Galio Rework (Gatekeeper Skin Discussion)

Cool Pajamas·Mar 7, 2017·9 votes·2,308 views

Hello, a little while ago I remember receiving a notice from Riot in the client asking my opinion regarding the Gatekeeper Galio skins change in his future rework. I didn't know what to put since there were just fill in boxes, so I wasn't inclined to give a genuine response to a change I'm ignorant regarding the details of. Anyways, I miss his Gauntlets...Please bring them back. They were big and badass and it's not the same skin without them. Please, let Gatekeeper Galio have his massive Fists once more for his future rework coming in the next 2 patches.

What are your opinions of this people? Do you agree or have anything to add?

Galio before rework: Brightly colored Disney take on gargoyles

Galio after rework: Galio and Optumus Prime's love child.

I fully agree, its nice to have it like giant ass claws that he uses to do things other than with magic.

I disagree, those gauntlets were pretty cheesy and didn't match his designs

They matched his design very well. It was just a choice whether to have them or not with his design change. His overall original look was cheesy in general.

Agreed!

It's not just the gauntlets, though. I also hate that ridiculous beard! They, for some reason, gave him BEARD, for crying out loud!

Idk, I think he looks a ton better. I just hope he'll have a far more sinister sounding voice on his GateKeeper skin.

R.I.P. Gatekeeper Galio. You'll be trully missed!

That specific rework left a bitter taste in my mouth just because of this skin I used to love. I really feel that the Gatekeeper is utterly destroyed. He was a massive, Hellboy-ish pillar of crimson, cool tankiness... now he's like a night-elf gone demon, like Malfurion tainted by Fel or a random denizen of Satyrnaar. If I knew the direction they'd go to with this, I would never have spend 1800rp for that purple-green mess of a skin I got stuck with.

At least Hextech Galio looks nice...[zombie-brand-clap]

I think they should have made his dance playing a golden fiddle. Considering it'a a legendary skin and he has the same dance as all his other skins, wouldn't this make it fun and unique? Throw in a demon jamboree behind him and it's got all the makings of the Charlie Daniels song.

Would love to have them put this in before he get's released live.

Other than that the skin is pretty amazing.

Also, I never got an in-game survey asking about his skin rework. I own it, maybe it only applied to legacy client users?
