Gameplay boards: "waaaaah galio op he one shots me with 3 Dorans ring"
Riot nerfs his base damage and buffs his scaling and kills off triple doran rings to encourage players to build with stuff like RoA, abyssal mask etc
Gameplay boards: "waaaah galio still op his ult give his teammate so much tankyness"
Riot nerfs his ult damage reduction
Gameplay boards: "GG RITO SILVER BALANCE TEAM GUTTED GALIO RIP"
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Jbels2 votesIt had more to do with hitting Galio in pro play. He was becoming another Shen, and you were seeing him almost every game. Another example of how not to design a champion if you want it to actually be played on live for an appreciable amount of time
Escheton1 votesIt's funny because it's true. And also sad. Galio became the new Shen. Where his solo queue value is much lower now.
Very Hard Engage1 votesits almost like a certain galio main predicted this whole scenario right on the nose
they release a powerful version of a terrible champion and then they eventually dial him down until hes again forgotten about
(all in an effort to remove his disgustingly powerful W + R)
CrestKnight 8, riot 0. they got nothing i me, i can sift through BS a mile away. (I'm sure theres more counts but none that come to mind ATM)
veigar E, rengar passive, mao ult, galio W + R, chos silence, rammus DBC, sej ult and anivia ult.
up next on riots hit list of powerful things that need dumpstering.

Ralanr3 votesHow long are you going to keep stroking your ego? Because your, "victory" comes off as rather shallow considering you'd argue against Galio's changes even if he was considered healthy for proplay without nerfs.
Very Hard Engage1 votesguess what.
im right again...
riot can either start listening and do what i tell them to, or they can strut around like a chicken and stick their head in the ground. because thats all i see from riot at this point.. and from my point of view its laughable.
galio never needed a rework to begin with, the abilities needed touch ups not redesigns.
i had previously suggested shortening the casting animations, tweaking base mana costs and regen, and giving him a ranged auto attack to alleviate the punishment and need for high base stats to compensate for being melee. then he would have felt like a regular old mid laner. with appropriate damage nerfs.
Abibyama2 votesHe needed a rework because his kit was garbage and no one played him. Besides it was one of the most requested rework aside from yorick and urgot
This rework is at least way better
Very Hard Engage1 votesgarbage kit held a 55% win rate for ages.
newsflash, kit wasn't garbage, you just played galio wrong.
he had peak moments of activity, defined powerspikes revolving around his flash and ult combo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJGHAm8Bnc8
you cant have turn moments that turn a game upside down anymore.
and doing things other than wave clear and cover between those moments is very risky.
people didn't play him because they didn't know how to handle his sluggish auto attack + and manage W for guaranteed auto win a trade in lane.
Ralanr1 votesGuess what.
You're not important.
You as an individual player are not important and no amount of convincing yourself that you're right is going to make Riot listen to you. Especially with how you're so against changes in a game that's constantly trying to evolve
In all honesty you remind me of an old man complaining about the times and wanting to relive his glory days instead of trying to adapt.

Not every choice ends up being good, but that doesn't mean Riot isn't allowed to try because a butt hurt main disagrees with them without even understanding the full argument or just intentionally not caring about it.
I'd compare you to F30RA but you actually believe your bullshit.
TyrekGoldenspear3 votesand from my point of view its laughable.
Then you are lost!
Darkdemon6531 votesHis offensive scaling wasn't increased enough. His W should deal no base damage, but have damage scaling with AP.
Abibyama1 votesV7.7 Colossal Smash Base damage reduced to 12 - 80 (based on level) from 15 - 100 (based on level).
Winds of War AP ratio increased to 75% AP from 60% AP. Tornado target maximum health ratio reduced to 6% target's maximum health from 9% target's maximum health
V7.13 Base armor reduced to 24 from 27. Winds of War Tornardo base damage reduced to 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 from 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 / 105. Tornado AP ratio increased to 60% AP from 45% AP. Hero's Entrance Channel duration before jumping increased to 1.25 seconds from 1 second. Hover time before dashing reduced by 0.25 seconds. Total time to reach target unchanged.
Also his w deals no damage it taunts nearby enemies depending on on channel time and it scaled with MR

I'm aware of all his changes and what his W does. I said his scalings weren't increased enough, not not at all, and I said what his W should do, not what it does.
Abibyama1 votesOh sorry I derped. Yeah I agree that he needs more scaling buffs so he can sorta build AP-bruiser which he was designed in the first place
Ralanr1 votesHonestly we res should just stop encouraging the AP bruiser part because he has powerful tank abilities.
Fighting a bruiser that can taunt you and stun lock you is a pain in the ass. He should be shifted more towards being a tank.
Very Hard Engage1 voteswrong again.
he needs to be balanced around being a tank, a burst mage, a kiter, and a peeler because thats what he already was and did for a team, any less is admitting failure.
Ralanr1 votesI hope you're being sarcastic.
