Has anyone else been having a problem with this stupid beyblade? Almost every game I've played in so far there has been a Garen and my team always feeds him.

I have a lot of problems with other people playing Garen. I'm a Garen main myself, and have played him since I started in season 1. Either someone goes up against Garen and isn't prepared for what he can do in skilled hands, or there's a Garen trying to use the builds more experienced players use without knowing how to play it properly.

I took a look at your match history, and I have to say I'm not too surprised. The last two times you saw a Garen he was going up against a very favorable lane. Akali and Renekton can get shut down by him pretty darn hard, particularly if they don't know how to play around Garen's W and spin (bait out W before burst or CC, make sure spin hits multiple targets for reduced damage). A few jungle ganks can get the early game snowball going for Akali and Renekton, and Garen can't stop that snowball very well, so that's partly a mistake on your jungler.

Back a little further there's a Garen that went against a Morde, didn't seem to be a problem. There was a game where he faced Riven, which is also a favorable matchup for Garen. Before that he faced GP, which is also favorable, and before that was Shen who is a skill matchup, and the even score showed it as such.

I'm surprised at how often you're seeing him, and I really don't want that to be a trend because people will start learning his tricks. That said it seems like he was constantly going against matchups that naturally favor him, so the outcome without jungle help is not so surprising.

It's a paradox.

When I play Garen (which is always XD) 30 seconds into the game the enemy jungler ganks. Then returns 1 minute later while my bottom is busy feeding.

When I play AGAINST a Garen I see my Unicorns then I do my jungler XD
