A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At C tier, Galio is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Galio Mid games. The hardest matchups this patch are Syndra (46.2% win rate for Galio) and Ahri (47.5% win rate for Galio): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Sylas (53.6%) and Katarina (53.0%) are the matchups to look for, where Galio wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
