Not all tanks are meant to be engagers. They could also be follow-up engagers or counterengagers. Tanks like Braum, Nunu and Shen have a lackluster initiation, but are much better at counterengaging and peeling for your allies like Galio.

"Tanks are supposed to disrupt your team and force you to focus them." What do you think his ult and shield+heal combo do? The only non-tanklike thing Galio has is that he doesn't like to be cc'ed during his ult.

And Galio is definitely not useless. He is one of the few tanks who has very good poke damage with good base damage and thanks to his passive, he gets a small boost in damage from building MR. He can also tank turret shots for ages thanks to his W. His slow is only 40%, but it lasts for 2.5 seconds, which is pretty long. If you ever faced against a good Galio player, you might reconsider your thoughts about him.
