Galio Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Galio by CounterStats

WayOfTheTempesst says “Although Galio is supposed to be a mage counter he actually doesn't do TOO bad into Yasuo. Galio has a lot of cc combined with aftershock he can actually chunk you pretty hard with his combo. Also, since he has so much cc his gank setup is pretty strong so be wary of that. Bait out his W and go in when its down or else he will hit his whole combo on you. Can go Cleanse if their jungler has a lot of cc also if you struggle.”

Katawina52 says “(always go Conqueror vs Galio) If he E's in and you're healthy at (mostly) all levels you can all him after he procs aftershock (you should have conq in this matchup). Being healthy when fighting is key! If you are both at equal health you will most likely lose the trade. If you can dodge his E with yours, go in after and you shouldn't lose (mostly killable pre first back). Lane gets EXTREME hard to kill once he has some component item and some levels, but you should still be able to kill it depending on his spell usage. Galio can set up ganks very well so keep an eye on the enemy jungler and how he is pathing. Follow his ult roam and try to move already when he is going to move so you're there way earlier. Mercs good vs Galio if they have more CCs ”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Very boring lane, he can never kill you but you can never kill him. Take conq and just scale and hope your team doesnt die to his roams. Take unflinching with 2nd wind just to get through his cc easier. Only way you really die is if you choose to go aggro when his jungler is nearby and you get chain cced.”

Fuzzmonkey says “This match up is mainly based on reactions but LeBlanc does still struggle against Galio because he is an anti-mage champion. If Galio can taunt Leblanc when she W's in, he will win the trades. If Galio can't do this, you should be able to get a free trade onto him if you dodge his charge.”

Yasukeh says “Galio is definitely much harder after his recent changes. he can very easily 100-0 you and overall outtrade you from early on. If you go on him early when he has all cooldowns up, he will win the trade. Wait for him to use his Q to farm or harrass and then jump on him. When you are going out from a trade, his charge is much faster than your spin now, so you have to spin much earlier in the animation to dodge it. ”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA). Corrupting due to his Q poke and because it's practically impossible to nuke him down in a single burst. We need all the sustain we can get. Play with cleanse if the setup with their jungler is too strong (Heca/Galio for example). Galio provides lots of CC but it is fairly predictable. I would play with Ignite but would stay safe on lane and focus more on ganks. Beware! Everytime you gank there might be a Galio ult popping up on your target location (their ADC most of the times), so every time you roam consider it that it will be a 3v3 (unless you finish the job quickly). Play according to that fact.”

Polarshift says “Not too much of a threat. Hes melee, you are quite good at escaping when you're not cc'd and you can dodge all of his abilities. Be careful of his taunt, because its an excellent tool to set up a gank. With a bit of magic resist he should never be able to kill you.”

iZianni says “Melee champion that is susceptible to ranged poke, being able to cast while moving makes it harder for him to lock you down but he's a literal magic tank after picking up a little hp. All he really needs to do is survive lane phase to impact sides/team fights. Syndra still does very well into this match up since you have the anti-engage with E, but you'll need to play team fights better. If you over commit, you'll basically die to a short cast taunt into knock up combo for 900 damage with one D ring. ”

elnino9 says “Close to an unplayable lane but managable. He has no serious kill pressure unless you mess up somewhere, other than that you both just sit back and farm. If he gets a gank, immediately try to shunpo away. Ganks are you worst enemy in this matchup because Galio is a great setup for a gank with his taunt. He has a free magic shield, don't hard poke him. Focus on farming and being in a safe distance. You CAN kill him early on if he takes too much minion aggro because galio mains get cocky and play very aggressive against a Katarina. Fight him with Q dagger setup on minion, then EW, E out. Do this when he just used taunt or just used his passive auto attack so he doesn't trade back for a lot.”

