Petition to Revert Galio

I've been an avid supporter of League, ever since it's launched. I've played DotA in Warcraft 3 TFT, and when the MOBA franchise split into Dota 2 and League, I blindly followed Guinsoo to the Dark (read: League) Side. But recently, it seems that League has taken a turn for the worse. Maybe it's just my prejudice, but for one, it feels like micro-transactions have overtaken the company's love for the game. Riot's lost its light that once drew a player base due to an intriguing lore and deeply thought out characters; now it feels as if some head honchos somewhere care only about pumping out perfunctory champions and skins, quantity - not quality, and completely undermining 7+ years of work. Which brings me to Galio. This monument, this gargoyle, this champion that was the embodiment of those gothic statues one would see on old cathedrals across the world. His story (which was tied with the original Canon Poppy - who also got destroyed by either greed, or sightless new management ) was interesting, and had this heartwarming ring to it. He was well voiced, well rounded. And, someone took the phrase "If it ain't broken - fix it 'till it is" took heart; and now we got this pathetic, anticlimactic wannabe Optimus Prime champ. I ask my fellow Summoners to come together and hopefully let our voices be heard; sure, maybe the champion is in for an update, but please - at least make it a well thought-out change. They've already destroyed Renekton, Nasus, Xerath, Poppy, amongst others (lore-wise). Do not let them continue this please. And I ask the developers, if they really do care about their playerbase - please take the time to make this decision transparent. Why undertake this change?

I kinda like the new rework, but not as a rework. Make it an individual champ with the lore being based off of the original Galio. Demacia recreated Galio tenfold as a reward for his service to Demacia.

That would explain away the similar skins / attitude and quotes, I've been trying to coin it as Galiossus, as he is the 'Collosus!'

But Galio is the only champ I play and I really don't want him to change into this new thing which has a completely different playstyle! :(

I near-never spend money on this game, but if they'd do this I would buy all Galio's skins (of the 2 I don't already own (Enchanted/Commando)) plus Galiossus and all his skins as a thank you!

The poppy rework was the biggest tragedy so far in my opinion. Even less people play her now that they made her completely useless and gave her an ult that can only be useful in extremely rare circumstances
