I get the feeling that this Galio would be immensely overpowering.

The passive means that if you get harassed you will almost always do more damage to them, making harassing Galio very counter-intuitive, and even if you don't harass them Galio's superior wave-clear skills and low mana costs makes it very likely that he'll have superior CS so late-game it'll be hard for you as well.

The Q feels like a good change if it's fluid.

The W as stated below would be immensely powerful, 30 MR and armor is just waaaaaay too strong. Furthermore it gives Galio too safe of a laning phase even more, if you're losing lane you can just level W instead and build MR. It means that the damage that your enemy deals is pathetically low and you can just basically deal a lot more damage back to them with your AP boost.

The E boost I personally feel has issues as I think of Galio as a utility mage but each to their own on how Galio should be played. A gameplay issue I can think of is that Galio has little decision making now, he doesn't have to worry about if he dedicates to a teamfight or not now, he can just E in and deal some damage and if it gets bad he can just run out so it might feel a little hard to actually catch him out because of the sheer movement speed boost on the E and deal damage.

The R MR buff feels really nice so kudos on that. :D

So TLDR; problems I have with this are:

Passive and W make harassing him unworth it.

W means even burst doesn't really help you kill him.

Superior wave clear with low mana costs mean he'll have superior CS with his laning partner.

E speed boost change means that he doesn't need to dedicate to teamfights at all with the sheer movement speed and can just run away. And even if some allies die he can just basically stall a siege with wave clear and a W buff to help his remaining alles and himself survive.

Just my thoughts.
