please tell me the garen update focuses on minor changes and buffs.

im not sure if i want a rework on the scale like last time : / hes not in that much of a bad spot.

as a champion overall, he seems to be pretty well balanced. the problem that garen has in this game is mostly not that hes broken himself, but rather with champions that arent as well balanced as him and dont have clear counterplay.

gnar, jayce, teemo and his shrooms. all terribly designed, lacking counterplay when strong and coincidentally belong to the champions he has the most problems with.

his lategame could be beefed up somewhat, but thats pretty much it. would be nice if they helped damage garen out somewhat by increasing his crit scaling. since that wouldnt affect tanky garen, and mainly affects his lategame, it would be a good point for buffs.

along with that, id like to see them flattening out the crit damage on his spells like ashes passive, to make the stat more reliable on his q.

and the idea of allowing him to ult large and epic monsters, to give him some team utiltiy without affecting his lane dominance.

i also want to see how the fighter itemization changes work out for him, that are coming in a couple weeks, before they touch him.
