Galio the Colossus
Outside the gleaming city of Demacia, the stone colossus Galio keeps vigilant watch. Built as a bulwark against enemy mages, he often stands motionless for decades until the presence of powerful magic stirs him to life. Once activated, Galio makes the most of his time, savoring the thrill of a fight and the rare honor of defending his countrymen. But his triumphs are always bittersweet, for the magic he destroys is also his source of reanimation, and each victory leaves him dormant once again.

In Iron tier, Galio achieves a 54.5% win rate, which gradually declines to 50.5% in Diamond. This trend often indicates that Galio's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns. The declining performance (Iron (54.5%), Bronze (49.1%), Silver (49.0%), Gold (48.7%), Platinum (49.3%)) suggests that while Galio can be effective in lower ranks where opponents may not exploit vulnerabilities, higher-tier players are better equipped to neutralize Galio's advantages.
