Thoughts on Galio Teaser

So with the teaser reveal of Galio getting shown today, it's got me pretty hyped. So I thought I'd make a post about my feelings towards him and see what your respones are:

• Clarity - I don't know about the rest of you but I had the hardest time trying to figure out what the hell Galio is suppose to be. Is he primarily a tank? A mage? He's melee, but casts spells like a mage, but also has his ult which leans towards tank but also his W which leans towards a support but not really since it only heals hi- you see what I'm getting at? Through the reveal and Q&A I finally get an answer: Anti-mage Warden. You can argue that he's still like this as of right now but to me I just don't see it.

• Abilities - So from the video I could make out 3 of his 4 abilities: one is similar to a Vi ult, that being a charge and a knock-up knock-down move, a similar E ability that gusts wind at an enemy (kinda reminded me of Zul'Jin's W from HotS) but from the looks of it may also lead to a knock-up as well, and an ult that works similar to Shen's but instead still targets the location and knocks back all enemies from the area. As well, Rioter Reav3 also talked about him keeping his AoE taunt, which I'm fairly pleased about since it was his most iconic part of his kit. As for his passive though I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same. I mean for an anti-mage warden it kinda makes sense but I really wouldn't miss it if it got replaced by another passive.

• Appearance/Skins - His base appearance is....meh. I will say it's FAR better than he is now, especially with him not looking like the generic gargoyle look but still having that feel, but even then I just don't find it appealing (side note: his new look reminds me of Terrorblade from Dota 2. No seriously, look up an image of terrorblade, compare it to the new Galio and tell me that they don't look similar, if not exactly the same). His skins on the other hand are drop dead gorgeous. Commando looks bad ass, debonair is fun, enchanted is amazing, hextech is stellar, but by far the best one has to be the Gatekeeper. I just dropped my jaw when I saw it, it's amazing!

• Voice - I'm kinda at an impasse with this. On the one hand, it's better and actually makes Galio sound different from Skarner ( I mean they have the same voice actor but I swear they sound exactly the same. At least the voice actor for Elise, Zyra, Shyvana and Fiora made them all sound distinct and recognizable to their character). On the other, from the very little dialogue in the teaser, it just doesn't sound fitting. He's suppose to be, at least when represented in the art teaser, a towering sentinel so I'd expect a deeper voice but here I kinda get this high school big shot jock feel, which I don't like a lot. Idk, I just get this feel like he's Demacia's version of Draven without the ego levels of Draven.

So those are just my thoughts but what are yours? What's your view so far on the gargoyle's rework?
