50.14% Winrate. Wow I really though the armor shred change would make very little difference, mostly because Garen isn't meant to attack tanks but he's actually doing a lot better now. Color me surprised.
he's still bad, tho
not sure if sarcastic or legit surprised, and if you are surprised, than that's kinda silly.
Let's talk about the lowest win rate assasins. Zed and Kassadin, what do they NOT have, that other assassins do have?
A optimal toolkit that allows them to fight against tanks.
Let's talk about the highest win rate marksman, vayne and twitch what do they have that other marksman don't have?
A way to kill tanks
CLEARLY killing tanks, is quite important right now FOR ALL classes.
He's pretty good in low elo agaisnt shitters, you just splitpush with sunfire cape while your whole team TDM around drag. When you get around 2-3 items you just 1v3 , simple as that.
In an AD-heavy team, being the tank in the middle of the enemy team and just spinning adds sooo much total damage from your team.
Lots of Juggernauts come with latent tank-busting. Garen should have it in theory with an execute, but the shred probably helped him feel consistent against non-villains.
Garen isn't meant to attack tanks
He is now. The patch notes gives context on his inability to pierce the enemy frontliners' durability and his lack of utility and says the change "lets him better carry his weight against tankier foes when he can’t reach the Villain and gives allies a way to capitalize on Garen’s efforts."
