Is this even a thing? When I look at Galio, he seems like he could be a solid jungler. His burst of movespeed would be good for surprise ganks, his shield gives him sustain, his Q is AOE, and he's naturally kinda tanky.

Am I crazy? Because I don't think I've ever seen this.

There is a reason you never see it, think about it. It sucks. Lacks sustain and has mana problems.

Don't get me wrong, anything can work if you do it right, but I don't see it being effective.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand youre out of mana

his mana costs are too high and he doesnt have a gap closer, his ult is amazing yes but he has no form of mana sustain and his passive doesnt help him in the jungle

basically what youre doing is naming good parts of his kit and saying "therefore he can jungle!" which you can do for almost every champion, but instead of looking at what could make it a good jungler you should look at what makes it a bad jungler which is his mana costs and lack of a gap closer

I know a RIOT member does it, but it's very niche and, like others have said, it's not too great.

Tried this, doesn't work as well, ganks are pretty bad...your best bet if you want to try something similar, but works is either:

Annie, Karthus or Gragas.

Galio is an awkward jungler. Terrible clear speed and mana problems without blue buff (With blue he's... less than "good") His ganking relies on a skill shot and it's only a slow, and when he gets his ult, damn near any jungler can stop it in a counter gank. He's also a terrible duelist and his gold requirements are astronomical for what he is.

Until he gets a rework there's not much point in playing him at all, let alone the jungle.

He's only good as a mid, and even then if it isn't an AD mid

Basically how I play LoL

Nerf his damage, change his E and his R, and you will have a fairly balanced champion.
