How to play against Galio

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Hit the first wave early so he cannot win level two and roam for free.
2. Stand outside the minion wave to make Q choose between poke and push.
3. Path around his W and flash range when chasing; do not turn a won skirmish into his engage.
4. Punish roams by shoving mid and taking plates when you cannot arrive first.
5. Delay burst until W ends, because hitting into his damage reduction wastes your fight start.

Where Galio is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Galio's engage is short-ranged and telegraphed, so disciplined spacing forces him to rely on Flash or allies.
• He is built to blunt magic burst, but sustained physical damage and kiting wear down his front line.
