with his silence and movement speed boost?. AM telling you that garen. is like. the most champion that i don't fucking know how to play against. especially him building just a black cleaver and chunking half my health with his full spin. how do I kite him when he can activate his E and Q and get some stupid movemement speed? I just can't do it. it never happened . the only time I can kite garen is with blue ezreal. i just can't deal with him

Who are you playing?

whatever? an adc? any ranged champion. because any mele champion is just fucked against him unless you can simply beat him in a 1v1.

Kiting him is a team effort., unless you're playing Vayne.

for some reason. I ran into garen. do I just accept my fate and die? because its impossible to outrun him unless you have someone like a ward hop or a long ass dash.

well he can't be slowed so thats out of the way. my problem is his stupid movement speed boost that he can activate even while spiining. totally different abilities. activate both. idk if thats consider animation canceling or not but its really stupid

Slow him after he casts Q.

it just depends, to be honest.

If he's fed, then probably, but if you have CC you can try and get to tower or teammates.

Yes. Garen is an anti-carry whose purpose is to dive. Few ADCs can kite and kill him solo.

Don't get caught out alone. Would you expect to be able to survive getting caught out by Rengar 1v1? Think of Garen as a tankier Rengar with less burst that you can see.

As an ADC with full items, you should be able to survive his Q-E and kite easily. item 1300 item 3072/ item 3153 and item 3139 for the speed boost and silence. item 3046

Don't wander map alone if you don't know where he is. If you do get caught out, that depends on the champion, Jinx has chompers, Draven has stand aside etc. to give you a moment to run away to some safe spot.

Only the most mobile champions are able to actually kite Garen on their own, like for example Teemo.

Slow him as (after) he uses his cleanse/movespeed boost. Since he doesn't reach you you won't be silenced, if he catches you without needing Q it's already somewhat late into the game since he needs deadman's and swiftness to do that, at which point you should not be facing him as a ranged champion alone, your team should be there to peel. Garen has one single movespeed boost+ cleanse in his entire kit to deal with CC. It's not like he has Olaf's ult with Yi's movespeed. He's one of the guys that can get kited rather well.

First you go Quinn Second you build item 3142 item 3009 item 3094 item 3053 item 3156 item 3036

Now any time Garen gets close to you or the minions shoot him. Your combo is typically going to be q -> auto -> vault -> auto.

Feel free to roam, you get over 1k move speed in ult form with homeguard.

Anything melee will hate you with a burning passion, and you can be anywhere on the map near instantly.

As an ADC, use item 3022 item 1305 .

As a mage, it depends on who you're playing, but if it's someone like Xerath, Ziggs, or Lux, you should never be close enough to Garen for him to be a threat. If it's a shorter range mage with no mobility such as Viktor, Swain, or Malzahar, drop whatever cc you have after he uses his Q, then just run away behind your front line. There's no point in trying to kill him, since he'll just use W and laugh off your burst. Try to keep your tanks between yourself and Garen at all times. If they're any good, they won't let him lay a finger on you.

Try to kite him with your slow AFTER he uses his Q's move speed increase. It only lasts like 2 seconds and has a medium length cooldown. It breaks him free of all slows, but he cant do that when its on cooldown. Kinda have to play around his Q. Big problem is that with sooo many movement speed items in the game right now, you cant kite champions like him, nasus, and darius like you could before. That used to be their biggest weakness, but items have almost completely gotten rid of that problem. Which is a huge reason why theyre so strong and viable nowadays

As an ADC, you don't kite Garen; you run away as fast as you can. Aside from that, there are faster champions in the game such as Yi and Udyr and there are champions with CC. but even then you have to be careful if Garen builds the right build.
