Let's talk Galio!!

So, let's talk about everyone's favourite gargolyte, Galio Galio. Right now (aside from his model) his kit is very outdated. His Q is very slow even though it's his primary skill. Because of mobility creep (especially since now everyone has more movement speed without boots) his Q is very easy to dodge. Not to mention it has a very low range. His E is faster, but the damage isn't that good and the movement speed it provides isn't all that powerful with so many gap closers on the rest of the team. His W and ult are great spells, even though W is hard to get the most of it.

The thing is, Galio is a very outdated champion, with a lot of mechanical problems. He clearly needs a rework (or at least a great deal quality of life buffs). Galio, a guardian gargolyte is very interesting thematically, but he is so outdated that the concept is wasted on him.

My biggest concern is that we hear so much about Taric Taric and Poppy Poppy but nothing on him. We actually hear more about Warwick Warwick and Fiora Fiora reworks. Is anyone even looking on him? Can we expect something to be done to him? He is one of the few supports that need some love, but he is definitely the one who spent more time untouched. (Taric clearly needs something and Lulu Lulu really got hit hard, even if it seems otherwise and Zilean Zilean is problematic. But great job on Alistar Alistar! He is great now! =] )

Is there anything planned to at least making him worth picking bot lane? (that is, without making things harder for myself).

Galio's Q is more faster than Morgana's Q, but people still retardedly get snared most of the time. Juz sayin'.

Galio's Q hits the targeted area. Morgana's Q hits the first thing it reaches on a line.

These two are very different kinds of skill. Whenever something is moving your way, your first reflex is to move away from it. But the way the lane works you have to side step it. Sometimes sidesteping is not possible or would leave you on a bad position. For Galio's Q you can always just go back instintively and you dodge it. Do that with Morgana's Q and run towards your turret and you will still get snared. If Galio's Q was a skillshot, then okay. But it's not. You need to compare Galio's Q with Soraka's or Corki's. Soraka's at least has more range, Corki's is faster. Also remember, it's not just travel time. The cast time for it is high too.

Oh yea, I forgot Galio's Q isn't skillshot but some AoE terrain located, mb.
