Galio Support actually counters both Draven and Thresh in lane.

His poke Q keeps them low and out of range, it also makes your ADC's skill shots easier to hit since it slows for a bunch of damage.

His defensive W can be used to shield your ally for 30-90 Armor/MR, which is usually a double up on their own Armor/MR. And if you use it on yourself you actually heal trough Draven's damage for 2 axes before you start to take damage.

And then his Ult R, is just perfect against a thresh, as they tend to ball up due to lantern, making it easy to land, and also gives you all the agro, so your ADC can free-shoot for 2 seconds.

I will repeat myself, Just because you've had bad experiences with Galio support, doesn't mean it's a bad pick nor a bad champ.
