The best thing about galios rework
His abilities, design and such are great, as always, but the thing that really gets me, the Piece of genius that sells me the character, is his interaction with Poppy.
Because It makes sense, because its a Direct consequence of the type of character Riot has built. Not because galio going inactive for years makes him loose everyone he likes except poppy, because you know, yordles live for centuries. NO.
It's because galio is a "living" symbol, a legend that lives up to his legend, the eternal and golden guardian, powerful and cocky enough to convince everyone except himself that he is perfect. But he isn't, because he can't connect with those he protects, because he has nothing other than his mission, and he knows this, and It hurts. It really hurts him to not be able to have what the small people he cares so much about have. He may fly, but he isn't Superman, he is captain america, a warrior that fights for something so much bigger than himself, nevermind he is the size of a mountain.
Poppy is the exact opposite, she constantly reminds herself that she isnt good enough, that she cant find a Hero because of her imperfection, and It is true, because she cant find the demacian Hero (herself) because she fails to recognice her own potential.
They both desire what others have, without completely understanding how much of a good place Demacia is thanks to them.
The everlasting colossus, inmobile, apparently proud of his guts and might, depressed and lonely in the inside.
The wandering midget, who lives to see the good in others but not herself.
The saviours in the hour of need.
Thanks Riot.
