Can i finally say that Galio VGU was a mistake?

Can i finally say that replacing a unique tank with unique tools to peel by a mobile tank loaded with CC was SOOOOO DUMB by the design team? did people realise it?

you see people complain about the massive amount of CC, and they do not understand how we got here?

Pre rework galio peeled for his adc with bonus armor/mr, with bonus movement speed, and a situational CC He was replaced by a generic maokai with AOE CC, mobility, knock up (XD), and knock back on ult, as well as semi-global presence to make him nerfed in lcs like shen

He got damage reduction on his ult making him even more obnoxious for melees since they won't be able to kill a target before getting cc'ed by his ult. the damage reduction itself is beyond stupid because now you can't draft cheese comp like malphite/galio (since you could give 100 armor to malphite which was amplified by his W which increased his E damage)

but i guess we needed more knock ups right? right

keep doing this, release more cc, rework champions like urgot with a knock up cuz we need more release ornn which can increase cc duration, because WE NEED MORE CC NEVER ENOUGH

I think the new Galio is way more interesting and more fun to play. In my book, that alone marks a success. He also saw a surge in his play rates and he was nerfed when needed, which is why I think he is in a rather ok position right now. He isn't annoying to play against and you can have fun while playing him.

I mean, isn't this thread alone pretty subjective? You like the old Galio (other people do, too, of course), I like the new Galio (and other people like the new Galio as well).

The grey line is your "average top/mid champion". Galio is more frequently picked in top and mid lane than the average in those respected roles. Considering that his pick rate was absolutely low/nonexistent before the rework, this is an increase (as far as I am concerned)

I've been saying that Galio's vgu was a mistake since they released it. Nobody cares. I just want my old main back.

Let's not forget Maokai'S 1.0 ultimate which was really unique and useful - and allowed more counterplay vs flatout burst.... Then it's range got gutted and then it got replaced by a generic (better) Amumu ult.

It's more like a Nami ult but with a better effect and area, albeit slow moving and blcokable for teammates.
