Garen just feels clunky right now... Especially his Q.
I mean, the spell got trashed like it's not possible.
Silence duration reduced to 1.5 seconds at all ranks from 1.5/1.75/2/2.25/2.5 seconds.
Movement speed duration reduced to 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds from 1.5/2.25/3/3.75/4.5 seconds.
There's no compensation anywhere, and it feels like harder to stick to your targets right now when the enemy team has a decent support.
Basically, my ideas to make the spell a bit more viable right now (don't stack them, he would become broken):
- Increase the movement speed duration to 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 seconds. Still a nerf vs old Garen, but you're getting more mobility early and late game compared to now.
- Reduce his Q's cooldown to 8/7/6/5/4 seconds
- The cooldown now starts at the cast of the ability and not when its effects vanish (I really like this one. Basically, right now, Decisive Strike goes on cooldown only when your Q's auto attack enchancer vanishes, which means either after you silenced your target or after 4.5 seconds. It would really be a Qol change for him as it mostly helps him sticking to targets with constant Qs and replacing his old "mega long silence rarely" for "tons of short silences", leaving more room for counterplay.
