Champion short description:

A champion who is already known in the mid lane for countering some champions and who brings a lot of CC can also be played as a supporter for this very reason. And which champions counter Galio? Anything that likes to jump into the middle of your team and can’t withstand much, especially Assassins, but also other melee fighters like Yasuo or Master Yi. And yes, these are not champions that you (usually) find on the bot lane, but even then he can do a good job against support champions, so you’re not at a disadvantage in lane.

Description Skill Order:

The reason Galio works as a Supporter is primarily his “Shield of Durand” (W), which can be charged to increase its range and effectiveness, and then taunts all enemies around you, causing them to attack Galio or run to Galio. Passively, this ability also gives him a shield that only blocks magic damage, and that regenerates if you haven’t taken damage for a while.

But that’s not the only CC Galio brings – with his “Piercing Justice” he first takes a step back and then jumps forward to throw up the first enemy champion he meets on the way. However, if several enemies are standing very close together, in rare cases you can also throw them all up in a small radius.

Both the passive ability “Demolishing Colossus” (P) and his “Winds of War” (Q) only deal damage, which cannot be ignored, but in most cases only adds a little more damage to the CC combo or can be used to kill minions if you want to go back to base, for example.

Not to be forgotten, however, is the “heroic appearance”, which not only brings strong CC, but can also take you across about half the map and gives all team members in the large circle a shield against magic damage. However, it can only land on one position of a teammate and it takes a few seconds before it reaches its target. It is therefore good to combine this ability with a teammate who has a champion with an opening that puts you in the middle of your opponents and, at best, CC.

Description of the build path:

Galio is a classic tank support. That means we need tank items that give life and resistances, but they also have to help our team somehow, because it’s no good if an Engage support simply survives for as long as possible as long as the team simply dies. Accordingly, we mainly want to access the tank support items whose effects help our teammates to survive longer.
