@Meddler, Will Garen get his 5.16 Courage(W)? Getting 4stks on Champs, Cannon Mins, Large/Epic Mons?

In the Juggernaut update, Garen was supposed to receive 1 armor/magic resistance(4 stacks) upon Champion kills, Large/Epic Monsters, and Cannon minions while receiving 0.25 for normal unit kills. However, it never went to live even though it was in the patch notes and a Rioter said he would talk with the balance team on it but never came back with it ever again. Is it possible to look into bringing this in for a possible buff to Garen's early game?

Riot don't care about Garen.

Even though he not only deserves, but desperately NEEDS a buff for garen players in high elo, they still will refuse to do anything to him.

Garen's late game needs just as much help as his early. His ult is fucking garbage unless its villain and even then its no better than darius ult most of the time.

Honestly, remove villain and put more power into his Q, E, and/or ult so he can actually do shit to everyone.

So I made the post about the W passive. And this is what RiotRepertoir responded to me with about 7 months ago:

Yeah, sorry for the late response on that. I should have gotten back to the thread. I talked with the balance team about it, and since it's never been on Live since the Juggernaut update (it was a typo from an older version of the patchnotes) and Garen seems to be in a decent spot, we decided not to change it to this version, since, though perhaps unlikely, we didn't want it to push him over the top.
