Galio Jungle?

Swollwonder··1 votes·2,300 views

Has anyone tried Galio jungle? I had some guy threaten to troll when another guy banned Galio because he was going to go Galio jungle. Luckily someone dodged. Does jungle Galio work?

Edit: Second game where this may happen. In my Promos. Lovin league. Thankfully another dodge.

I don't see why it would work. Galio's weakness is that he's generally slow moving, that makes for slow rotations, slow ganks.

Generally I'd say no, no matter how good you are Galio jungle is going to fail a lot of the time due to how long it takes for him to get around. There is the ult, but when that was on CD he'd be basically useless.

His ult has a fairly short cooldown honestly but I just dont see him being good at jungle

It works decently tbh, his Q gives him ok clear, his E is good for initiating and he creates his own followup ith W, R lets you react to counter gnak at any time its not the best but its workable.

I didnt think his E had the longest range. It's like an ok dash at best with the back step it creates

its range is pretty decent but mostly its width is huge, it actually gives you a big margin of error when trying to predict flashes which is pretty huge while jungling. I'm not saying hes the best ever but he could definitely work at the very least until high diamond.

I've seen people play it in Coop vs Ai as a test i suppose.

  1. has good gank potential
  2. has good AOE / camp clear
  3. had good sustain from his W
  4. His proximity threat in the jungle makes it easy for ult most lanes.
  5. he is items reliant, so jungling benefits him faster.

He is currently being banned for being reworked and new. able to jungle has nothing to do with it.

I expect nerfs over the next few months, just like Camille.

As soon as I saw that they were reworking Galio i told myself "man i hope i can jungle with him"

And then when they released his abilities again I thought "oh man I think im gonna be able to jungle this dude"

Then today he got released and I got to jungle with him... went 7-6-17.

I had a malph on my team that gave me incredible follow up with my ult, was able to turn around 2-3 fights that should have been loses without it. He plays kinda like a Shyvana imo ( as in you just kinda farm until you are you strong, gank if something is open and easy)

The clear was eh, comparable to a zac clear, but with less sustain since you really only have 2 moves to clear camps with. Ganks are awesome with your ult, but even without it if you can position right your golden.

All-in-all I would say yes he can jungle, but it heavily depends on your team comp, and if your team can survive without you for a bit while you get your cinderhulk.

On a side note, I also took him bot lane as a support and very much liked it as well. I think the new guy has a place everywhere but top tbh.
