Riot, can you honestly tell me

That this ult:

[(https://youtu.be/ebQ1hM_trU0)]

**IS ANY BETTER ** Than this?

[(https://youtu.be/pbxaorpGjrw)]

Please tell me, because honestly, is old ult was AND IS more satisfying to use and play with.

  • Pulled people in and did mega damage
  • Could flash ult like a Annie's Tibbers combo *Virtually more pleasing to watch
  • Literally was one the best unique spells in the game

While this "new" ult:

  • You can only ult allies
  • Knocks people up in the center, but not that much
  • Has a delay, so your allies could die by the time you get there even with the damage reduction
  • Not as virtually pleasing to watch or use
  • Damage is weak on top of that

I have been on League since early season 4- not with this account though, and honestly, Riot, this Galio rework has me most upset over all (AP itemization next after that) of the things you have done.

Yes, he needed help. You told us you would keep his taunt and all that stuff. We Galio players thought you meant you would KEEP HIS ULT, not move it to a regular spell and give us this crappy new knock up ult. That is NOT what we wanted.

The new taunt is not as fun to use. It slows him down, and DOES NO DAMAGE. It's not virtually pleasing to watch either as much as his old ult.

Look at WarWick. I along with many others can honestly say that has been one of the best reworks you have ever done.

  • Kept his healing
  • Revamped his old Q but still feels and acts like the old one
  • KEPT HIS ULT, but put a new twist on it- he can jump a long distance
  • Kept his howl mechanic, but added new things to it

Even his character you guys didn't even stray far off from. You pleased just about everyone with this rework.

Galio? Not so much. I will forever hate you for this, Riot.

I miss my old Galio so much. item 3070 Galio item 3070

100%+ scaling damage ability that has taunt isn't healthy for the game.

AP scaling on shen taunt was removed too. Some of the dumbest aces I ever got was with AP shen.

I think it was perfectly healthy. He wasn't played that often so it wasn't like he was a balance nightmare.

Is Yasuo's windwall healthy for the game? What about Soraka?

Etc. There is a lot more that is unhealthy for the game than Old Galio was.

He was a balance nightmare, it was just so obvious that riot never let him become viable. A champion with an engage ultimate but no proper way to engage, the only time he could be viable is if he had so much baseline tankiness that he could walk forward with zero thought for what stood in his way.

Nah. He wasn't. He was fine the way he was, just wasn't popular like Yasuo/Fizz/Zed.

You have a slow start or something? Or did this really take you since his rework to write?

I've tried posting about it before on other accounts. Riot still won't respond at all.

Fuck the old ult.

Each champion needs a stretegic identity in league. Riot is reworking champions to help remove the grey area on what champions are meant to do. Old Gallo sort of didn't have a specific niche.

Also, Riot is striving to make champions that have kits that make sense for their lore. His current ult makes more sense as he is this massive gargoyle that protects people.

Sure, I do miss old galio's burtsy ult, but I also enjoy the new one as it has a meaningful niche.

I hate the new ult. It's not fun to use at all.

EDIT: Old Galio did protect people, he had a shield that raised their defenses and blocked damage. Now? All he offers is damage reduction. That's not really "protecting" people much at all.

I really liked Galio's old kit but I like his new kit too. Conflicted... ;\

Old galio ult had a lot less counterplay, especially w/ flash up instant aoe CC Into nuke, new galio ult has counterplay that all champions can do (get out of the radius) without needing summoner 1 item 3140 or GP oranges

He now has too much counterplay.

Old Galio was fine.

Alex h87211 votes

True, i think w/ a lot of bruisers they went too far to the extreme as far as the counterplay goes, urgot and galio's E's (dashes w/ attached CC) are 2 major examples.
