Champions that still have clunky cast times on movement speed spells

I'll throw on there too, but I think hers is a bit more justified than the others since it's a slow on top of an MS buff.

Proposed changes for each champion:

Decrease missile speed and remove cast time. This way it's not just instant damage but at the same time it doesn't slow Galio down to cast it.

Remove cast time. Straight up buff, but hey, GP could use one.

Same as Galio.

I don't even know where to start with Yorick, this champ has so many problems, but in an effort to not derail the thread entirely I'll just attempt to solve this one. Speed up his attack animation. Can't tell you how many times my Q hasn't gone off just because the enemy runs faster than my little hobble. Something similar to how Maokai's autoattack works when his passive is ready.

For Yorick , it's an AA modifier, so you have to AA to get the MS. Not much to be done about an AA that makes you stop moving For Galio and Nocturne , they're ALMOST justified; you're casting something ahead of you. Nothing to say against Gangplank . Casttime makes the active near-useless (MS-wise). Pls rito

They can change how the attack animation works so that it starts and finishes faster. That's how they nerfed Kalista initially, just do the reverse for Yorick. As for Galio and Nocturne, it's not justified at all. All the benefit you get is taken away by the fact that you have to stop to cast it. They should make the projectile a bit slower and take away the cast time entirely. That way it's not just a straight buff.

Akali When her W was changed from being a defensive steroid to a move speed modifier, Riot never changed the fact she has to stop to use it.

See this one I can kind of understand. It's a slow on top of a movement speed buff.

Regardless, not talking about Akali. Honestly I'm mostly talking about Galio since he's the only one of the four I mentioned that I play consistently, but I'd like to see the change for all of them.

Galio's can be used by the whole team so it doesn't matter too much.

Gangplank's makes the speed boost useless however since the delay lets them get farther ahead then if you just kept running.

Gangplank's can also be used by the entire team. More so than Galio's actually since the only thing GP's teammates have to do to get the buff is be semi-close to GP, Galio's have to walk in the small space that Galio puts it. Point is movement speed buffs shouldn't have cast times.
