Galio's ult isn't really used for damage. A token reduction in damage output from getting hit a few less times is not a big deal.

<.<

i'll explain better, then?
every time you taunt someone, Frozen Heart and Randuin's Omen hinder the effects that benefit other's AA, such as Feint and Defensive Ball Curl. Probably the reason taunt is not a preferred for or CC.

clear enough?

edit: fine, i remember Ki Strike and Feint being the other way round, but my point is made.

Galio's main problem is that his kit just honestly sucks

He can either for mid with ap where he'll do relatively low damage and meh utiltiy as compared to other champs or go for a more tanky build where he'll just do absolutely nothing


btw full tanky galios suck so much lol

For me the biggest problem is, that as soon as you play in ranked games, his ult will always always always be interrupted (because people aren't stupid) and is therefore worthless. I know - "don't use it right away, wait until the interrupts are blown" - , there's always one left. I say, make it not interruptable, amumu's ult is not channelling either and he doesn't even need a flash (!!!) to be able to land it in a good position -> bandage toss. I think it wouldn't make the ult op but it would finally be worth a bit more than just to taunt 2 people in lane

i disagree on Bulwark being useless since it's 90 armor and Mres, potentially for an adc. i know, i know, armor pen and stuff but with adc's taking Warmog's Armor or Randuin's Omen, it's not bad, imo.


Mogs and Omen on AD carries is already over, I only see full damage carries these days (since you get one-shotted late-game no matter what) so that part of the argument is invalid. Sure 90 mres/armour is something but a damage-absorbing shield is much stronger so you might as well play an ap carry who has that.

And honestly, with bulwark in mind, support Galio is probably the best Galio atm.

I think Galio does need a bit of a touch up thematically in his kit. His ultimate screams what he is. He's a gargoyle and a defender; mega taunt stone statue ult? Ok. Galio. However, no where is lore does it actually say he uses magic, or really anything about what he actually does. It just feels weird to be a melee range Gargoyle character that casts long ranged spells. Has passive, as stated doesn't make much sense either.

I feel he could do well with reworks to his Q, Passive and E. Things that would bring him more thematically in line.

I think galio's ultimate should function as a Maokai ult. Reduced damage for your allies but galio takes the damage instead. The ultimate as it is right now is really tough to balance. Increase the AoE: too OP, increase the damage: still kinda UP.

His ultimate would be fine if so much as poking him with something that wasn't an auto attack didnt stop it. It's an amazing ult - when it works.

But again, it's designed to be a tank move, and the way Galio's kit is, he builds like a mage, and often, glass cannon mage. Weird.
