Garen: Do People Really Want The Crit Vs Extra Damage?
So to start, with the recent change to Garen on PBE, crit was re added but the damage scaling was reduced:
> Judgement (E): > Total AD ratio reduced to .46/.47/.48/.49/.5 from .47/.49/.51/.53/.55 > [RE ADDED EFFECT] Judgement can once again critically strike for bonus damage
What this meant was that for people that built Garen as a full / off tank, this is a nerf as you would never ever build IE or Ghost blade, but for people that actually like those items this is a nice change.
DISCLAIMER: i'm a full tank Garen player not a crit Garen
Now honestly I would rather have it where Garen has a higher AD ratio rather than crit, while the crit thing was a nice qwerk for him it was often never used for most Garen's you built full tank or off tank (BC, etc.).
The re-adding of crit seems like it would be nice for the people that played Garen in the crit style but be a overall nerf to people that prefer to play Garen as a tank (which I think is the majority of Garen players), this means that this change will make make the players that like the qwerky crit build happy but make him weaker for the majority of players that prefer to build him tanky.
So would people honestly like to see Garen have crit back so you can build the qwerky crit build, or would people rather have it where you get the higher AD ratio that will probably help more build paths than that qwerky one?
READ ME: This is to get an idea of if people would rather have the crit qwerk or the AD ratio buff on Garen.
