can riot fix garen now?

step 1: rework a champion and overbuff

step 2: nerf him into the ground (patch 24)

step 3: give up on the champion and put him on a "to rework later" list.

garen is worse than he was before the rework right now. not only weaker but has no diveristy in item builds and rune choices.

patch 24 aimed to nerf the attack speed scaling but all it did was nerf every single way garen can be played and make attack speed the only option on him.

why does riot always rework champions and then never truly try to balance their reworks and just gives up on them? its like they only know the nerf hammer or how to overbuff them.

garen only gets 9 spins now unless he builds attack speed. he deals less damage and is less tanky than before the rework.

the only way to play him now is trinity force phantom dancer to make him deal enough damage.

He needed the nerf. They shouldn't touch him anymore. Im gonna guess that you're a Garen player, so you don't know how broken and annoying he as to play against before he was nerfed. He was waaaay too strong before, he's fine now.

I would like if they returned his Q functionality to the way it was before rework (if enough animation occured it will go through flash etc), You can literally flash or other rapid movement and it wont go through half the time and thats without breaking vision.

######other examples would be darius W,nassus Q

At least theu reverted the E damage nerf, although it was stupid of them to nerf it when they said they only wanted to target AS garen but then again rito aint know for big brains.........or even average brain.

Honestly they could do with buffing some of their base stats his HP at level 18 is fairly low, like teemo has marginally better HP than him some adcs too.

Stop running Conqueror while trying to be a lane bully and go with Fleet instead for sustain. Max Q and go for short trades, get lvl 10 armor and MR rune. It's like they didn't even change him aside from the ult but I actually like how you can shred armor real damn quick now, toss a BC in and you shred 50% armor in about a sec or two. Hit them with the Q after you spin like any Garen that's worth their salt should, ez.
