My experiences of Galio is that he just can't chase people down very well. He has a lot of CC but he still gets hideously kited by everyone. His cast animations are just so damn long, Q has slow travel time even when cast point blank, W has a channel, E has about a second of windup as he does the backhop. Etc.

He has trouble chaining his CC together to keep an enemy in lockdown unless he manages to initiate with a Flash-Taunt followed by his E... but then when does he throw his Q? The enemy will be on the ground again and be able to escape before the Tornado does any damage to them if he uses it after the E. And if he uses it after the taunt then the cast animation means that the enemy will break the taunt and be able to dodge his E.

He's all hard CC and no soft CC. Requires Iceborn Gauntlet as a core item to actually make his kit fit together, otherwise he lacks 'flow'.
