Simple garen balancing idea

Yep, another garen nerf post how original right? So garen is suppose to be a juggernaut, so No mobility, high tank and higher damage.
I just think garen is a bit too mobile at times, and I know just how to fix it without crippling him.

Change Decisive Strike to when you land the silence you lose the speed buff. This would make garen have to choose from landing his silence and getting less of his spin in, or don't use the silence and just spin to win. This wouldn't hurt his ability to escape so don't worry about that, it would give him just a bit of skill into his play which I myself would enjoy.

Good ol garen, that super mobile juggernaut thats so good he sees no high level play.

All his sticking tools for late game are worse then before his rework, he's easier to kite now then he ever has been before.

How do you figure? No mobility in his kit really changed.

Tenacity got removed, movespeed nerfed. And he was considered very easy to kite before already

Silence duration was also nerfed, effecting his late game stickiness vs mobility which he struggles with already

This is a great idea imo. I think he'd be more like their goal of a juggernaut if you were forced to choose between the speed and the silence

As someone who plays with the justice man himself, I agree with you. This kind of nerf would be fair and not hinder him, and makes it harder for him to escape. As of right now I get item 3009 80% of the time and when I get ganked I tend to just silence the jungle and run. Most of the time I get away and they can't follow up with my MS. Good thinking bro.

doesn't he build black cleaver as core? and doesn't that item give move speed after hitting an enemy? im thinking that this will be only a nerf to him in lane phase before he gets it so it wont really do much of anything to him after he builds BC
