How to beat Milio as Galio: the early game

Levels 1-2 favour Milio: his fire kick out-ranges your Q and Cozy Campfire heals the poke you land, so respect his zoning and farm rather than face-checking into a soft-CC combo that lets his ADC free-hit you. His reach beats your tornado and his heals cover the chip, so stop poking and play for one clean punch instead. Hold the shield toward his carry. Wait for the moment his ADC steps past the minion line, because a wind-up that starts before that is a wind-up he answers.
