People are hoping for a Traditional Galio skin with the blue/yellow colors and a bit of the old Galio face. Any chance this could happen?

Let's just get a chroma for his base, that'd be pretty dope. You could get red and gold for an iron man look.

this is actually a good idea and would make a lot of the old galio players happy :)

they have said a few times they wont be doing that anymore

lightdragoon8810 votes

They also said a few times that they weren't going to do replays or sandbox mode....and now we have both.

Thighonia1 votes

I mean sure but you honestly can't compare the amount of community clamoring for replays and practice mode to the number of people who love galio's current form thats like half the reason they reworked him lol

I rarely ever post anything on the site, but I logged in just to voice my concern for the lack of a Traditional skin. One of the biggest reasons I bought Galio back in 2011 was because I thought he had the coolest classic skin in the game. While I like the new Galio a lot, I'm very partial to his original look and I appreciated Sejuani, Karma, and Trundle's traditional looks not being thrown out of the game.

So I really hope Riot at least considers adding it.

bump... I don't like the new funny alabaster giant; I prefere the old galio, the new abilities seams better suited for a gargoyle, the ult is more useful... durance gonna be more available and building thornmail as it was anyway useful for galio old ult would still make it useful. the Q is better then the old, is more gargoylesque. his E is strange ... ok an engage, I will miss the old speedbuff tornado, and now galio don't have shield for others except from ult; so he's gonna be more of a standard tank support. he loose alot of utilities... no more shield, no more group speed buff (anyway a tornado that leave a speed buff trail I always wondered why it wasn't jaina with that) but now get 2 engages,... E and ult, so he loose utilities and get more as an engager/tank. His E don't have miss some oumpf is it was more windy and leaving a speed buff trail that would be nice.

What's a lion with a guardian angel? It's GA-Leo. (Sorry for bad English)

He looks pretty cool, but I miss his old colors. Definitely support a Traditional Galio skin.

What made you stray from the gargoyle look to the whole colossus theme as you call it?

CYÆGHA6 votes

Okay so if the new Galio's passive is a magic shield for him everytime he uses a damaging ability......how does the shield scale though? Scales with AP, HP, or both? Also will the interaction between Galio's MR and bonus AP be kept as part of his kit?

ChickenLumpia1 votes

his passive is not a magic shield.

What would you say is new gallio's weakness? Is there counterplay or are we S.O.L?

Is he bigger than Malphite now?

When I first started playing League I was dealing with my depression and overall a feeling of loss of purpose. The old Galio's lore was something I could very much relate to and while I'm super looking forward to this new champ, I feel as though the game is losing a character that was very helpful to me and possibly to others. Any chance we could get a new champion who sort of fills that role in the future?

I really liked Galio's old lore, and I'm looking forward to see what the new lore is. But from the few voice lines we have, ("I'm here. You're welcome." "Pick on somebody my size.") He seems to be a cocky protector, more like Jayce or Zac. I really hope they don't kill his personality as much as it looks like are.

Weird, isn't the look at his abilities supposed to come first? Usually we get a special webpage to preview a champ's new abilities, THEN the PBE footage happens.

So far it seems like no one outside of PBE has any idea what his abilities are. Unless there's something I missed?

Leon Etoile2 votes

From what I've seen Q is improved, W is an aoe taunt, E is a dash attack and ult is ranged aoe engage

Will my sick Galio skills get me a girlfriend?

I believe that you can do it :) Chicks dig ELO though, so try to get to Platinum or Diamond with your awesome Galio mechanics! Then you'll really have a good chance!

1.) How hard was it to animate Galio?

2.) How has Galio's design changed over the course of his rework?

3.) How did his kit evolve into what we see now?

4.) Any funny bugs pop up during testing? (like that funny Illaoi one)

5.) I know in the past that y'all have said no more traditional skins... But could you do a chroma pack for his base skins with a blue and gold colored one? ;D

DanBio3 votes

Can he be a viable support? Will we get a color pallet with the blue and gold? Is he gonna have interactions with Urgor and Sion?

JurBurr3 votes

Are we sure this is a Galio update and not an Aatrox update cause he looks and dose stuff more like an Aatrox. Galio or Aatrox

Urgod2BKiddingM31 votes

Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox im gonna die before i get an aatrox update.

He looks awesome!! Great work, update team! Does he still have AP or direct ability scalings off of MR?

I use to play Galio so much so I'm pumped for this!!!

What was the main inspiration for his new visuals?

Tony Tomato2 votes

How are his wings modeled? They appear to be in pieces. Are they a separate from the main body?

Malphite +Kassadin =Galio

More like Malphite +Kassadin +Rammus +Diana + the ult combo from AurelionSol andXerath .

Shen +Malphite +Alistar = Galio

Galio Rip [zombie-nunu-bummed]

ManVarg1 votes

What role is he being recommended as?

HexaDecimel2 votes

As per Reav3's comments on the boards he is primarily top and mid.

NipplesOnPoint1 votes

Galio I second lightdragoon88's comment- It would be a nod to old galio mains if we had a Traditional skin, like with the Trundle rework. Demo looks GREAT! Can't wait to GATES with GATEKEEPER!

HexaDecimel2 votes

Pretty sure Riot already came out and said they wouldn't be doing traditional skins anymore. And they haven't for a couple years now.

Urgod2BKiddingM31 votes

that is just to stop ppl from raging on their boards when ww didnt get one. with galio a traditional type chroma would be reasonable because its just a recolor and it would use the same model.

Athenaeum Monkey1 votes

Cool, but why do the monster guys get more awesome and outrageous designs than the monster gals? Let's hope Evelynn will not look exactly the same as she is now.

just let me fill1 votes

or RekSai

Athenaeum Monkey1 votes

Agreed, she and Anivia are the only ones that truly fit in with the male monsters. The rest, for the most part, look like women in costumes and pallet swapped skin colors. A few match their myths (Ahri Cassiopeia Kalista), but most are just supermodels amongst the monster guys.

BeyondAstro17711 votes

i wonder how long his ult range is.

Hidden Arzenal1 votes

I think with his immediate cc and with his ult, He could be a support. Was he reworked in preparation of the tank update? Or to work well with the new bond of stone?

Schwifter1 votes

Based on what they showed in the little teaser I think he just looks like a better Aatrox which is fine since Aatrox needed a rework but this is a strange way to do it.

ImNewNeedGroup1 votes

So this is just a Aatrox rework......

Will Galio have a reliable and cost efficient poke to help farm or zone when against ranged laners?
