Ever since galio's rework i've said to myself "no longer do i want champion reworks"
Because in some cases, it's just the same as removing this champion and adding another with a similar style. And i don't get why. If you're gonna rework a champion completely why not try to balance them around that playstyle? if you want them to become this other playstyle at least have some good similarities or just make a new champion. Yes i'm sad aatrox is getting removed, and i doubt i'll ever play the new one cus he just looks slow, clunky, and overall boring as hell to play, heck i doubt he'll be played at all past the first 2 weeks of release unless he's completely busted, and even then riot will probably give him some "people are still learning him" hotfixes, then nerf him again and leave him in the trash alongside galio and urgot, who are playable but like, so were they before the rework.
because they keep the champion's identity (even tho I'm still salty about AD Eve not even being a thing anymore), some are just as you said "remove this champion and add a new one with the same name).
has literally nothing to do with Galio and people like me actually enjoyed his playstyle and found it fun, now I don't even try to pick him anymore
