Ok, here's what I like what they did with Garen
With all the hate threads on the boards about the new Garen, i think its worth mentioning some of the positives.
-
I like what they did with his ultimate. It always needed something more without simply being a worse or better Darius Ult. Now the two have completely different execute abilities. It feels powerful and cool
-
I like the theme of the new passive on his Ult. It's very Demacian.
-
I like the new items on Garen, I've always had trouble picking another damage item on Garen beyond Black Cleaver
-
I like the removal of crit chance on his spin. Don't get me wrong, but there was something janky about Crit Garen. His spins should pump out consistent damage.
-
I like his new Auto Range. It reminds me of Jarvan and reflects his massive sword's length.
-
I like the nerf to his health regen. Of all the nerfs he got, this one seems fair. He was getting a little ridiculous with it.
And that's about it. He needs his silence like Quinn and Elise need their blind and stun. And sticking power is part of his identity as a champion, it was one of the few things that separated him from Darius. Garen could run fast
