I played against one a while ago who could no problem solo our whole team with only 4 kills, and his ult alone almost killed us all including the tanks. his heal would heal him for more than our entire team could do in dmg. and his ap scales off of his mr. im actually buying him next or right after that.

yes hes viable.

Your team must have been full of AP and poison-damages. Galio counters that & I use him to hard-counter LeBlanc-players.

Considering i almost never see it, i would say no. He is simple outclassed by most other mids.

Play him, then give info. People don't play Mordekaiser often, but he is a scary man! You are not informed about Galio therefore don't make it seem like he is bad.

@OP He is better when played tank top now. He used to be an excellent mid, but he is now very good in top. I recommend you do some YouTube research and such to find out more.

It's called observations. When no one plays a certain champ, there are reasons for that. He may not be bad, but he doesn't stand up to the current top picks in the meta(not top lane picks, just clarifying). Galio is an extremely situational pick. If we are talking about normals, anyone is viable.

Or maybe because everybody only plays the champs that they cant play against, which are the popular ones, so Galio is OP with his W and ULT he needs to be nerfed but...no, Galio is rarely seen so nobody knows if he's good.

A nurf!!!! You need to play more Galio if you think he needs a nurf. You don't see him because he is phasing out. Unless you play against an all AP team then I wouldn't pick him anymore. And I play him a lot. I can't picture him great at top either, unless against another AP champ. He's a Melee caster with no Auto attack dmg, so mana hungry, and Ult can be canceled for tiny dmg. Ult dmg is only good with full bonus stacks. And it's hard to get peps in range of it at times. Even a flash ult.

Galio is fantastic. I pick him against Katarina ,Heimerdinger ,Teemo ,and Malzahar almost every time. It's very easy to farm with him. He's fun, I like him, go ahead and try him.

as a mid i would almost say no, though i love playing with him, but running him as a top tank can get scary. especially if your against someone who does alot of magic dmg like Shyvana

If you played doom the game mode not to long ago. Gailo was one the op doom bots. If you played with Gailo you saw he had a taunt circle that pop then did damage. I think Gailo would be a lot better. If every 3rd Q he hits on a CHAMPION or jungle camps the next Q will do the taunt thing. This upgrade will make Gailo a better support or and Jungler.

Thank you for taking your time to read this

peace give me feedback

pass the word on

I love gailo but when I played him I fed or died a lot early game then late game I got tanky so I could walk in the middle of the other then ult to help the team in the team fight. So no he not viable

I love Galio but he has to be picked at just the right time. If you can get a kill as soon as you hit lvl 6 then you can stay ahead and bully your lane if they are an ap caster. An AD mid like zed will own you. Then end game like EJIke said you get tanky and ult as many as you can and you can crush there team. I would love to see a Galio rework that gives him some range autos and helps his giant hunger for mana early. Maybe like threshes auto or the new thing the did with poppy and her shield. I'd love to see poppy be more viable to play. He is so fun and really puts down a hurting in team fights if you can get there.

Rework note. If you could do something with his E so you don't have to flash ult to get it off in a team fight. Like if his E hits a enemy champ you can click again to dash to champ or that spot. The once a 5 min flash ult is a pain. And unless then other team has no clue about the ult you can't just walk into a team and get more then one enemy a lot of times.

Yes. His W is broken and his ult could win games, although easily disrupted,and can easily counter any of the typical mid choices including the ad mids.
