@Riot - Gatekeeper Galio in the VGU

Oleandervine··4 votes·5,264 views

Will you guys be making Gatekeeper Galio a legit, modern 1820 skin worthy of sitting beside Star Guardian Jinx, Omega Squad Teemo, and Mecha Zero Sion? I feel like you guys kinds half-assed bringing Firefighter Tristana up to par (only adding particles), and I personally love Gatekeeper Galio and want it to be a lot better than what it is now.

Gatekeeper Galio will definitely be the biggest skin ChampUp has ever done. I wouldn't expect it to be as big as a modern legendary skin as those take a insane amount of time to make, and wouldn't really be worth delaying the Galio VGU by that long. It will however be much more legendary then Firefighter Tristana. It will have everything that current Gatekeeper has (Unique VO, Anims, FX.) He will have a similar number of VO lines that a modern legendary has though and whatever else extra we can squeeze in.

First to comment on a rioter comment!

But seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing what Riot do with Galio. Yorick seemed lackluster until I saw his spotlight, and if you can make an unappealing champ look awesome one time, I'm sure you can do it again. This skin will be the icing on the cake.

I just want a huge, marvelous explosion on his R. That is all :)

We need a better view of all the mana pots he's hoarding.

It will at least be updated to match the new model even if it isn't redone from scratch

Are you giving Debonair a completely new model? I feel like the skin has a lot of potential (even for a 750 RP one). I hope you guys give him a jaw at least as wide as it is currently in the splash (which I really love).

As with all our VGUs, we build the champion from scratch as if it were a new champion. This means that none of the old skin models work anymore. which means that we have to build all the skins from scratch as well.

Awesome! I'd personally love if you kept Debonair Galio's 'attractiveness' with the update. Looking forward to it as a whole anyways. :D

and for Warwick, is Marauder only getting updated in the splash?

RiotReav32 votes

Correct, we will be updating the current Marauder splash

Moonboy651 votes

woops, didn't phrase that correctly

I meant to say if the Marauder Warwick/Ashe splash is getting re-done or only Warwick is getting updated in it, my bad XD

RiotReav32 votes

I meant that we are going to be updating the current one that exists right now. So just updating Warwick in it

quick question in future vgus, would you consider make a release chroma pack? i know all the redone skins and base model is alot of work but having a semi new skin for a old champ in the form of a recolor would be cool

Will Big Bad Warwick still make me die laughing? ;3

Oh that will be awesome! Thank you for elaborating!

Idgi though, if Firefighter Tristana is no where near the quality of current legendary skins then why is the price still the same?

RiotReav32 votes

Hmm, I'm not really the person to ask that as ChampUp does not decide or set skin prices.

That's like asking them to bring pulsefire ezreal up to par with the other ultimates, cause atm i'd stamp it at a 1350 skin at most.

Slim chance it'll happen

GreenLore2 votes

The big difference is that Galio gets a VGU and Ezreal doesn't.

Lùmen1 votes

They mentioned skins like PF Ez might get special treatment.. Keyword: MIGHT

They already mentioned somewhere that in Galio´s case the VGU will be bigger especially because he got a legendary Skin, a real, legit one with new VO and shit ( although no animations), compared to tristanas 1350 firefighter Skin that is labeled as 1820. Also, in Galio´s case, they have more resources to do so, as tristanas case were smaller gameplay changes, mostly on the visual side.

Well, Firefighter isn't even 1350, as it didn't get any animations. It's at most a 975 skin.

Lùmen1 votes

Oh, you didn't know? That skin was 1820 once.. The Magnificent Twisted Fate is still 1820 RP as of today, it's just that Riot did not address it yet. Many weird, nothing special-skins were overpriced for pretty much no reason several years ago. I dunno, ask Riot.

FF Tristana is an extremely old skin that could use a new VO (idiotic 520 quality skins used to be legendary for no reason... back in 2011-)

MiIf Fortune1 votes

exepct her skin today would be 975-1350 it did change particles and now its 1350 tier but not 1820

Church7381 votes

(Ill be honest i didn't read everything here so if this is a repeat my bad) but Galio's E "Justice Punch" needs to be changed to read "Judgement Punch"....only real complaint. Love the VO on the new Gatekeeper Galio skin! I would of like to seen different animations and stuff but he has some pretty good spam.
