Incoming downvotes: What if garens w worked similar to riposte?

upon activation, it blocks all incoming crowd control within the next 0.75 seconds and grants 30% damage reduction for 2 seconds.

should you actually "parry" crowd control effects, the damage reduction is extended to 6 seconds.

base cooldown of the ability: 15 to 10 seconds (rank 5).

his kit barely changed, is still simple and easy to pick up on. but his skillcap was now largely increased.

Yeah, I think Garen loses too hard to cc at the moment. I was playing him one game and they had a Thresh a singed and a cait. Trying to get on top of their carries was cancer. With his current kit, he has no cc and is just useless against a team that knows what they're doing

Just dont allow him to stun ppl like Fiora does and i wouldnt midn testing this out on the PBE but the immunity needs to be short AF or else he will be too hard to lane.

Also lore whise it should only block/give magic resistance/reduction since Demacia hate magic or something last time i heard from Laughing Fish

Seems like a pretty good way to keep the champ easy, but give him some more depth at the same time

So what you would nerf on him to compensate for this gigantic buff?

If you say nothing im just disregarding your response.

So what you would nerf on him to compensate for this gigantic buff?

the first one is obvious and already included. right now his damage reduction lasts for full 6 seconds at rank 5 disregarding the circumstances. so it would be less reliable in that regard, but more impactful when timed properly.

this mechanic would probably also replace the slow cleanse on his q.

otherwise it depends if he even needs further nerfs, considering how bad he is above diamond 5. the goal here after all is to make this a buff overall.

some tests on the pbe would be required to see how this actually affects him. i remember people losing their shit when he got the armor shred buff, and it turned out to not be as crazy as most people thought.

If you say nothing im just disregarding your response.

do you even realize what you just said? what response are you going to ignore, if i werent to give any?
