So why did you buff Garen?

He is literally unstoppable now. Builds full tank in lane and one shots you with E, and then builds a Frozen Mallet or Black Cleaver and destroys everyone. No getting away, no hurting him, you just die.

So, remind me why you buffed him? I know he has a skin coming up, but that's not an excuse to break a champion that is already too strong. And before you say anything about his winrate, remember that skill in high ELO is determined by how much CC you have on a team, and Garen has no CC.

Literally. Unstoppable. No counterplay, whatsoever.

All he has to do is walk past your team to your ADC and he one shots them in a combo that takes a mere 3.5 seconds to execute, and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do to prevent this, because he walks 30% faster with his Q on.

Once he walks up to your ADC, and starts spinning on them, there's NOTHING you can do to prevent them from dying in 3.5 seconds.

Garen is literally an unstoppable juggernaut.

He was broken before, now he has EVEN MORE DAMAGE. Just wait till the pros figure out how busted he is, he will be 100% Pick/Ban in LCS.

Oh i'm sorry are you relatively angry that when they give a champion who has been out of the top tier for a while a nice gift to boost them back into the upper brackets? Seriously even with Garen not being part of the strong side, Sion Shen Darius Nautilus still cover some of the top lane grab list of champions to utterly ruin the fun in top lane with scummy kits that especially let them pull off EZ jungle ganks with plenty of other champions, but expecially the scummy ones who can also have stuns/taunts or any kind of Easy B.S. stu n and/or high damage burst in early game, Garen is strong in sticking around, but its kind of useless if you can't skill counter'play against EZ high innate tank champions who still get sizable damage and some having easy ways to dish out the damage with little to no trading against their opponents often.

Garen's new E effect now gives a big old bulls'eye threat against armor stacking champions and when he already can use his silence as a ability spam out disruptor against priority targets, it can make champions outside of ADCs who barely use abilities or MasterYi get ruined as much as a Fizz E or Q frame or W damage reduction to dodge the annoying CC or big damage hits.

Though i will say Vayne needs to be put in check, otherwise i would gladly welcome tank shredder champions to stick out more and come into the game to make all mage health stackers and stack nothing but tank item champions get evicted out of the meta and they then have to share its place with a larger group, which means more champions being viable and less 'dominant champions being less useful.'

and when i mean Tank Shredders, i mean champions who have the strong advantage to rip apart tanks but it does not translate to them being able to instant kill squishies to boot. Because Raw damage f'arounders like Leblanc or ones who can do ridiculous % hp huge AoE nukes especially multiple times and in team fights aka are more like champions who get alot of strength and hard to see what actually is the actual weakness(es) that is suppose to compensate for the aburd'ness champions like them cause.
