So the Aatrox rework was pretty cool, but why did you rename him?

The new Dark Flight is phenomenally well animated!

But in all seriousness, you've just admonished Zac and Maokai for their cut-and-paste dash-in-and-lock-down tank playstyles [1 2] and now Galio does the same thing. Given he was previously an immobile sentinel who looked to intercept damage from his allies - I was honestly expecting a true Warden; someone who wanted to absorb spells and then release the stored power.

Don't get me wrong - this new character is fun in its own right, but is it Galio? I'm getting flashbacks of the Karma for how tangential the rework went with the starting point.

And what in his old kit fulfilled his sentinel fantasy? Shooting lasers from his eyes?

His new ult fits that idea a lot better; leaping in into a teamfight to come to someone's aid.

I never claimed his old fulfilled his fantasy - just that he had a unique place among tanks, and now he's just another dash-in-and-CC tank. I presumed they would dial up his fantasy in his rework.
