I'm wondering, is the galio we've seen final aesthetic wise? I feel his base looks a bit ugly/not really gargoyley and more a sheet of marble In the Demacian lore the Anti-magic stone they use is a white marble. He is made out of it! You can see a lot of it used in the Demacian architecture on the universe website."

Galio would have been completely viable with a few minor changes, and maybe a one-skill change overall. Like they did with MF last time they worked her over.

It looks like they completely cut his ult, and that was the best part of his kit. We didn't cut the ability, it's just not his ult anymore. We didn't show all of his abilities in that clip"

Reav3

"Quote:

My one concern is that it doesn't seem his ult will return. That was an incredibly unique ult and I hope they bring it back on a champ.

We only showed 3 of his abilities in that.....

Let's just say he still has a AOE Taunt....It's not his ult though :)"

sooooo.... you can aoe taunt every time you W? Yes, it works differently then the live Ult though. You will have to wait until tomorrow to see the rest of the kit details :)"

"Quote:

Will the idea behind him still be anti-mage tank or he will be a bruiser now? He is a Anti-Mage Warden. Though he does like to buy some amount of AP usually."

"Quote:

So, it looks like he is more of a tanky guy with cc instead of a mage now, right? He's a Warden/Battle Mage. A bit of a hybrid leaning more heavily towards Warden"

"Quote:

Support? or Top? or Jungle? Top/Mid most likely"

"Quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of his abilities just looks like a more powerful Pantheon ult where enemies in the landing zone are also CC'd. It's different then Pantheon. He can only target Allies, like Shen. But the landing zone doesn't move with the ally moves after cast. The landing zone is created on the ally in cast and doesn't move"

"Fixed, but the range is very far"

"Yes. With a shield like Shen ult, and a knockup"

"Quote:

I was really hoping he would be able to sit on top of towers like a gargoyle and snipe people. We actually tried many iterations of this in early development. Turns out its actually not very fun to sit in one place. The enemy usually just walked away and then you would just hop down.

It was one of those things that sounds WAY better on paper."

That last skin looks amazing! It's Gatekeepr Galio, a Legendary skin. It has it's own unique VO as well!"

"I think the title of that Facebook video sort of misrepresented him a bit. He's not gonna feel cocky in game. More joyful."
