Hextech Galio Post Rework

So, quite a long time ago, I started playing Galio. Years ago. He was never a main of mine, only something I played when I was in the mood, but I still quite enjoyed playing him. So, I decided to buy a skin for him. After looking through the available options, I really liked the concept of Hextech Galio, where he was a silver robot with cloth wings. Kind of a Renaissance Tech feel to him, like a Da Vinci robot or something. I really dug it. So I bought that skin and used it on Galio for years.

Then the rework happened. I actually didn't mind the gameplay side of it, it looked solid and mostly kept the same feel. As for the visual aspect, it completely alienated me from Galio and the "gargoyleness" that got me interested in the champ in the first place was gone. But that's fine, that's what skins are for, right? Except Hextech Galio is now an entirely different skin. It's basically just new Galio's model with a slightly more metallic look, but he's red for some reason and his wings are blue and electrical now? It's a concept that's entirely separate from what the concept was before. Not only that, but now it's barely above a boring recolor.

I bring this up now because I actually just played reworked Galio for the first time and I really missed the old Hextech Galio skin. So, I'm really curious as to why the skin changed concept so much during the rework. It's not like it resembles other Hextech skins now, at least not that I can tell. Not only did I lose my fav smiting gargoyle, but I lost one of my favorite skins.
