   NEW Galio

   • Classic Galio existed from 2010-2017 and was one part mage, one part AP bruiser, one part tank, one part support. He still wants to build Magic Resist to scale his offense, but almost everything about him is different from the modern-day champion.
   • Passive - Runic Skin
   • Galio gains a portion of his Magic Resist as Ability Power. Hooray for one-sentence passives!
   • Q - Resolute Smite
   • Galio fires a concussive blast from his eyes that damages and slows enemies where it lands.
   • W - Bulwark
   • Galio gives a nearby allied champion bonus Armor and Magic Resist. While buffed, whenever they take damage, Galio is healed.
   • E - Righteous Gust
   • Galio unleashes a gust of wind that damages enemies in a line and leaves behind a directional draft, which gives all allies movement speed as long as they're moving with the current.
   • Hwei stole this ability. What a jerk.
   • R - Idol of Durand
   • Galio channels to taunt all nearby enemies, taking reduced damage in the process. After channeling, Galio damages all enemies caught in the area, increasing based on how many times he was hit while channeling.
