An important advantage of Galio is higher farming statistics (ranked 34th among role champions) (versus 59th for Akali), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
