brings a smile to my face but he's just been kneecapped so hard ever since.

They need to make him a properAP tank/bruiser already. He's not a mage anymore. There has to be a way to tweak his damage in such a way to where it's stable and not weak or too strong.

Make it heavy base with some AP scaling, or...give him some better (and add some more) MR ratios. He's supposed to be a Anti-magic Colossus, right? So let him do it, could use a pick like that in my champ pool to deal with toplane aids like Vlad Ryze Ken and Neeko.

Well with my idea of the new magic shield on his passive.. the health scale increases with MR and has an increase MR Ratio (barely) but he has to hit you with passive before the shield depletes. Almost his shield would be lower early game and scale up with levels (other than the MR scaling)

The W on damage heal I propose would incentivize Galio to hold W longer in more situations and to build a spirit visage to maximize tankiness.

If he doesnt Build spirit visage and goes full AP his tankiness will be gated somewhat by his new passive, and it would have less base damage

He does too much damage without building any. They need to do something about that before we look for buffs.

He did OK damage early as a support champion between Base of W and E.... and aftershock.

His Q is w.e at this point... I didn't even know what to say for this post.... lol

Like he CAN do damage... but that's not the most effective way to play him anymore 90% of the time...

I tried a few games with the W buffs and its w.e tbh...

And E feels like trash but atleats its lightnjng quick for a few patches now which helped some peeps..

Well, we can at least agree on that.
