Galio Matchups

Enemy Matchups

Good Against
Yasuo	Galio is a good pick against Yasuo since Winds of War can break Yasuo's shield easy. Justice Punch and Shield of Durand are the CC skills that is an advantage for your jungler to gank in your lane.
Orianna	Orianan is a long rang skill champion that is so powerful in mid lane. However, pick Galio to play against her is a good idea. Galio has Winds of War that can poke and farm from distance. Justice Punch can get close to Orianna and Shield of Durand can taunt her so that you can deal damage to her.
Annie	Annie has high magic damage in mid game that can one shot squishy any champion with her skill combo but not with Galio since he is a tank champion with high magic damage. Annie has low mobility which is an advantage for you to lane your skill on her.

Hard Against
Zed	Picking Galio to Play against Zed is not a good idea. You may win in the early but when Zed get level 5 he can one shot you with his Death Mark combo.
Fizz	Pick is good champion to pick against Galio since his Playful / Trickster can get away from Galio skill and his skill combo is really powerful that also can one shot Galio sometimes.
Aurelion Sol	Aurelion Sol is champion that can roam to other lane easy with his Comet of Legend. Therefore, it's a good skill to help your teammate when Galio trying to roam with his ultimate Hero's Entrance.
