I think they are pretty comparable now. I am no math scientist, but just visually they look pretty darn close.
Big Lincoln31 votesboth of them need to be bigger in game, imo
Galio is roughly the size of Sion (might actually be smaller without the wings) and Malphite's not big at all
Mira Arya Enthe3 votes^
Big Lincoln11 votesalso these guys 
can double their size
Cho'Gath I would understand if he's re-lored to be a literal titan, but they should definitely be bigger than Zac
Mira Arya Enthe2 votesAt least they made Shyvana bigger
Big Lincoln18 votesneed to fix her noodle arms though

Eugenia Cooney joined league?! new champ revealed!
Golden Tager X6 votesCho'gath is the eater of worlds, he is probably so big he towers over these two easily.
His size is retarded and at least on Malph's level, if not even bigger.
Orangesilk2 votesHe's supposed to be Cthulhu sized, which is:

Pretty damn big

Thefourthchosen1 votesI think the largest champ in league lore wise would be between cho and Asol
Sraeg20131 votesA.Sol is bigger than the Solar System.
Which really pisses me when I see that shrimp in the game.
Retcons are bad, m'kay?
VelvetCrotch7 votesMalph needs a VGU anyway. (and will get one)
TheMinez6 votesBut how will he smell stuff when they remove his nose head?
PaffWasTaken2 votesRiot hesitated for over 2-3 years for making ao-Shin, because of a bigger Hitbox. You think they'll just make them bigger when they had that much problems balancing someone twice as big?
Big Lincoln2 votesyes
Asayake 5150glow3 votesRiot hesitated for over 2-3 years for making ao-Shin, because of a bigger Hitbox. You think they'll just make them bigger when they had that much problems balancing someone twice as big?
It's more that Malph's R would need to be a lot bigger if his visual hitbox was bigger, I think.
kile1472 votesAo-Shin's hit box would have also been troublesome because of the shape. Champs generally fit into a vertical cylinder of varying size, but a serpentine shaped character would have to have a different kind of hitbox that would work very unintuitively with League's current control scheme.
Sraeg20131 votesIncorrect.
They held on the concept for so long, because they couldn't figure out how to deal with serpentine body shapes, which is why half of A.Sol is a cosplay tail.

No but then Malph's R would get a much bigger hitbox.
Sraeg20131 votesWould it?
For example his ult could be changed to "on-contact" instead of being an PBAoE.
Asayake 5150glow1 votesWould it?

Isn't it already basically 'on contact' though? At least, for some angles, there are a few angles where it's bigger than his hitbox.
Sraeg20131 votesNo, I mean a physical collision, not a fixed AoE around him regardless of his size.
I.e. it would scale with his size.
Garentheon3 votesIt's not that simple. I want them to be a bit bigger also but the would be more susceptible to skillshots and other things. All this needs to be considered when talking about size
Ralanr19 votesIn splash arts, I think Malphite actually looks smaller than Galio.
Sp33d Zer05 votesI think it has a lot to do with the angles, plus malphite is leaning forward, where as galio is standing tall with a huge city WAAAY in the back ground.

Sahn Uzal3 votesOn one hand I love Galio's collosal Size, on the other hand it kinda feels too-much. Might just be me, but I think he'd look better if he reached to where his neck currently starts.
And yes, he definetly should be bigger ingame lol
Mira Arya Enthe2 votesI like it as is. Need somebody to wrestle Malphite. Or else he couldn't be Mal-fight.
Sahn Uzal2 votesFair point, Fair point.
Swaid3 votesSpoiler; what if they're not smaller on Summoner's Rift? What if everyone is just giant?
CannabisOverlord2 votesI feel like galio is bigger, the guy next to malph fist looks like the size of a bird, the guy next to galio foot looks like a beetle
Mira Arya Enthe2 votesKeep in mind the guy in Malphite's picture is closer to us.
DrCyanide3 votesI feel like galio is bigger, the guy next to malph fist looks like the size of a bird, the guy next to galio foot looks like a beetle
What bird do you know that's the size of your thumb up to the first nuckle?
That's Malphite comparison point: a ~5'6" person is ~1" on Malphite, which would make Malphite ~365' tall.
With Galio, the comparison is a ~5'6" person that stands taller than Galio's ankle, or ~2" on Galio, which would make Galio ~180' tall.
You'd have to use something other than their default splash arts to argue that Galio is taller.
Mira Arya Enthe2 votesThat is assuming the same hand size and body shape comparative to the average human. Their body shapes aren't even alike and in Mal's hunched position I find that calculation a bit incredulous.
DrCyanide3 votesMaking me break out the pixel measurements... I hate you... :P
A frontal screenshot of Malphite from LoLKing's model viewer shows that from the tip of his thumb to the first knuckle is 22 pixels. From the ground to the flat part of the top of his head he is 207 pixels tall, from ground to the top spike on his head is 245 pixels tall, and from the ground to the top spike on his back he's 338 pixels tall. This means that the thumb part in question is between 10% of Malphites height and 6.5% of Malphites height. Again applying our ~5'6" soldier for comparison, that would make Malphite between 55' and 85' tall, hunched over as he is in his idle pose. I'm tempted to measure him like a turtle in this case, going to the top of his back rather than to the top of his head, which would make the final verdict 85' tall.
To keep things as similar as possible I'll use a clip from the 0:03 mark of the Galio champion teaser, where his back is to the camera but he's standing up straight. From the ground to the ankle is 18 pixels, from the ground to the rounded part of his head is 222 pixels, and from the ground to the top of his pointy crown is 235 pixels. That means that to the ankle is 8% to 7.7% of Galio's total height. Plugging in our ~5'6" civilians, that would make Galio between 69' and 71' tall, depending on if you count the crown as an accessory or not.
So not quite as extreme, but Malphite is still bigger.

Where'd you get those numbers for Malphite?
DrCyanide2 votesThose were based off of normal human proportions. Switch to Discussion View, you'll see the more accurate pixel breakdown guess.
VelvetCrotch1 votesNow u know how reworked malph in the future will look like. ;)
VasilisGreen3 votesWill he be renamed to Jupiter? Maybe Galio will orbit him :P
Meep Man1 votesI actually am pretty sure it was said that Malphite was as large as a mountain, so Galio is likely a little smaller, but still decently comparable.
Mira Arya Enthe2 votesWhat size mountain? They vary greatly. Literal or figuratively? Thus why the art is the best thing we have to go on.
Galiö1 votesGalio is 300 tons, prob more dense than a Blue Whale so he wouldnt be double a blue whales 'height'. so he would be approx 125 feet. Malphite is as big as a mountain, but it is unclear WHAT mountain but its easy to assume Malphite is bigger.
