I don't know about you, but man do I miss old Galio
Anyone with me?
I will say that yes old Galio needed help, but this whole new identity is awful, and doesn't feel like the amazing, anti-mage, gargoyle that he was. His ult was the BEST thing about him. Team fight? Fly in, sit down and pull everyone then BAM loads of damage. It was so fun to play.
Now? His E is a diminished product of that. Not only does it not feel as great to use, it slows him down and can be easily dodged. Before, you never knew when he would pull his ult because there wasn't an indicator, he just instantly went once you pressed R.
His old Q, although costly in the mana department, unloaded nice damage if you hit it and it took some skill, so its not like he was an easy type of champ to play.
His W was another amazing aspect- it healed him off of damage that he took and raised him or others defenses. I LOVED that shield.
His E was alright but it was still cool- sped people up and had a cool animation.
Now, he's just a big white weird Alligator looking type statue with a tail. His ult can't even be used on enemy champs- he has to ult one of his own teammates before it can hit anyone. That's my biggest peeve, it's not that fun to use.
His Q is harder to use and doesn't deal as much damage. His W is a short ranged dash which can't even go over terrain (which Riot is all about terrain covering champs now, IE Talon, Kayn, etc). His E already talked about.
New Galio? Just plain yuck. I wish Riot would revert his rework like they did Kog and keep his remaining ult and things people liked about him, but still gave him a relevant update.
But knowing Riot, I know they won't, which makes it all the more sad.
Sigh.