Ambitieux says “In this lane It's mostly a pretty pokey out lane. You have more advantages early due to his high mana usage but he will ALWAYS out damage you in pokes. Use your autos to your advantage and try to push and look for roams. He wont take much damage but you have better pick potential. Save ur charm 100% in this lane for when he dashes towards you. use it and run away. Or to bait and setup ganks. He is pretty easy to gank with you being able to interrupt his dash. Make sure to ping MIA and ward rivers”

iZianni says “Galio has increased MR along with hp itemization which makes it impossible to one shot him. You do have range advantage early but unfortunately Galio Q will instantly clear waves while giving him roam opportunities. There's not really much to do in this match up unless you have jg priority, because both of you clear waves pretty easily. The issue is Galio will 100% kill you if you misposition, whereas it's impossible to kill him without jungle or incessant trading that puts you in danger. ”

LunarVortex says “Your spellshield counters his entire kit pretty hard. He is also an easy Q target because of how telegraphed his dash is. He will try to push you in and roam.

Avucado says “Galio is very hard to kill, can potentially outtrade you and can roam just as well as you can. Start E lvl 1, free way to do half his health early. After that you don't want to E him to trade because he will CC lock you and do over half your health. He can keep you shoved into tower and match your roams easily. Big hitbox makes hooking him easy which makes ganks very easy. If he's running aftershock then it'll be nearly impossible to solokill him. ”

Eriosunx says “Galio is a very common matchup for Katarina, the best option is going CONQUEROR+BOTH RESOLVE/DOMINATION. Rushing BOTRK is the best option, but going NASHOR'S WORKS AS WELL. You will find 3 types of Galio players. The ones going basic Galio (AFTERSHOCK-TP) pretty easy to fight, just go when he has his keystone and boneplating down. The other ones going for BURST DAMAGE (DH/ELEC+IGNITE) even easier to face but you must be carefull to take the one on one when you are full hp! And last the PHASERUSH GALIO, I still havent figured out how to play into that, he engages on you and runs out with PHASERUSH and you have no time to counter-trade. Just dont trade with him and focus on csing and side-map plays”

He has insane wave clear, roams, trades, and gank set up - not only this but it's almost impossible to one-shot him.

GeDBo says “Galio is a specific match up that is neither hard nor easy. You both can punish each other severely if one of you does a mistake and the opponent manages to notice the mistake and react quickly. The reason I am saying this is because Azir is very dependent on his soldier (w)'s positioning. Galio can get out of their range and if he manages to get close to you, you will loose the trade. Poking him won't work either since he is somewhat counter to mages. Maybe considering AD Azir would be a good idea? Nah, I'm joking. Please don't do that. Galio is very dependent on short trades, kills and assists, since farming against a ranged champion will be hard. All you have to do is pick some sustain runes - Lethal Tempo or Conqueror. I specifically would go for Conqueror since I will surely need that stacking adaptive damage and little bit of healing since he won't be able to burst me. Always keep a spare soldier so whenever he jumps on you (trust me he eventually will) this way you will have an escape route. Buy vision and ask jungler for help if necessary.”

BloxNaderYT says “In the early game Galio has almost full control of the lane and can perma shove waves under Senna's tower. This allows him to have good reset timing, allow him to roam, and crash waves when minion hp values are unfavourable for Senna. As Senna's waveclear is already quite bad, she may have a hard time last hitting minions, let alone get a good recall timing”

wildersovereign says “One of Morgana's best matchups, which is good considering how oppressive Galio can be towards many mages and mid lane in general. Early, you basically durdle against each other. Make sure you're focusing more on dodging his Q than getting poke yourself since his poke is way more impactful early than yours is. Once you rack up a few levels, though, you really start to feel the sharp difference in power between you. Your Black Shield negates every attempt he'll make to do anything against you, and you can respond with a powerful Q+W combo that'll shred him pretty quickly. You can Q him during his relatively slow E animation, which makes his engage really weak against you. Outside of mid lane, you both want to push the wave and roam. This is something a good Galio will attempt to accomplish early. If he fails to get the ball rolling early, though, your waveclear is superior to his, so you'll be roaming faster and getting fed faster than he could ever dream of.”

invalidd says “Pretty easy, your kit allows you to easily outplay his, you can hook him out of the dash and taunt, your regen makes his Q poke worthless, you can also force him to dash into your E which allows for an easy hook, and you're an AD champ so his ult won't be efficient against your damage, E lvl1 is strong. Fairly easy to setup ganks on.”

