Galio Matchups Overview
Galio General information
Galio tips and tricks
Always play respectfully once you hit level 6. Your Ultimate
R is pure utility and it cannot be used in a skirmish as effectively as most Supports.
Use the bushes in lane to get a surprise engage off on the enemy. Bursting them down will make the next few minutes of the laning phase much easier.
You can use your Ultimate
R to impact your mid lane with your Jungler. But before roaming, make sure your ADC will be safe from an all-in.
