even for someone who isnt new to the game or to garen his auto attacks are so painfully easy to cancel. if he is going to be a starter champ at least dont troll the noobs by making his last hitting clunky as well..
Talamare10 votesI can't tell you how many times I have heard whosh whosh whosh whosh when trying to auto someone who was walking way

french maid garen skin with a broom to clean his own trash to mach that sound effect XD
*edit: i gon't play that much garen idk how is he on the lane XD
Omnipherious1 votesWhat's that, you want me to hit that guy? Sure, no problem. Let me just close into my 125 attack range.
Aww... they moved. Don't worry though, my 345 movement speed will let me get back in range before you know it.
Shit, moved again. No worries, third time's the charm they say.
I HAVE YOU NO- ... hm? Did you press something Talamere? Oh, that wasn't a cancel? Well then be more careful next time geez.

Javane5 votesSomething is off with Tristana's AA as well. It's harder to last hit with her now until she gets higher damage.
Silents4291 votesYes this, Recently played her again (I played her a bit after rework) and I couldn't last hit at all. Saw an enemy trist one game who couldn't either, and friend from earlier today said something is messed up with her.
William N Chocox1 votesOk, because I was supporting Trist today and she couldn't last hit for shit.
SpecterVonBaren1 votesHer base and per/Lvl attack speed got gutted, that's why. She also has a slight delay on her aa particle actually registering, it takes about 1/4 of a second for the auto to register after the particle has hit.
Count Tobi2 votesThere's some designer craze going on with reworks that auto-attacks should be fashionably exaggerated and slow, I guess it's for attraction to watch, when in reality it's just disgustingly bad design. 
and especially this bastard. 
junglerboy165 votesYi's aren't bad, because all the flourish-y part comes after the damage applies, so you can actually cancel the animation easily without canceling the damage.
Alistar's AA has always been slow and clunky, until you build him with a Trinity force and statik shiv.
Sion's are beefy but slow, which is good, and his passive form has extremely responsive AAs, which is the only place it really matters.
Garen's and Nasus' are too slow though.
SEKAI2 votesNo Ali used to have the fastest AA animation (not speed, animation) in the entire game, that was one of his biggest selling points.
I can cope with most of them, I had to give up on Garen though it's just near impossible to farm without spin2win or QQQQQ unless you have rushed a Sunfire to make things easier.
GloriousKaiser2 votesDon't screw with the cow slap.
Count Tobi1 votesI never said they were bad I said it's a designer craze at this point and extremely retarded. therefore worse than bad
Error Screen1 votes
That dramatic anchor drop.
Yfrappefort2 votesI agree. Before his rework, I had no problem csing at all with Garen. Now his AA feels so...clunky and slow that I miss more often. His jump in the air before Q is also too long and R cast animation is retarded (the CD as well), anyone can cut vision or simply dash away before these are executed.
KING OF MASKS2 votesI've played so much Garen that I've kind of adjusted to it at this point. But yeah, compared to most champions, it's pretty bad.
WHOOSH!
Zarxis2 votesI just want Riot to bring back his punching autoattacks and the Q flip. That, and lowering the CD on his ultimate.
Gunpoint1 votesSee Kassadin's new VU, they changed his AA animation so it's clunky.
WeFlyNoLie1 votesMaybe its because I main Garen top, but I don't really find a problem with his auto attacks. They're pretty reliable and easy to execute.
Like I said, its probably just because I'm used to it, but I don't see much of a difference with other champions that I play in comparison.
TeemoJenkins1 votesI remember... when Garen used to punch instead of swing a sword. I have his legendary skin and it's painful to hear the big whooshing sound only to NOT last hit the minion.
GloriousKaiser1 votesWhat I hate is how Garen seems to struggle when hitting things.
Heck his old self auto'd much better because the sword didn't seem like it weighed a ton therefore, he could at least auto easier.
Simplicate1 votesWith Garen I used my W for farming when I was just starting out I mean it was the most logical thing to do lol. Garen is a pretty decent starter champ and is fine the way he is imo. I started with Garen and now I've moved on to champs like 
and many other champs because of working off of him first and then slowly moving into mana based champs since mana can be hard to manage for noobs early on.
TheNewHumanine1 votesNot sure how a shield would help you farm but alright ._.
Simplicate1 votesWell E I'm sure you knew what I meant :P
MrSexyHobo1 votesWith Garen I used my W for farming when I was just starting out I mean it was the most logical thing to do lol. Garen is a pretty decent starter champ and is fine the way he is imo. I started with Garen and now I've moved on to champs like
i am not a noob trying to learn garen. i am a year and a half long player that knows how to cs and still finds garen to be one of the worst top laners at last hitting when his selling point is supposed to be how easy he is to learn
SpecterVonBaren1 votesW? Tenacity and damage reduction OP farm tools?
Colgate Gator1 votesReturn his "fist in the face" attack animation D:
Sooko1 votesFun time: Constantly cancel your auto attacks with S to see an amazing ancient Demacian cultural dance to celebrate victory over their foes.
pigsqueaks1 votesAnd his Q-auto-reset is the clunkiest auto-reset in the game
Quepha1 votesbring back the punch remove the bonus on-kill animation for R or make it visible to everyone.
Javane1 votesIn regards to Garen, I think it just takes getting used to. I feel like I miss a little CS here and there with his swing, but nothing too major. I think they want to give people more control to the AA. I'm sure Korean players feel like it's just right. Just have to learn it. I think I have more of a problem with Xin's swings then Garen's.
Also, why would a guy punch when you have a huge freaking sword? It was a bad idea for him to do it in the first place. Like Vayne throwing a rock as one of her attack animations.
Also, I don't think Garen is a trashy learner champ anymore. They buffed him to be insanely tanky and deal pretty decent damage. His silence is the only real point to click silence in the game now and he can't be stopped when spinning. His ult is just so damn satisfying when you execute with it.
