I hope not. Galio is in a pretty okay spot right now. Obviously he isn't an excellent pick against AD-heavy teams (though he's still strong enough to be reasonably viable), but frankly his passive is what makes him such a hilarious and ridiculous counter to squishy AP casters. All you need to do is stack MR and throw a deathcap on and you'll actually get 65% of your MR back in AP. Galio is one of those rare breeds who right now can have a realistic full build that makes him ridiculously tanky and at the same time have 700+ AP without potions, runes, etc.

What will decide it for me, though, is what exactly his new passive will be. I doubt I'll like it too much, as it will likely make his strength less of MR-stacking and more general-purpose... which is a shame, because Galio as a counterpick his hilarious to play. Bathe in Anivia/Swain Rs, Cassiopeia Ws, Malzahar space aids and rejoice, for lord helix hath given thee thy health back. Play minesweeper against Teemo and get rewarded for faceplanting into a mine.

I wish Galio got scaling MR. He is melee after all, and Rammus gets scaling armor... but perhaps the 90 MR buff he gets for free is enough ;).
