Why is Galio's ult on a higher cooldown than Amumu's?

Galio's ult is on a 5 second higher cooldown than Amumu's at rank 2, and a 10 second higher cooldown at rank 3. I'm here to ask why.

  • Galio's ult deals considerably less damage if Amumu builds full AP.
  • Galio actually needs to be able to sustain many hits to be able to ult.
  • Champs like Leona, Garen, Udyr, and Xin Zhao can cancel his ult while taunted because of their CC applying auto attacks.

Riot, this champion needs a few buffs. Why not start with this:

  • Galio - Idol of Durand (R) Cooldown reduced to 120/110/100 from 150/135/120

Amumu's doesn't stop spellcasting, only movement and attacking. If he ults Ziggs or Velkoz or Karthus or something, it won't do much.

Each has different weaknesses.

Galios ult duration is also unaffected by tenacity while Amumu's is

Galio is rather close to being broken

You really can't just compare two skills to decide a champion's effectiveness.
