This change could demonstrate that Irelia does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that her allyship also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Irelia.

Is Galio better when played alongside Irelia?

There is no perfect synergy for Galio that will no matter what be his best ally. Yet, Irelia is a relatively poor ally for Galio. By locking into the same team as Galio, she lowers their win rate by -2.4% to 48.2%. This demonstrates that there is a bad synergy between Galio and Irelia that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Irelia has a lower difficulty than Galio. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Irelia comrades to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing alongside, Galio players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. Combined, these two will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Conversely, by aligning Galio and Irelia together, you probably will not be granting your team enough attack damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Irelia ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
