That is exactly the point I am making. Riot announced that he would keep his status as a warden/battle mage hybrid, but he doesn't really play like a member of either class. His damage is way too focused on his on-hit innate and fight-entering dashes to have him count as a real battle mage, and he doesn't have nearly enough ally-oriented gameplay to truly count as a warden. At best, he's a vanguard with a bit of poke and an ally sort-of shield, and at worst he's a diver with lots more AoE crowd control. In any case, his gameplay carries very little relevance to Old Galio, meaning that his current playstyle will be lost once the update goes live.
