Galio seems to be the saddest League character now.

Galio - Universe of League of Legends

Outside the gleaming city of Demacia, the stone colossus Galio keeps vigilant watch. Built as a bulwark against enemy mages, he often stands motionless for decades until the presence of powerful magic stirs him to life. Once activated, Galio makes the most of his time, savoring the thrill of a fight and the rare honor of defending his countrymen. But his triumphs are always bittersweet, for the magic he destroys is also his source of re-animation, and each victory leaves him dormant once again

It means that this guy is constantly alive but unable to move when there's no wars that implies magic near Demacia. I feel really bad for Galio now, can you just imagine how horrible it is to see people you've met, grow older, days after days, years after years, decades after decades, making them eventually forget you and see them slowly dying while the only thing you can do is watch? He is so f*cking alone now. The only time Galio talks about it is with Poppy, which by the way is the only person he knows:

I like you, little blue person. You're the only one who doesn't change.

This makes Amumu's "sad" story kind of laughable.

Galio is a sad story because there is nothing he can do but watch people age around him. Amumu is sad because he can't do anything but make the people around him die.

Personally I find Renekton's lore to be sadder because even though he always loved his brother and was willing to sacrifice himself on multiple occasions for nasus in the end he has to suffer through milenia of darkness and lies ripping away at his psyche turning into him into a monster who wants to hurt the person he had loved so mich he was willing to sacrifice himself. In a sense one could say Renekton, Sion, Warwick and Galio are all trapped in their own bodies in one way or another.

I think Nautilus' fate worse. It's kind of the opposite: All he can do is move forward, while not experiencing anything other than the darkness of the deep sea. At least Galio has company, even if they change every few decades.

Alistar whole tribe was slaughtered while he was absent, probably carrying immense guilt. Amumu needs to step up his game tbh Azir Everyone he knew and cared about was completely anhilated millennia ago. Lucian Wife died, and the guy who killed her flaunts it. Nunu Literally a child helping an abused endangered animal escape captivity. Poppy Kinda sad, kinda not, tough call. Shen Father murdered by his former best friend. Shyvana Outcast, parents both dead or murdered. Varus Whole family+village slaughtered, being slowly consumed by evil incarnate. Veigar Tortured until driven insane. Vi Abandoned on the street and forced to survive through her own ingenuity. Yasuo Framed, forced to flee for his life, had to kill his own brother in self defense. Zilean Trapped in a pocket of time, forced to live with the guilt that he was unable to protect his homeland which is now totally anhilated, while also having the unpleasant disease of being thrown back into his own time stream at various points, although knowing the outcome is predetermined.

Stories of Renekton, Amumu, Nautilus, Nasus, Skarner and Lucian are more sad IMO.

Galio is sad too, but just because he is trapped in a body that he can't move until a powerful magic exists. Though I should remind Galio is not human. His comprehension of time is probably lesser than any human being. Days must be nothing for him. Like how Ascended gives little fuck on time. Nasus says "Eons... pass like days."

Yes I feel sad that he is stuck their motionless for long periods of time but thankfully I think they seem to pass by at a faster/muddled/ok rate for him while not fighting as here in the bio it says:

"Forced to observe in silence, Galio watched the humans pass beneath him, paying him tribute year after year, like a distant, hazy dream. Though he knew very little about them individually, he began to feel as though he knew them as a people. It puzzled him to see them disappear one by one as time rolled on, seemingly replaced by new bodies with new lives of their own...Perhaps they were sent away to be mended, as Galio was when he returned from a fight? ." -Galio bio

Clearly milennia pass by but this guy seems only puzzled that humans disapear as time roles on. Galio sees himself as close to immortal or at least life to him is almost endless as he can always be reanimated in the future by magic and he can always be fixed and thus the passage of time is simply something that happens to him.

The intervals between activity might almost have no meaning to him besides vauge amusement/interest in his people as it states later in the bio that all he lives for now is to fight to protect his people but if his people don't need him that means they are safe.

Idk just my take on him.

Well, he can be Amumus friend.

I'm pretty sure Yasuo's lore can be as sad as this (depending on how you want to interpret his lore) but it's more on the tragic and bittersweet side of it.

And to top it all, the Demacian walls itself probabaly culls the very genes of mages being born. Galio has almost no hope of walking without outer influence until. something big happens in Demacia.

Wait so he's just frozen in any position once the magic ppl leave, the citizens just have to build around him lmao and the shadow he'd give off...
