These Garen Changes

I'm actually worried that they're going to break the game. He's already one of the hardest champions to kill. Now imagine him being able to nuke people even more so than he can now.

He's hard to kite because he can remove slows on a low cd, speed up in his e, and his ult has good range on it. Now he's gunna get true damage?

This whole juggernaut update seems like a fantasy someone at riot had and is just making happen because they can.

his ult has melee range. its just the part that people never get, is that you cant flash or dash out of range once he started the cast. it will follow you and hit (and probably kill you) at your new location.

you have to be in melee range for him to ult you in the first place, but if by some way wou were to make it to the other side of the map in the time the cast has started until the animation hits, it would kill you on the other side of the map.

Of all the champions in the Juggernaut update Garen is one of the weakest, with Skarner being right next to him.

Just bait out his Q and apply your slow after it and you can kite him just fine. Also if you are not the marked target you don't have to worry about true damage, and if you stand next to friendly or neutral units (champions or minions/monsters) he does reduced damage with his spin.

He also has to build more late game tank to reach the levels he was at before patch 5.16, and armor items are getting small nerfs, so odds are he won't be any harder to kill.

So...Darius is a thing, but somehow the person you have problems with is Garen? What? Darius can't just run out of a fight and be back to full health sure, but he has so much more play potential. He can dunk an entire team for true damage, has two forms of movement crowd control (one being a pull) and bleeds out everyone whenever he hits them. Now, they are buffing his Q hardcore to turn it into a massive self heal, and buffing his ult to apply max stacks to the entire team (which again, causes massive bleed damage without even taking the ult into consideration) which will allow him to do MAXIMUM MULTI-DUNKS.

But Garen is the one you are worried about. Right.
