At this point Garen just seems like the champion you pick if you wanna play hearthstone while playing league, his kit is so low effort that you can play the champ with half your brain. His q does too much damage early and late. now you might hop in the comments and say" But canadain he got a damage nerf in patch 8.17 and while sure this is true he was over buffed patch 8.9 increasing his damage from 30-135 to 20-170. patch 8.17 decreased his damage but not back to the level that it was pre 8.9. there is no counter play to a tank that can run at you silence you then spin on you like hes a record and you are his turn table all while getting ready to slam his giant sword down into your skull like Lebron James dunking the rim. "But canadain cant you just cc him like any other tank?" good question, you can sure try but when he presses w he gets 40% Tenacity which is cool. oh did I mention he can buy item 3142 item 3147 anditem 3053 and just beybade through your team like they dont exist all while still trying to decide if he should play saronite chaingang or use his heropower. It feels that riot cares more about the pro players then they do the normal players. at this point if a champion needs nerfs you better paypal an lcs lec etc player 500 dollars so that champion can be played in pro for riot to go" Ah frick we did an oopsie" and gut the champion like they did akali,irelia aatrox v1 and v2.

Try playing around his abilities' cooldowns, and harassing him when he goes to heal. If you can avoid dying to him he'll fall off mid-late and will fairly useless in teamfights.

at no point, because he is very much on the weak side right now.

hes weak early game, mediocre midgame and has like 40% winrate for games that last longer than 30 minutes. if garen got any changes now, he would get buffs. probably pretty significant ones to his lategame.

not that this alone would fix his problems, but i still dont understand why his base ad at lvl 18 is 6 lower than the other juggernauts, and his base hp at lvl 18 is 200 lower.

Play Garen for a while, I recommend that you go against ranged and/or mage matchups to get the best experience. You will quickly see how much garen sucks against them, you have to get Phase rush most of the time just to catchup to the enemy ranged laner. In the late game you will see how much he sucks in general.

Garen only becomes a problem when he gets an early lead and keeps it through the early game to the mid-game. So either don’t let him get a lead and play very carefully when pushed up, or make sure to shut him down almost immediately after he gets a lead so you can get your powerspike item and start snowballing.

Garen is not league's problem right now...or even one of them
