See I agree that the flash W was a needed change in the game since he was just being abused bot lane as a support. But in my mind riot doesn’t want Galio on pro stage bcs he isn’t flashy enough. Kasante is a tank that can one shot people basically but do it in a way that looks flashy but in all honesty isn’t super hard to pull off so he is pick or ban in every pro game. Riot really doesn’t care if a champs kit is crazy, it’s if it looks fancy and cool.
In my opinion his kit isn’t that crazy anymore since they gutted flash W. I mean they keep making champs that can do what he does faster and more efficiently a lot. Briar can basically do everything Galio does but better and be harder to kill, rakan hasn’t been changed almost at all but can do more than Galio while being faster and able to flash knock up and so on, and then vex has a ranged Q aoe shield fear damage W that both are better than galios Q W on a lower cooldown letting her be an anti mobility champ with burst. If riot really wanted to keep champs like Galio from taking over metas then they shouldn’t make champs that can do his thing better and more obnoxiously.
But I will agree at the time they did the changes he was a menace since most champs coming out weren’t these 200 years crazy champs with an essay on each ability.
