Why does Garen lose to almost every toplaner 1v1? I refuse to believe he is a jaggernaut

It's stupid , not only he is mega kiteable but u also lose against all bruiser and Jaggernauts and some mages like Vladimir 1v1, even if u hit magically all abilities. U also lose against tanks which is why quite irritating. Shen should not be able to beat Garen 1v1

Aren't Jaggernauts supposed to be good at 1v1? Isn't that their trademark?

you're playing it wrong then... i can win most lanes with garen unless it's an adc top that doesn't get ganked(maybe). you need to know what runes to bring to each matchup and also. you must know how the other champion works. but then again i was 14-0 lat match and STILL got trolled -_-

There is a reason that Garen's passive exists. In the early game he can go for risky trades and look like he lost the trade up front but his sustain when managing his passive turns a lost trade into a won trade 20 seconds in the future.

Because his design is that of an anti-immobile Mage.

Of course you will lose trades to ad juggs who use autoes and have damage passives in addition to spells.

Riot just loves to make a lot of anti-Mages stuff.

you trade and then sit back to let your passive tick over 20 seconds later, guess what, you actually won the trade.

Leave Garen alone.

You're right on one point, at least. At the moment, Garen Mid is a lot better than Garen Top.

Garen has had to be hard nerfed because of the Garen Yuumi botlane duo

Entirely possible. I haven't played league much since last friday and since I remembered him being so powerful I'd assumed he was recently nerfed.

Because he’s a brain dead champion that would be too strong if he straight up “won” 1v1. He brings a good amount to team fights with his W and ultimate threat on back line and low front liners

Yes, and when the changes come in, he will be able to 1v1 since his R will now be a true execute it should have been (the villain mechanic was such a blunder), and his E will deal more spin damage. Although he will still get outclassed by shit like Darius. Makes me wonder why they wont give Garen a second passive on his passive. Darius has one, Morde has one, you get the point. Aatrox could use one even (not anything that is straight broken, just helpful shit).
