Is Galio better when played alongside Tristana?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Galio that will no matter what be his best synergy. However, Tristana is a not very good ally for Galio.

This clearly indicates that there is a harmful bond between Galio and Tristana that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Tristana has a lower difficulty than Galio. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Tristana comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing on the same side, Galio players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. When paired, these champions will be a great protective duo.
