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.
