"His "everlasting shame" is that he failed to protect his charge Durand. In game, Galio is a tank, a class meant to protect the damage dealers - and his greatest drawback is that he has no way to draw attention to himself and away from said damage dealers. Except for his ultimate, which mind controls nearby enemies to force them to attack him and then blows them up. Unfortunately it has one of the longest cooldowns of any champion ability in the game, and if it is down during the big teamfight, you will have to sit there and watch helplessly as the enemy runs past you and plows through your carries... and you will lose the game and it will be all your fault. It becomes Fridge Brilliance if you realize his ultimate is named "Idol of Durand." It's highly possible Galio learned the ability after Durand died so he wouldn't fail at protecting anyone again, and named it after the master he failed to save."