(11.3) WAY OF PYKE by invalidd | Pyke Player

SkyBanana says “Galio's Ultimate can shut down your engagement since his ult gives his allies a magic damage shield. This is an incredible power few people have to realize. Not to mention you won't do damage to him since his W passive is obnoxious so you have to wear him down.”

Sylvan Lore says “Galio is quite strong against Orianna, but that doesn't mean you can't beat him. Early levels you want to do your best to match his push by landing your Q on as many minions as possible. Even your strongest push will be outmatched by his Q and passive, but at least then you are not completely shoved in. Do your best to track the enemy jungler at all times. If you do not know where they are, do not overextend at all. His gank engage is amazing and any backup will change his large chunk on you into an easy kill. You will be more useful than him if you can take it late but that is easier said than done.”

[11.3] Command: Attack - One Trick Orianna Mid by Sylvan Lore | Diamond Orianna Player

Aikairi says “Build AD and get 3 points into E. Make sure you dodge his dash, and try to fight him early since he'll be a bit harder to kill during mid to late game. If he tries to taunt you and you're level 5 (you should have 3 points in E by then), then you should be able to shunpo out of it unless he fully charged it. if he didn't fully charge it, you can just sidestep his dash. Don't roam too much as well since he can follow you with his ulti and turn the whole fight around.”

Dr Eggmund says “Gosh Galio is annoying, a lot of CC in his kit and damage output can mean bye bye to Vladimir, however he is a melee champion so poke with Q as much as possible in lane and if he doesn't build any kind of magic resist early PUNISH HIM. Build Protobelt and get a magic penetration item like Void Staff or Liandry's to burst through this man. See how the lane play's out experience with a few Q's and E's to see if you can all in him later.”

Big Shawn says “Galio is a good champ versus Mages and other classes which base on Ability Power. Ekko can do fine against Galio, but he will be able to apply more pressure towards you as he gains the Magic Resist Shield through the passive of his W-Ability, which makes him slightly tankier. Therefore it is crucial that you poke him with your Q-Ability, and importantly bait his taunt. You never know where his jungler might be. Therefore it would be wise to ask your jungler to gank.”

Scyrine says “hard matchup but still winnable. Galio's usually engage with their dash. Don't waste your abilities trying to trade him, wait for his engage and E back.

[SEASON 11] ZOE ONE TRICK ALL MATCHUPS, ITEMS & RUNES by Sadkid | Diamond Zoe Player

Katfire says “Galio is quite a hard match up. Personally I feel this match up forces you to go for Conqueror, with BoRK rush. It is the only way to deal with him effectively. You should never stay in his Q after he uses it. Dodge his E. If he has aftershock he becomes nearly undamageable after he uses W due to the damage mitigation his W gives him paired with the defensive stat boost from procing aftershock. Don't R if his W or E are still up. When he is level 6 he can ult allies and offer them his magic shield, which will block a lot of your ability damage. Usually you would want to wait this shield out, but if you are caught in the middle of it try your best to E out of it or the knock up might put you in danger. He can use R to roam to other lanes so if he leaves lane try to keep track of where he is going and warn your teammates.”

From early on, try to stay with the caster minions to force his Q out to shove the wave into you. Your passive and Q allows for very easy last hits under tower from level 1. Make sure to poke him a good amount with abilities, and possibly all in him at level 5 or 6 (before he gets too tanky). If he takes aftershock, make sure to dodge his knock up and taunt.”

Veralion says “HoB/DH/beads. Galio has been significantly buffed recently and is now a bit of a pain. His Q poke hurts now and his punch is much faster and will catch you if you slack with your positioning for a fraction of a second. You can still move out of the way with your W up, but you’ve gotta be quick. Never let him taunt you. If he walks up and lands a taunt into a full combo, you’ll be chunked down to one third from full. If he punches and falls just short he will probably spam and land taunt, then his Q and passive will still do about a third of your life. Stay the hell away from him until 6 and just farm up under turret. You still can’t poke him down easily, so just prioritize farm and wait for a gank. You can handle getting nicked by his Q here and there. He’s heavily incentivized to build full AP now, so he’ll squish with a little bit of help. Once you have your ult, you can kick his ass by baiting his punch and immuning his follow up taunt. Be mindful if you go for a roam that he doesn’t follow, ult the fight, and ruin your team. ”

Try to poke him down when he goes to melee hit CS, or combo him when he does that. You can knock him low often with your combo but he's often hard to actually kill because of how tanky he is.

