While the whole kit looks very nice and thematic (cool idea with Protective Praying), the ult and innate are a completely different story.

First, the innate: It is somewhat unrealiable and hard to set up, plus it's counter-intuitive to his playstyle, which requires foresight and good positioning. Accumulating 3 charges is also impossible, since Gallant's a mage, he is using his skills all the time. For the last nail in the coffin, it doesn't seem to fit the theme of "a Saint of Light", as he gets powered up by the death of other people.

Now, the ult: As long as his target is visible on the minimap, he is able to channel for 2 seconds and then deal unavoidable magic damage on the target. Maybe you wanted a single-target Karthus' Ult, but it's very broken. 2 seconds mean you don't need much space between the enemies and yourself, the payoff is a very damaging spell than can deal as much as 600 magic damage. Plus 96% AP. Luckily, that will never happen because getting 3 charges for that is impossible. Still, dealing great damage on a global range to an enemy with no risks (because for 2 seconds you just need to go away a bit) is very broken.

You should really think about these two factors.
