@RiotRepertoir, I have an idea for Garen's Passive...

First of all, i want to say that you made a great job on Garen's update, i really like these changes, especially ultimate :)

So, the thing is that Garen's current passive doesn't fit his character. It's called "Perseverance" and even reflected on one of his quotes - "I will fight as long as I stand!". But currently, once he gets low on health he escapes from the battlefield like a coward and safely regenerates his HP away from danger. After all, it's just Warmog's Armor passive mechanic... In my understanding, Garen is a man who will fight till the last breath. He will never run away from the battlefield, never cease to fight, never give up. The only thing that could stop him - is death. Therefore, i think that we can change it into something like: "Garen regenerates 1 / 2 / 3% of MISSING health every second". (monsters/minions restricts still apply).

I hope you will reply to my post :)

P.S. I apologize for my bad English, not a native speaker :(

Something like this might be a good change for the future if we felt we ever needed to look at Garen's passive, because it would probably make a little more thematic sense at least.

That said, one of the things with doing updates to champions is that it can sometimes be the right call to leave slightly suboptimal mechanics/tunings in kits if they aren't currently compromising the kit. As much as possible, we want to avoid "change for the sake of change," though sometimes things can still come off that way.

I think Garen should passively damage yordles that stand in a cone (his eyesight) out to 750 range.

Maybe double his regeneration while in combat to make him not so much of a sissy man?
