We all know galios old kit was a mistake and needed to be redone just like the old 
so why is everyone pretending like there was anymore than "gargoyle" and "aoe taunt" that could be salvaged. YOu guys did this with 
and there were even a few posts like this for , this is one of those times where people have nothing valid to complain about but they do it anyway.
No one gives a shit about his old kit, the problem that is blaring in everyone's face is the fact that he is now a cartoon marble sculpture rather than a giant hulking gargoyle.
His new look is pretty shit, love his new kit though.
At least he'll be used now outside of ARAM and URF.
There are people who love champions for their looks and personality and not just their abilities. And they changed those to the point where they need a full traditional skin to please old players... except they aren't doing those anymore. And do we really a cocky/upbeat protector for every goddamn faction? Zaun and Piltover have theirs already and now Demacia joins too. I wouldn't be surprised if Irelia ends up as an Ionian Supergirl instead of pretty original background we have now.
"Stop pretending" - "this is one of those times where people have nothing valid to complain about"
Yeah how bout you gtfo of here. He's like 1k mastery points from being my 2nd most played champion and they're removing like 90% of what made him Galio. I don't care if his old kit was outdated, I don't care if the new version is more viable. Considering this is a video game we play for fun, that is MORE than a good enough reason to complain.
Hey, I mained galio for a time in ranked. He was a not-very-boisterous, humble hulk that was really tanky, and his aoe taunt + gust were both memorable spells. He is no longer a gargoyle (he looks like a human, but with rock skin and wings/tail, especially his head), and he's no longer humble. His playstyle of slow-moving hulk seems to be gone with what appeared to be two forms of dash in his kit from the teaser. Now he's like rock-man superhero to the rescue. At least have some respect for the people who wanted him to be similar to what he used to be.
Its not about the kit, I mained Galio and still dont care about his kit, ITS THE VISUALS THE FUCKING VISUALS, THEY REMOVED MY CHAMPION FROM THE GAME, HIS VOICE IS GONE, HIS COLORS ARE GONE, HIS THEME IS GONE. This is the first rework that I really dont like and of course its the one for one of my fucking mains. Why couldnt it be good like Poppy or something, whyyyyyyy ffs... I am so dissapointed and hopeless 
Was Galio viable? God no! Did I still occasionally play him and get S ranks for flash ults? You bet your ass. I am personally looking forward to his remake, shit looks fun as hell but that doesn't mean I didn't also enjoy the current version of Galio when I was looking to just have some fun.
But I actually DID love old Galio. He had a unique ability that allowed me to give my teammates a major chunk of armor and resistance, something VERY important in a meta full of dipshits that build full lethality rune and item builds.
Why does Riot rework every ability into something that completely nullifies teamwork? Warwick lost his AoE AS buff, Shen lost his Q healing teammates, various supports lost interaction with minions, too. Auras? Getting removed one by one.
Just why? This game is losing so many Support abilities, it's almost like they WANT every champion in the game to be a dull solo laner that can provide offensive support but completely lack any form of defensive support. What's next, "Braum's E was too team-oriented and protected turrets for a half second before he got bursted down to shreds by lethality and magic pen assassins, so we replaced it with an on hit stun that lasts 1 second."?
I know Galio is a mage and he has all rights to have a kit that DOESN'T include Support abilities, but could Riot AT LEAST put these abilities into other characters they add or rework? It's absolute garbage that one champion after another is losing unique abilities only to have them replaced by something another character can provide already.
Taric's ultimate for example. It used to give AP and AD to teammates in an AoE radius around himself, why did they remove the whole ability for yet another generic "You're immortal for a few secs" effect? What makes playing Taric so much more different from playing Kayle at that point?
It seem what people are unhappy with is going over your head, it's not the kit that's the problem, even his model was too old, people understood it was outdated. It's that he wasn't reworked but REmade. This is not Galio. But a all new champion. Super hero meat-head statue vs. solemn noble gargoyle.
I didn't mind his current kit, even though I knew it would need to be replaced in today's League. The new one is actually pretty sweet, even if I think his taunt now kicks Shen's in the balls.
What I do mind is the character being assassinated to make way for yet another bulky human silhouette with a cocky attitude. Oh goody, we go from a gentle remorseful giant to marble Zac! Those wings and teeny horns a gargoyle does not make. Is there no place in League for monsters anymore? Is Urgot going to look like Handsome Squidward when his update comes? Is Cho'Gath going to look like a purple Machamp? I'm very disappointed in Galio's base skin.
there are a ton of people who play this game, and alot of them enjoyed galio and others u mentioned.
galio is not a gargoyle anymore. he is a colossus now. riot loves that word
Well I mained the old sion and haven't touched him since the rework and now I have 100k mastery on galio. So yes, I am going to say I love Galio because he is currently my favorite champion. His q feels really good to me because it hits fairly hard, has a nice slow, and can be dodged by anyone who is good on a mobile champion meaning it has counter play. His w is my favorite ability in the game. It gives a big slow melee champion the sustain he needs in middle lane. His e I don't much care for but it is useful later in the game with a strong speed buff. His ult is another one of my favorite abilities in the game. Winning a team fight by pressing r at the perfect time while making sure no one can cc me out of it feels good.
I am sure anyone who actually mains galio as their first pick mid feels the same way as me. This is me giving you a valid reason about why the one in 2500 people who actually play galio are upset about his rework.
i dont mind the new kit, power creep demands bigger and flashier. but jebus, does he have to look like something you would see on power rangers? some skins are niffty but i dont wanna have to buy rp to make ma galio non derp
I like everything about him except his voice, I'm pretty sure this is a reasonable thing to dislike because he honestly just sounds ridiculous.
I like the new kit I think it could fit galio the aoe taunt is even in it still but on a shorter cd cus its not tied to the ult any more, I even like the new design.... if it were on a new champion. A rework I expect things to change I expect a slightly new design (like warwick being a very good example, and Poppy, werewolf Check, Yordle with the hammer that slams you into walls, check.) but I dont expect something that is 100% unrecognizable as that character, its a "rework" taking something old, shaking the dust off of it and making it new keeping the theme intact. This isnt that.... this is deleting a champ and introducing a new one and pretending you didnt just do that by giving it the name of the old champ and calling it a rework. To some of us (me included, even though I suck with galio and have only played him a couple times) this is his fantasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygrEVnrg3Ic and what some of us were expecting from a galio rework, was for "the spell to be broken and we live again" like dust off an old idea with life breathed into its kit. The life is in the kit, but the idea has been destroyed.
I don't think its the kit people are sad about, its the story/element of galio. Right now he looks like a sad gargoyle with a tormented past, and the new one looks like something from freaking power rangers
Get used to it, everyone went full "muh main" mode when Sion and Poppy reworks happened.
