So I played this beast in a ranked game earlier today and did very well. I'm just making this thread to say that I think the buffs have helped him and he is now viable again. Tier 3 IMO. If people actually played him maybe they would learn :)

Thoughts?

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

His Q&E combo is very strong at both harass and farming waves at a time late. The ult is great if uninterrupted. I like playing him during free week but don't own him so I can't give much more than that.

I think that Galio is a lot like Cho'Gath - he needs that farm and he's a great farmer, and now with the roaming meta, he can afford to solo lane bot and not steal farm from a carry, making him slightly more viable. Still, his ultimate is slightly outclassed by Amumu's - and Amumu can actually jungle and gank extremely well compared to Galio. His reliance on magic resist also makes him highly situational. If you need a bot lane tank farmer, I'd still go with Cho'Gath or Singed, and if you need strong AoE ultimates, I'd go with Amumu.

^Agreed.

But Galio is still fun to go around with, and is more supporty than Amumu because of his shield + haste.

For that reason I see Galio as a little less effective tank than Amumu, but with a dash of support :x

so if you are looking for a straight up tank, go Amumu/Rammus/Shen.

Support, Soraka/Janna/Sona.

But both, Galio! :D

He is one of those heroes i really love. Tanky with aoe dmg...

Same as Gragas and cho'gath.

I still think Cho'gath > Galio. But galio is really fun to play :)

I had never played him before this past week because he didn't seem like that fun of a champ. I decided to give him a try anyway and boy did I learn how wrong I was!

I've been trying to find a tank or a support that I can enjoy playing and I feel like Galio fits the bill perfectly.

Now if only Riot could come down on that price a little bit...

He's like, the opposite of Rammus. Put them in a lane together and have them tank shots for each other.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.
