[Quote] Riot's vision they had for Garen two years ago.

My vision for Garen is that he is a relatively low mobility fighter (unchanged) with low combat ranges (unchanged) who a) is more or less immune to poke damage, b) inflicts immense damage to anyone within his reach, and c) if forced out of a fight but not killed, will rapidly regenerate health to return to the fray for cleanup duty. Think of him as an inverted Mundo/Singed – lower in-combat sustain but dramatically higher out of combat sustain. Pre-fight, Garen should walk in front of Nidalee spears and /laugh. Within fights, Garen should cleave a path through the mid-line, force the enemy ADC so far out of the fight that they cannot participate, turn and shut down the enemy mage or tank, execute the other while at 5% life himself, then solo dragon while his team takes an inhibitor.

I feel like after the Base Movement Speed nerf and Decisive Strike Movement Speed bonus nerf he'll fit this ideal pretty well. What do you guys think?

(I still want the Active Tenacity back on Courage though so I can cleave a path through the mid-line easier. Rito pls; just make it scale with rank. 10%/15%/20%/25%/30%)

thats what he was pre rework.

now his objective will usually be to actually reach the adc and not just zone him out of the fight, as hes likely to be the villain. but otherwise its pretty spot on.
