Garen buff suggestion (to consider after PBE reversions)

A hypothetical change I thought of that may not be too huge but would give Garen another tool under his belt. Added effect to his Q that if activated within near-immediate range of three (3) or more allied minions, grants minions in the vicinity half of Garen's movement speed bonus (by current numbers would be 15%), lasting for -0.5s from Garen's own applied bonus (so 1/1.5/2/2.5/3).

Just a thought that came to mind earlier after thinking on Garen's voice line that plays when activating Q ( Garen "CHARGE!" ) Why would he be telling only himself to charge? It could make some sense for his Q to "inspire" those of lesser rank, and what better target for that than the minions? Not quite as effective in the early game, but becomes somewhat more impactful as you work toward maxing Q.

Feel free to tell me why this would be a horrible idea, and/or present your own ideas!

This is a good idea. It would give Garen some utility since all he ends up doing is split push late game and I could see it being healthier than no heal break on jungle monsters and hypersonic spinning. Legit a good idea for once

While this might be a neat little thing that might come in handy every once in a while, I don't think it would really be that helpful or that much of a buff to Garen. They haven't given up on the Garen changes, they're just not going in the on-hit direction
