I agree that Galio definitely needed some strong work done to his abilities, and his innate, W and E would all benefit from being redone completely, but I do think there is enough to his existing character and playstyle that is worth keeping, unlike champions like Sion or Poppy. Old Galio hugs towers and doesn't interact much mostly because he has no truly functional way of entering fights to taunt, but there's value in having a tank that hangs back: if he were encouraged to hang around allies and body-block spells before going in, for example, that would allow him to retain his back line presence while making him much more interesting to play. With this rework he's gone from a champion mostly focused on strategy, utility and action from a distance to a generic dive-heavy tank, which I don't think is really what needed to happen even if his original fantasy were somehow unsalvageable. Warwick used to be a generic werewolf with basically only one useful ability, and got turned into an original and functional champion without all that many drastic alterations to his kit, so to see Galio receive far more changes and end up going from a somewhat original champion to a generic tank is disappointing.
