Garen is the strongest he's been in quite a while, statistically (But he's still pretty weak)

Garen's the strongest he's been in quite a while now. However that doesn't say much.

He's rocketed up to 130th best champion in the hands of an expert on LoLalytics. Usually he's dead last.

Additionally, on Champion.gg, Garen sports 46.8% Winrate.

So Garen's unusually strong in Diamond+ but weaker than usual in Plat+.

Not sure how I feel about this. But it would be nice if he could have some slight buffs to hold him over until his rework this fall.

glad you can reference your claims. i checked em all out, hes not unusually strong in diamond+?

also

until his rework this fall

link source. if you meant the diver rework, i highly doubt he'll be in that, since he was in the juggernaut class rework, and that his Q hardly allows him to dive anybody but single target squishies, which is what any non-squishy aims to do in the mid-late game anyway

The number of Garen pickers in diamond+ is probably really really small. Small enough that their own player skill is peaking through in that stat

Actually it's possible the OP alone is most of the stats it has for diamond+ Garen as it is close to his own actual Garen winrate and that is a lot of Garen games.
