I like how you give a positive experience from the point of view of someone who seems to have been prejudging Galio, but then actually gave him a try.

Let me comment on that including your former opinion and what might change with new Galio:

"He felt so slow moving around"

This won't change with the rework. He will keep the same basic MS, but instead of a speed boost like he currently has, he will even gain a debuff that slows himself whenever he channels W.

"I thought [...], but it didn't."

Speaks for itself. :D I had a similar scenario with old Karma, when someone never touched her and tried her shortly before the rework. The reaction: ''"She isn't as bad as I've been thinking. She's actually really strong." ''Unfortunately, many people have a biased opionion without even having tried a champion.

"[...] my W kept me healed up from each tick of his toxic darts and shrooms."

This is what I - and perhaps a lot of other frequent Galio players - like about him. It's what made him strong imo. Replacing it with just damage reduction feels like a slight nerf to me.

"E was...E is E, it helps me farm and scare T[...] I might rush towards him. It also helped me set up R, but it was clunky since it only works in one direction. It isn't a dash either."

I do understand your point here. I also mostly used E for the reasons you mentioned and, on top of that, because it's harder to dodge than Q. The new dashing E is probably the successor most players asked for - which is OK.

"Now that I have a better grasp of Galio, I have an idea for his rework."

I wonder what your opinion will be now.
