The changes to Warwick's personality gave me a thought about Galio's VGU

Does anyone else think it would be very interesting if, like Warwick becoming a vigilante rather than a murderous mad scientist, Riot turned Galio from a generally kind champion into a morally grey or even near evil one? With Demacia it's becoming more and more clear they're not perfect, and in fact kind rather fascist and forcibly traditionalist. Over the past while, several champions have shown characteristics opposite to how many see their country of origin, ex. Jhin is a serial killer from the "peaceful" Ionia, Ekko is a young, positive inventor from the grim and criminal Zaun, Camille is a ruthless, even cruel aristocrat from Piltover.

I think we need more Demacian champions that show their darker side, other then anti-heroes like Vayne and Lucian who aren't really that "dark", and turning Galio into their version of the Terminator would be a great first step, I think.

Galio has never been about gray area. He's always been a character inspired by Poppy's perseverance, and it gave him the motivation to carry on after his Master's death and move to Demacia, where he serves. I could see them potentially making him a little more cold in terms of personality, since he is a crafted being, but I don't see them making him have gray morality, as that would conflict pretty badly with what people love about the current Galio. No other champion in the game who's been reworked has had that dramatic a personality shift, and I don't think people would take it kindly if they did. If they want to make gray or evil Demacians, they need to create a brand new champion, not repurpose one who everyone's already fallen in love with. That'd be like making Urgot the prettiest man in all the land if they reworked him.

As a Galio main it would really piss me off I mean they're going to change his abilities and probably his playstyle outside of his ult would be heavily affected If his personnality change as well it wouldn't be Galio anymore Riot already made me stop playing Xerath since the rework, i don't want the same to happen with galio (especially since i got all his skins and they're not putting the possibility to refund them after the rework if the rework doesn't please us)

I don't think Warwick is really a vigilante, I'm pretty sure he would kill anyone in his way. The people he were chasing in the cinematic just happened to be criminals.
