After butchering a few known League of Legends champs like Twisted Fate and Seraphine in Summoner's Rift, Riot Games is now looking at other overperforming champions to put on their chopping block.
The latest champion to get butchered is none other than the stone gargoyle from Demacia, Galio, the champ who loves to make an entrance.
Recently, Galio has strayed from his primary role of being a support tank to being a menace in the mid and top lanes. So Galio is getting adjusted so that he is played as it was intended from the start instead of interfering in other lanes. These changes are going to be live in League of Legends Patch 14.6 on March 20, 2024.
All Changes to Galio on Patch 14.6
Here are all the adjustments made to Galio:
Base:
- Health growth decreased from 126 to 114.
- Movement speed increased from 335 to 340.
Passive: Colossal Smash
- Passive’s cooldown is reduced by three seconds when hitting champions with abilities.
- Passive’s cooldown won’t be affected by ability haste.
- Passive’s base damage reduced from 15-200 to 15-115.
- Passive’s ability power ratio reduced from 50 to 40 percent.
- Passive now grants 45 percent attack speed.
Q: Winds of War
- The Q ability-power ratio was reduced from 75 to 60 percent.
- Q cooldown was reduced from 12-8 to 10-8 seconds.
W: Shield of Durand
- W damage reduction’s ability power ratio was reduced from five percent per 100 ability power to four percent.
- W damage reduction’s magic resistance ratio was reduced from 12 percent per 100 magic resistance to eight percent.
- Damage reduction now scales at one percent per 100 bonus health.
- The damage ability power ratio was reduced from 30 to 20 percent.
- The cooldown was reduced from 18–14 to 18–12 seconds.
E: Justice Punch
- The ability-power ratio was reduced from 90 to 75 percent.
- E non-champion damage increased from 50 to 85 percent.
- The cooldown was reduced from 11–7 to 9–7 seconds.
Galio's builds have shifted towards heavy glass cannons following the new item modifications. Riot tried to improve his pattern by adding additional spell casts and making it more durable, but that backfired badly. Now he will still be playable in mid-lane and will remain powerful as his primary role is to be a support DPS tank, but Galio will be less powerful than he was previously, for sure.
