My friend swears by Galio support.
He carried himself from Bronze 5 to mid-Silver with it.

I finally had the dubious honor to ADC for his Galio support... lane phase was a bit awful. Zero presence.
Manged to not feed and only be 10 CS down despite being heavily zoned, and then midgame turned out alright.
In teamfights, the peels were actually pretty legit. He kept a very fed Yasuo and a moderately fed Riven off me (as Varus) in every fight.

I can see plenty of reasons why Galio is not played competitively (get fucked in laning phase, mana issues, no escape, long cooldowns, etc) but in the chaos of low-ELO solo queue it seems really good. AoE ult champs like Galio and Amumu have a high winrate in lower divisions for a reason, everyone just groups up and wanders around in fights and if you have something to bring order to your team in the fight, you just win every time automatically.
