Galio Top, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Galio's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Galio is an AP tank in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 51.5% win rate, 0.3% pick rate, 2,991 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Galio spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.
How Galio wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and landing engage and starting fights on Galio's terms. The kit grades 10/10 roaming, 9/10 engage, 9/10 teamfighting. Play around where Galio is thin, split-push (3/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
The most-played core build is Hollow Radiance, Riftmaker, Zhonya's Hourglass, which holds a 64.4% win rate across 73 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
The lane swings the other way into Jhin (54.4%), and on the team side, Galio gains the most from a Zed (+9.4% pair win rate).
