Do global / long range abilities bother you?

I feel like having a jungler (nocturne) who can gank your top lane then leap to mid for a gank is kind of hell for the other jungler. I feel it in the bones of every jungler who faces off against a noct. You're just minding your own business, people have pinks, then your bot lane gets a noct missle and you're just powerless.

Compare that to Galio ult. targeted ally. You may think it's just reverse nocturne but it isn't really. If you're roaming top lane and noct ganks bot, you're bot is pretty screwed. But if you're noct and you see galio roaming top lane you can just ult bot lane. Galio can't prepare for his ult he just has to be in the right area at the right time, which is a little backwards. Then there's Noct being a jungler and Galio being a laner. I'm sure you CAN jungle with galio pretty okay but he's not a jungler at heart, his kit doesn't support jungling. I would change Galio's ult to a global. Which you may think is BS considering what it does but it's supposed to be an anti-gank mechanism. He can't use it vs his laner so his entire laning phase is at a disadvantage. Replace it with an incredibly useful anti-gank global. Increase the CD, take away the damage, leave the buff and knockup. Think of it like Shen's ult but it takes longer to activate and instead of shielding and porting directly to the person you give a damage resistance buff and a knockup. If you don't think it should be global it should AT LEAST track whoever your ulting to. A smart team will bait the Galio ult and then just walk away from it.

Then there's karth and soraka. What do you do against a full AP/health buff soraka and a luden-liandry karthus (provided they aren't garbage)? Unless you've been DOMINATING all game up till they hit 6 it feels a little iffy against those comps. Your trades aren't just trades it's "if i can't kill this guy while staying at half health after it's over then there's no point" The guys who have either of those 2 champs literally just have to chill out until 6 and ask to watch for an ult. (provided they aren't garbage)

Panth, Ziggs, and the 3 ADC's with globals don't bother me because they're skillshots. Those abilities are great and so long as you're good with them they're effective tho I wish Panth's ult behaved like Ziggs ult, when you jump somewhere at max range it takes longer than at close range. I mean ziggs ult outdamages panths, it's an instant cast so he can use it as a part of his rotation and it doesn't put him in range of danger so he can use it on somebody at tower.

The only ability that annoys me is Shen's ult. Then again, I shed tears today laughing when playing Shen in OFA. I got caught out and almost died, until shen ult'ed me, I ran back, shen came out taunted, I almost die again, another shen ulted me, and another shen ulted the first shen, until it became the choo choo ult taunt train.
