Dear steakasaurus,

You state that Galio doesn't counter a Thresh/Draven lane, however the reasons you give as to why it wouldn't are pure fallicy. Let me explain;
 * Your first argument states that Galio's Q would be easy to dodge, though 8/10 players can't even dodge 3 in a row. Even so, against draven hitting the Q becomes easy, due to the spinning axes you know exaclty when and where he's going to be... Draven has 2 choices, don't pick up axes, or take the damage, time and time again. Hence counter.
 * Your second argument would be that you can't hope to win a trade against them, which I find odd. Since you have an on demand 30-90 armor + mr shield that can target you or your ally that's being focused. Furthermore if you land the taunt on boh of them, that's equal to a 2 person exhaust, instead of reducing the damage by 35% it reduces it to 50% and theynare forced to attack Galio with that reduced output, instead of the ADC.
 * Your third semi-argument states that poke lanes CAN work, but tend to be quite squishy. However with Galio this is hardly the case. In fact his innate armor and mr is quite substantial. Especially compared to squishy pokes like Sona and the like. But even against thresh himself he comes out on top in terms of tankyness.
 * To finish my plea, I'd like to note that in over 30 games against a Thresh in general and ~8 games against a Thresh/Draven combination specifically, I have yet to loose the lane against them (game loss does still happen if you obliterate your own lane, sadly)
