Remains just a theory most of the time due to how easy it's interrupted. It isn't just things like xin zhao's three talon strike. If people are mid-dash or mid cast, they can run into him, or interrupt him after he's started the cast. it seriously needs a grace period of some kind. I even got interrupted by riven's W. Safe to say she was taunted, but I was off by 0.15 seconds and the stun went through. I'd love it to interrupt casts once activated because of that. What kind of cluch cc ability relies on that kind of precision, while placing yourself in the middle of an enemy team where CC is already flying everywhere? The best I can do is tell my team to expect my ult for peels, not engages - and that's what makes it work. Stand at the midline and intercept and ult assassins. Works like a charm. Talon came sprinting in with his ult, stealthed - I used my own, didn't even reach anyone important. I'm at the front and use my ult and somehow get knocked back by jannas, even though I taunted her. The fact that being first to get off your ability doesn't matter just feels unfair.

Just another reason why you can't use him as an engager. Can't ever get my team to understand this, though. Galio is almost like a reverse janna; instead of knocking people back, he draws people in (but still away from people). The problem is galio needs to fully channel to be effective. He does kind of beautifully as a follow-up to an engage, though when the cc risk is lower - which is why I tell the actually engager to get captain's enchant. I'm probably overly commited to getting him to work, but he absolutely destroys when things fall into his favour. Problem is too many elements generally aren't.

I even wish it had a miniature dash or flash so I get an indicator for the size before I use it. An ult isn't (arguably) the kind of thing you should spend time getting the feel of the exact size for when it's that high of a cooldown. It's more of a newbie change, but it's basic design to provide feedback for the user.
