Why I love being a Garen main (Since Lv1 back in season 2-3), and what I hate. (Small Rant)

I LOVE Garen. Like I played him as a Support, AP Mid Laner, and a Jungler. Why? Because I just fell in love with his kit, it's very precise in that timing my ult to be sure to land the killing blow, or hitting W when diving to stay alive. Made it feel VERY inspiring that I could do so much with him. Because I took the time to test builds, see what works, and what doesn't for me. An fully, I believe, master him where I can beat out most counters who aren't mains as well, or have more game knowledge then me.

But since playing, I get flack of course for proudly saying that I main this Might of Demacia, Leader of the Charge. Because he's simple. Q is a silence and a movespeed steroid. W increases Armor/Magic Resistance and null some damage when activated. E is an AOE damage source. An R is a execute. An I gotten SO much hate and negative attitudes towards me doing well, and then saying "Yeah, I main Garen." to either my teammates or the enemy team. Like "OMG he is so easy, and brainless". Ect. An I am bad as a player for maining him.

But aren't all champions "simple?". Aside from a select few; like Xerath, Azir, an Lee Sin (IMO). Like my last game, I was building full damages Garen with HP items (Like Frozen Mallet). I die once from a gank, but then snowball after I rush my IE and Frozen Mallet. Going 10/1 in like 20 minutes. Talon speaks in all chat, "Must be hard to hit the Q button then E".

But isn't Talons "combo" just "E-Q-W-R-R"? It's takes just as much it not less thought than Garen. Because I won't always make it with just Q. I have to set it up so that when I Q CAN land successfully. I normally E, than Q so I hide the animation of my speed up, hit E again to stop it to lower the cooldown and rush forward to try and blind side whoever I am chasing. Talon's E is a blink. So he just appears RIGHT there. He can be in a bush, behind a wall, anywhere (Or within range you know, not anywhere) and just do his combo and probably run off.

I feel that people really over-cap their champion mains "difficulty" with blind-prejudice. I mean, Garen is very simple, don't get me wrong. He is REALLY easy to pick up. But being able to fully make use of his kit, takes a bit of know how. I seen some people first time pick up Garen after the rework and think they can just steam roll. I pick Gnar, kite them to death, and abuse what they DON'T know.

Bottom line is, I would wish for people to stop acting like champions who are also very simple in style, would stop acting all high an mighty when they find another champion to be "easy" because they have a set play style. When in all reality Most, if not all champions are "easy".
