"Actually the passive is [...] what makes his laning phase decent."

That's what I thought and what I think it was meant to be.

Unfortunately it's too unreliable - which is why I call it an "occasional smash" - to make his laning phase more decent than what it used to be.

It just gives Galio something to fall back to if he runs out of mana, which used to be a problem of old Galio's laning phase and still is a problem for the reworked version, since his main poke tool, Q, now costs even more mana than his old Q.
