So RIOT any plans for Garen?

DarwinTheory··2 votes·534 views

You took away his 2.5 silence and some movement speed then introduced a series of hyper mobile champs and gameplay designs over the next two years.....very proactive and forward thinking I must say. I can tell how deeply you factor in each and every game design change you make thinking long term. It really shows!!

You introduced runes which really make him useless. Grasp is irrelevant because in this hypermotile hyper poke game you never stay in combat longer than 2 seconds let alone 4 making that process useless and not being able to do damage makes you irrelevant in this current game design. No decent silence and no cc makes it irrelevant on Garen and building damage I get instant gibbed as an alternative. Even the top players in the world pick Yommumu on Garen now.

Garens E armour shred is useless. In this hyper motile game which enemy sticks on Garen long enough to proc that? Or BC?

You succeeded in your ambitious goal of creating more champion diversity too! I now have the choice of facing either Klepto Nasus or Klepto GP in 90% of my games top. Fun fun fun!!!! I have to tell you it's so much fun getting poked non stop. And did I mention how the lack of movement speed impairs Garen Vs those two? Sorry. I wasn't sure if you noticed RIOT so thought I'd remind you. I know you have highly talented game designers and playtesters but wasn't sure if this one thing escaped your gaze.

On a rare occasion though I'll see a nice villain mechanic proc on a random unfed enemy though who happens to get a fortunate kill making it super useful I must say......but tbh I seem to notice more leprechaun turds in my local forest than I see villain procs overall.

Buffing ADCs was a stroke of genius. Having removed Garens movement speed RIOT I have to say it's so nice getting poked poked poked by ranged champs chunking me and being unable to do anything back because you took away my tenacity and instant W armour. If only some forward thinking rioteer had the foresight to NOT have removed my instant W bonus for the juggernaut update knowing you were going to soon buff ADCs.....oh well...

And I know I know......Garen stomps low Elo so you can't buff him.......funny then isn't it..........Yasuo Lee Sin and several other champs enjoy high Elo tuning for BOoM BOoM big playz!!!!! Esports and skin sales ftw right guys?

White Knight downvotes incoming in 5 4 3......

  1. Increase his Q animation per level so those flash+Q doesn't take eternity to go throught
  2. Remove the W lock out during his Q animation
  3. Revert either his Q silence duration or movement speed duration/movement speed % .
  4. Rework the villain passive so those nasty bug where the enemy is shredding your team but the villain remain on the support randomly That's mostly all Garen could use . And as a Garen main , he is fine , you just need to adapt your build and playstyle according to your opponent.

this just anoyed the hell out of me in an irelia matchup. she timed her stun for my q, but i couldnt time my parry for her stun, since i was locked out of the ability during the animation every time.

Those changes would do alot of thing for Garen.
