I admit that it's weird for there to be different sizes, but I feel safe in assuming that it's classic Malph fighting here. He's not actually an ice being or a coral reef.

As far as mobility for Galio, I have to point out that Galio never gets any bonus in-game from wings. He has no speed boosts or jumps or blinks or dodges or anything. So we can't say for certain that his wings give him the ability to dart around like a dragonfly. Maybe he's more of a pelican or a vulture (they look like his flight animation anyway,) which would mean that he's not much of an acrobat in the air.

I also want to point out that there's rocks on the field for the two to throw. So Malphite can't use his magically-generated shard against Galio, but he can still throw regular rocks. (If you look at his animation for the Q, he cocks back his empty hand, and then the rock magically appears once he finishes a throwing motion. So it's not an ordinary rock, it's a 'shard of the earth', whatever that means.)

I think we're agreed that the biggest issue is how big Malphite actually is. I want to add the second issue of Galio's air mobility.
