Playing against Galio
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Galio is weak against AD champions in lane — he scales MR but not armor naturally.
2
His R can only target an ally — if his teammates aren't in range, he can't use it.
3
W (taunt) has a visible windup: dash or Flash out of the zone before he releases it.
4
Punish him when his E (dash) is on cooldown — it's his only mobility.