Gageowago says “(This is still a matchup that I am not too familiar with since he is not picked often, but there are a few tips I can give.) Try and keep your distance from him in lane, and don't waste too many spells on him because of his passive magic shield. If he steps up to you mirror his movements by backing up. If Galio manages to hit his knockup on you then you are about to lose a lot of health from his combo. After he chunks you back up immediately instead of going for a trade because his aftershock will absorb a lot of your combo. Try and keep away from minions to avoid Galio's poke damage. Another thing to remember is that Galio cannot flash taunt you anymore, so do not flash if he's channeling his taunt far away from you.”

The only advantage you have here is he has to get close to do any damage. You can kite him fairly easily. Be careful of his flash taunt, as it will screw you over for sure, and cause the trade to go in his favor. He might even be able to CC you long enough to kill you if he hits the taunt.”

Assuming he builds AP, you should be able to 1v1 him once you hit 6 since he won't have the health to survive your burst. Be aware that given the nature of Galio's abilities, he may go Abyssal Mask for a first item and it's at this point where you'll want to call your jungler for help.

Gambinos says “You counter Galio pretty well. You might have a bit of struggle as his tornado does alot of damage and he also have a taunt and airborne. Dodge all of those and you'll be able to kill him with your ult.”

Sozzoh says “Galio has built in MR, so you won't do much damage to him. Try not to get hit by his dash, and you should be good. Post-6, Galio is going to roam, and a lot quicker too. If Galio ults, you can stop it with your ult. Try and Shurima Shuffle him into your turret so you stop his ult, and most likely get a free kill off of it too.”

Katapullt says “Verry annoying opponent. Start Doran`s Shield and focus on CS. dodge his E with your E and be patient what he is doing.”

Witwickies says “Unless you will let him come close to you, it should be easy match-up. Be aware of possibility of W+Flash, so when he uses W without reason, be careful. Just poke him to death and make unable to even come to minions.”

Doctor_Dr says “How to counter: Poke constantly. Never get to close otherwise you lose trade.”

MidoriyaOGado says “Raramente você vai ganhar do galio por ele ter o kit perfeito contra fizz, Tendo ele um pocke constante com seu Q e sua resistencia mágica baseada na passiva de seu W. Fica bem dificil do fizz jogar. Procure outra lane para focar contra galio raramente você vai matar ele. tente usar a janela do lv 3 para forçar o flash dele ou possivelmente matar ”

DaBigNut says “Don't get taunted and watch out for the q due to it's high damage output, ya can be easily ganked if he lanes against ya.”

JuaniG17 says “Tanky but not a threat as long as he doesnt poke with his Q”

Itsyaboyorchid says “This kind of threat isn't noted because of his kill pressure, but because he can easily set up ganks for his JG and force you into a 2v1 situation. Other than that laning will be extremely slow. Focus on farming, make sure to poke with auto attacks whilst Galio walks up to farm.”

DuhBrandon says “Probably a gift from god if you fight this as you are building an anti tank build just one warning though, his ult will be a problem once you start roaming because as you might know he can go back up any teammate.”

Bengineer says “R.I.P: His magic damage reduction with his Shield of Durand is insane, you will not even dent his health. If you run into him often, permaban him over Anivia and Karthus”

Snowyfreezer says “Hes decently tanky so you can't really kill him and has lots of CC”

Palme201 says “Start Long Sword and take longer trades without enemy minions. Since he got nerfed he´s not a big Problem anymore”

Smol Jelly says “Galio's got the damage reduction and built in magic damage shield that makes lane rough for you. His dash is linear so you can catch him, but save your burst for when his damage reduction is on CD. Also, ping immediately when he leaves lane, as he has one of the strongest roaming potentials for a Mid Laner.”
