It depends of picks indeed, a good pick makes (out)playing easier. Viewing the short range on Thresh and Draven, Galio's poke and flash ult are good indeed, good thinking on your part.

But I think a "weird" support is very impactful in a game. The kit of an "ordinary" support is useful all game, as it is mostly CC, speed-up, shields, ... A non-ordinary support (usually) doesn't have this and is only succesful when he can use his damage skills effectively, hence he has to be fed. If not, he is quite useless. Also, lack of CC/speed-up/shields can feed the enemy ADC, and everyone knows this is quite impactfull.

I am not targeting this per se at your Galio, I never played with a Galio support but I see how it can work, as his kit is quite supporty. However I have played with Nidalee, Pantheon, Heimerdinger, Quinn, Teemo, Jax supports and most of them were useless sitting in the brush, and only a few got fed enough to do damage.
