Need Galio counters?

He can be played top/mid/support, and jungle. Personally I like crushing meta slaves so thats why I'm asking. Every approach I've tried has failed even if i win lane he still outscales the picks i've made either in utility or overall. Tried Riven, Camille recently, Yasuo, Vayne, Fiora a long while back. All champions I'm experienced with.

Tbh I have difficulty avoiding his q (It isnt telegraphed at all, the vortexs placement basically feels random to play against (Difficult to predict) and hurts like hell with some points, The taunt personally feels unavoidable at melee range if he doesn't charge it (though with an obvious downside), and the dash seems like the main part of his kit you can really react to besides ultimate. He's a team fighting monster regardless of his lane and just useful overall. I really can't even think of a reason for someone NOT to pick him aside from just not enjoying him as a champion. I'm not saying he's the black Lotus of Lol, but can you actually name a champion that can be played in more than 3 roles viably? Most champions are good/great at 1 or two roles or subpar at 1/2.

Ex: Release Yasuo (Literally was cancer, google it) could mainly be played top or mid. I've seen people make current yas "work" in the jungle but there's a difference between working and excelling.

TL;DR: Anyways rant aside gimme some counterpicks? I thought of tryndamere but Trynd is basically useless if he gets chain cced (galio says hi) or maybe warrick? I dont know... I keep thinking pick AD

Fiora Renekton should both honestly shred him in lane.

up against galio?

item 3153 item 3814

item 3151 item 3116

its not galio thats killing you, its the fact that you're outnumbered while youre against him.

in terms of laning phase the best thing to buy against him is item 1054 + item 3211 then hes fairly irrelevant by himself, unless he has a stupid 3 kill advantage, or you're getting ganked.

i dont think hes hard to lane against, but i guess thats because i know what hes looking for or how to get value. best advice i can give is to make him shove the wave hard any time he uses abities against you, and just be sure to avoid the E + W combo, if you avoid his E he just burns his mana and gets nothing in return.

its also fine to shove him under tower, everything of his is aoe so he will be messing up his wave while trying to last hit under tower.

top lane counters would be irelia/riven/fiora/renekton anyone who can gap close and initiate onto him, they have a better early laning phase than he does and can really make him hurt.

mid lane id look for yasuo, ahri, and orianna, xerath. galio is very predictable, its going to be easy to hit him.

Damn I'm really bad with the top laners you meantioned (never played renek), and the only mid laners you meantioned that i can play well are yas and ahri.
