Also, I don't think he has great matchups against bruisers. His poke is already fairly unreliable and can run him out of mana easily, and he doesn't have good sustained damage. His biggest counter would be someone like Xin Zhao who can jump on his face before level 6.
Anyway, support Galio is barely viable. I listed him as unviable in my support guide because his poke is unreliable, he's mana hungry as hell, and Bulwark is pretty lackluster in a 2v2 lane - it should be used on himself to gain AP from his passive to increase his trading power. He has no hard CC and almost no CC outside of level 6, and last but not least he is useless without farm.
Downvote incoming.
Keep up the work!
Mid - I'd take a point in W before lvl 6 so that when you are prepared to initiate with your ult for that lvl 6 kill, you can tag yourself with W so you deal more damage/heal whilst getting attacked. Again, no Athene's Unholy Grail? Seems logical to build from your Chalice of Harmony.
Top - Seem alright, but again, no Athene's Unholy Grail? I'm not so sure about that Rod of Ages+ Banshee's Veil+ Rylai's Crystal Scepter combo, but it looks alright. I'd think of E as a utility. I'd max W second instead, for the extra resistance.
Support - I've tried support Galio before. Starting Philosopher's Stone actually holds him back. Better to build from a Meki Pendant straight into a Chalice of Harmony before taking Philosopher's Stone/ Heart of Gold. Soul Shroud isn't that good imo, take Frozen Heart or Abyssal Mask. Maxing E isn't a good idea. I'd stagger it by maxing Q and W instead. The resistance for your ADC is invaluable during trades. The Q deals lots of damage + slows the enemy down, so you don't have to worry about using E to chase. And Q can also be used to zone more.
Since when did Riot intend for Galio to be a jungler? He doesn't have the kit to jungle. He has good sustain but has terrible ganks before level 6.
He doesn't have terrible ganks... They're just skill dependent.
