Dear Riot: Galio

Galio is one of my favorite champs. Why? Because I like the idea of playing the protector, the guardian, the every vigilant guard. But Galio does not currently feel like an ever vigilant guard. He feels like a mage who punishes you for getting close, and heals away anything but high dedicated DPS. Galio is magical, but not a mage. He is a guardian.

Q: Gailo's Q feels like a stern warning, and painful reminder. His Q when disengaging or poking is a high damage, high cool down slow that keeps foes out, or can be used to trap people in, for allies.

W: This is the coolest idea. A shield that makes you not only your allies harder to kill, but heals you. Except... I can cast it on myself and make myself do extra damage, heal, and become tankier. And it last for a long time! OP as hell.

E: Minor damage, gives a speed boost, seems like it should be more useful. Yet it really lacks power.

R: It protects allies, makes you the target, and blends really well with his kit. This makes Galio , feel like a protector. A guardian.

I feel like Galio should always feel like a guardian. Braum does. Leona does. Poppy does. (or poppy feels like an assassin, depending on build)

Galio's kit should punish his foes for ignoring him, but allow him to survive if he is attacked. Yet this should be done via skillful play not easy buttons.

Maybe Galio should gain bonus damage the lower his allies health becomes, Then killing Galio if he overextends becomes easy, but killing the allies first only enrages the guardian and making him scarier. Then good Galio players are trying to judge when to ult based off how low his team is, and when the CC will matter most.

Or give him bonus damage against targets who haven't attacked him recently. OR make Bulwark more powerful, but ally cast only.

Give him some kind of love. Galio is so fun to play, but really lacking in useability.
