Galio is essentially a better version of Orianna

You have a shield and MS boost? I got that too, except my shield also heals. Amazing AOE ult? Well, I also have that, except mine isn't a skillshot, so I don't miss. And I can also tank, since I actually scale well with MR, and still have amazing damage. So please tell me, what's the point of playing Orianna when Galio does literally EVERYTHING she does better?

Orianna is ranged.

Say what? Ori is better, more team oriented and can solo the most op champs in game.

Orianna's defensive skill is an HP shield capable of reducing damage by 100% and usually over 50% in a lot of trades, and it stays very relivant early and deals with true-damage like Ignite. Galio's Bulwark in an armor/MR steroid that can only block damage by at most 47%, and significantly less at rank 1.

Orianna's speed-boost can easily be cast on allies or herself without interupting her movement. Galio's speed-boost forces Galio to stop moving, and it's fairly unreliable to use on allies while also telegraphing their movement.

Orianna's ult applies max CC duration instantly and at significant range. Galio's ult CC can easily be interupted and prevented through CCing Galio, which Leona, Udyr, and Xin'Zhao can all force to happen instantly via auto-attacks alone. Galio's ult also has a notably longer cooldown and usually requires comboing with Flash.

Orianna's AA is ranged and benefits from a pretty solid on-hit effect. Galio's AA is melee, and does not.
