Royal Guard

Is there a reason why Royal Guard has this AMAZING str increase and + item str?

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're asking.

Royal guard ulti is +12 +24 +32 str, thats a lot isnt it o.O

He gets a lot of str, but he lacks shields, in fact when I use him I don't even consider him to have shields. Hes a huge heavy hitter without shields. I personally don't see anything wrong with him (besides the fact that phoenix knight has the same ult but only +8 per leve, but that should just be increasedl)

Phoenix Knight's ult gives shields AND strength, but we're replacing it entirely.

As for Royal Guard, 12/24/36 is a nice hefty amount of strength but it's his ultimate after all. Compare this with other ultimates like Soul Spear (Soul Troll), Silent Finale (Spirit of Vengeance), Stim Pack (Big Game Hunter), Dark Liberation (Banshee) and Hellfire (Blood Knight) and you'll find yourself asking "Wait...he only gets a lousy strength bonus?"

And yeah, he's low on Shield (now called Energy, by the way).

I will say, though, that we are reducing the slowing duration on Icy Blade in b2. We find it to be a bit excessive.
