Simple Thing To Note Before Starting The Mini-Guide: The Chapter
You may proceed with the mini-guide now~
Introduction / How I usually play
I am probably far too new to be creating a simple guide like this (that probably won't be updated, like, ever again), but I only saw one Galio Sup guide that's detailed so I decided to give it a try. People underestimate this guy, seriously. (I got my eyes on the free week at the time of writing, but you can't see it..)
As for how I usually play Galio Sup (or just tanky supports in general - like Poppy), I aim to sacrifice myself for the ADC - and other team members too. I usually throw myself in front of the attacking enemy so I can receive the damage instead of my team members. Sure, that can make me die a LOT, but it just feels so good to know you're doing JUUUUUUUUUUUUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Make big colossus guy proud, baby!
Pros / Cons
+ Good CC with his W and Ult (yes, his Ult has more utilities than just dealing damage)
+ Good attacking overall
+ Poking with Q can be satisfying for you, annoying for the enemies
+ It's Galio. He's good. And a handsome guy. Don't doubt me.
- VERY mana hungry early game
- Sadly, not as tanky as other tanks
- Easily taken care of if you don't watch out
- Ulting can go wrong A LOT
Skill Sequence
> Q is your main source of damage, so maxing it first is mandatory.
>> E is your secondary source of damage, so I recommend maxing it before W. But hey...
>>> If you'd like to max W before E, that's also fine. W is a pretty good CC spell, but can screw you up sometimes if you miss it (remember: Galio gets slower while charging this ability up), so I don't recommend maxing it before E. But you do you, or whatever.
As for Galio's combo... it's hard to explain how I do it.
You see, with Galio, you can combo in different ways that can't really go wrong. So if you go Q > W > E, it's a combo. If you go W > E > Q, it's a combo. Sure, these aren't all that good, but they're still decent combos. But for me, the combo (usually) goes E > W > Q. Dash, annoy them by taking their control and smashing it to the ground, and then send them flying with your hurricane (not really, but that would be fun). Pew pew pew.
The ONLY problem I can think of at the top of my head is that you can accidentally steal lots of kills from your ADC when attempting to combo. But that's about it~ (you see me and my love for that phrase. It's sassy.)
Spells
Exhaust is the usual support spell and can help your ADC get kills. Other guides may have explained this stuff better than me, so bear with me and go check 'em out for more detail. Teleport is my choice instead of Flash because, for example, if my ADC is alone in lane and I wanna get there as fast as I can, or if the lane is completly unprotected altogether, I can use teleport and quickly get there to serve my duty as a support and PROTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
Farming
Relic Shield is incredibly helpful for farming as it grants both you and your ADC the same amount of gold (+ gives both of you health and that's nice), AND gives 2 gold every 10 seconds. But if you pay attention, you can't abuse of this ability - every enemy that you kill while an ally is within the shield's range consumes 1 charge of the shield, and once every charge's been consumed only you will receive the gold and health, so you could be stealing your ADC's farm without knowing.Oh yeah, and there's the classic "STEAL THE ADC'S FARM WHILE THEY'RE AWAY AND NOBODY WILL NOTICE" technique that every support loves. It's self explanatory. Just don't get caught - flaming could happen.
(Oh yeah, and by the way, remember to remind your ADC you've got relic shield - you never know if they have any idea of what the shield does and could flame you for nothing)
And with that, you've reached the end of my mini-guide! Now have fun smeshing stuff and protecting tiny creatures like a true stone colossus would~ (unless you're protecting, like, Malphite or Aurelion Sol.)
